A Hunger for God: The Sermon Series

In these sermons, delivered at Bethlehem Baptist Church in January and February 1995, John Piper examines biblical and historical examples of fasting. He believes fasting is not part of a job description the Church must fulfill in order to earn God's favor, but a doctor's prescription for healing and revival.
