2023 Reprint of the 1960 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Little is known of Franklin Hall's background. His birth and death are unknown. Along with many others of the depression era Hall grew up in rural poverty and was deeply religious. Initially he was with the Methodist church but their stance against healing forced him elsewhere. During the depression and World War II he traveled as an independent evangelist. When the revival erupted after World War II, Hall was there. He contributed to the revival a distinctive doctrine which, while it did not enrich him, had a phenomenal impact. Franklin Hall himself never attracted a large following. He considered himself a teacher rather than a healing evangelist. He worked in combination with a series of preachers, including "Little David" Walker, the most famous early child evangelist. Isolated by a somewhat deviant doctrine and less talented as a preacher than many of his competitors, Franklin Hall hung on through the fifties with the same tenacity that had helped him survive during the depression. In small churches and auditoriums across the nation he continued to teach with fervor his message of prayer and fasting and healing. When hard times came to the revival in the late 1950s, it was nothing new to Franklin Hall. He had an instinct for survival. Scores like him roamed the countryside. Unlike some faith healers, Hall emphasized teaching. His extremist views in the area of fasting and healing were considered unacceptable to many evangelists. He attributes the demise of the revival of the 1950s to the lack of fasting and to spiritual coasting by the leaders. Extreme in the area of healing, he held to a "body-felt salvation." Accordingly, the fire of the Holy Spirit, if fully applied to a person (which would take about thirty days), would eliminate the potential for sickness, tiredness, and even body odor. These extremes and the discipline they entailed severely limited his following. Hall wrote several books, including Glorified Fasting (1961), The Fasting Prayer (1947), The Body-Felt Salvation (1968), Formula for Raising the Dead (1960), and Our Divine Healing Obligation..."

According to Hall, there has never been a time in the history of Christian religion that was more important than the present. He attributes the problems within Christianity to the lack of faith, hence the title of this pamphlet, BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF. His response to this problem is to rely on prayer and fasting as the road to belief in Jesus. "The prophets and most spiritual men and women of all ages knew and experienced major fasting with their prayers. Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights. He was acquainted with the value of the process. Today, if someone fasts beyond one, two or three days it is almost a miracle, yet there is as much difference between this kind of fasting and a fast of ten, twenty-one and forty days as there is between day and night. YOUR UNBELIEF will be entirely eliminated by the latter method of fasting, and this type of fasting is the nearest thing to faith except faith itself. The prophets knew and experienced It.According to Hall, anyone can have an experience such as Moses, Elijah, David, Daniel Paul or any other prophet or apostle had, by putting into practice the very thing that they did. And he explains how to execute both prayer and fasting in this title.

The book, which provided detailed information on the methods and benefits of fasting, was an immediate success and brought Hall considerable fame. According to Hall, all of the major evangelists began following his fasting regime and miracles erupted everywhere. Many observers of the early revival years agreed, as one said, "Every one of these men down through the years followed Franklin Hall's method of fasting." He followed this up with "The Fasting Prayer" in 1947.
