El ayuno y la oración

October 8, 2001
Justiniano is a Bolivian attorney and the founder of the Spanish American Confederation of Communicators and Christian Mass Media, COICOM. At first glance, this book appears to be one of many dense titles on the topic, but Justiniano's simple and engaging style simplifies the dynamics of prayer and fasting. Sharing his personal experience, he explains how readers can obtain a deeper level of faith in God through these two rituals. Throughout, Justiniano clearly explains the definitions and misconceptions about fasting and provides practical suggestions for those interested in this practice and for those who doubt its effectiveness. In an appendix he also presents readers with a list of biblical quotes that inspired him to undergo a fasting journey for the past 18 months. Although it primarily addresses an evangelical audience, the book is helpful for anyone who seeks a greater understanding of the concept of fasting, and for those seeking to enhance their spiritual walk. Recommended for bookstores and libraries with a Spanish-language religious section.Lillian McAnally, Miami, FL
