Fasting

Nashville: Thomas Nelson Inc., 1976. First Edition. Hardcover. Tan cloth covered boards. Near fine, in very good dust wrapper. 160 pages. 21 x 14 cm. The practice of fasting is as old as pre-history and as new as this week's headlines. People have turned fasting into a political weapon, as Gandhi, Mrs. Parkhurst's crusaders, and the Lord Mayor of Cork did. The author has written about all aspects of fasting and presents some novel ideas about non-eating that today's reader will want to ponder. Pages lightly toned. Boards clean. Dust wrapper lightly rubbed at the edges. Covered in protective mylar.
