Released this month from Charisma House: “Fasting for a Change”

Speaker and Life Coach Tammy Hotsenpiller is Empowering Readers to Fast for a Spiritual Shifting

Lake Mary, Fla.— Influential speaker and life coach Tammy Hotsenpiller is empowering readers to fast for a spiritual shift in their personal lives, communities, and the nation. Fasting For a Change (ISBN-13: 978-1-63641-269-6) takes audiences on a 21-day journey looking at biblical figures who experienced what it was like to have God change them. As readers fast during the 21-days, Hotsenpiller equips them not only with the written word, but with encouraging tips and tricks so they can keep their focus on Christ instead of their flesh.

“People ask me all the time if fasting really works and if God expects us to fast as Christians,” Hotsenpiller writes. “My answer is yes and yes. Fasting is a two part-strategy God put in place for His followers to win the battle with the enemy. In Matthew 17:21 Jesus said: ‘However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting…’ I believe fasting is a vital key to our success in winning the war with both our flesh and our enemy.”

For Hotsenpiller, she has personally experienced the power of fasting and how God can move mountains when His people set aside the time to stay completely focused on Him. It is this same kind of deep and intimate relationship that Hotsenpiller has experienced that she now desires for readers to know as well.

“God teaches us in the Old Testament and the New Testament that part of our spiritual warfare comes through the practice of fasting,” Hotsenpiller writes. “The discipline to know how to say no to our flesh and yes to God. How to suppress our cravings and turn to Christ for our answers.”

Each of the 21-days takes readers on a deep-dive through the Scriptures about the power and principle of fasting and seeking the face of God. Through these 21-days, Hotsenpiller believes readers will have the chance to know more of God, the purpose and plan He has for their lives, and how to keep their eyes on Him no matter what the circumstances.

“The reality is that we all have a choice. We can make a choice to do something different. To grow and learn and develop, and truly become the person God created us to be” Hotsenpiller writes. “In this book, Fasting For a Change, we are going to look at the characteristics and behaviors that bring joy, peace, and fulfillment. These are the qualities that I believe God desires for each of us.”

Fasting For a Change, published by Charisma House, released on December 5, 2023, and is available online and wherever Christian books are sold.
