Joseph W. Williams examines the changing healing practices of pentecostals in the United States over the past years, from the early believers to the later generations of pentecostals and their charismatic successors.

In addition to the why of fasting, the book explained how one should fast. A complete fast, Hall wrote, should last from the time hunger leaves to the time hunger returns-usually 21 to 40 days. Water should be consumed in abundance to clean out the stomach and intestines of waste. And when it's time to break the fast, Hall provided a detailed breakdown of what to eat and when.
Atomic Power brought success and notoriety to Hall, who continued to travel across the country evangelizing to crowds of up to 5, people. Perhaps the most intense variation mentioned in this intermittent fasting plan PDF is the variation.
