Dr. Fomum has written many books to date. From his personaljourney with the Lord, he speaks as one who daily experiences whathe writes.Concerning fasting, he says: ''At the height of a long fast ... betweenthe twenty-fifth and the fortieth day, the things of this worldbecome absolutely meaningless ... my looks, qualifications, job, money,clothes, property, the presence of human beings ... accomplishments... On the other hand, God was near and thoughts ofheaven possessed me. I was anxious to walk in perfect holiness."Many have written concerning fasting. Few have experienced extendedfasts several times per year of from forty-eight hours perweek and from twenty-one to forty days' duration with such resultsas Dr. Fomum and believers in some of the Churches in Cameroon."Each fasts according to his strength, each fasts drinking water only.The reader of The Ministry of Fasting is caught up in the realityof fasting unto the Lord on behalf of men leading tragic livesand nations facing tragic consequences of their sins or against theforces of evil in the world. As light is shed on the biblical teachingsof The Ministry of Fasting, one is challenged with the evidence ofthe need to make an acceptable fast unto the Lord.Along with Bible characters, the Church fathers from Savanarola,Martin Luther, Knox, Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, and mod¬ernChurch leaders, both living and dead, are cited as exemplary amongthose who valued fasting unto victory in Christ.
