Released this month, the five-part Fasting (978-1-599-79769-0, $19.99) series is intended to help participants tap into the spiritual power that can be found when Christians fast together. The Charisma House curriculum is being supported by the launch of a Web site, www.fastingchurches.com, which includes downloadable resources such as health advice.

With a Fasting Study Guide also available for $9.99, the DVD series features Franklin—pastor of Free Chapel in Gainesville, Ga., and Free Chapel West in Orange County, Calif., as well as founder of the Kingdom Connection Media Ministry—teaching the core principles of fasting. He also shares stories of how the spiritual discipline has impacted individual lives and churches.

Published in 2008, Fasting made the New York Times best-sellers list. "From the overwhelming response, it soon became clear to us that there would be an interest in ancillary products," said Woodley Auguste, senior publicist for the Strang Book Group. "In particular, we wanted to be able to help churches and church groups explore the corporate benefits of fasting together.

"There have been remarkable stories of what has happened when churches have fasted corporately—changes in people's lives, marriages healed. There's a spiritual dynamic that takes place."
