God’s Chosen Fast Or What Shall We Do: For Our Poorer Brethren In The Wynds And Closes is a book written by James Peddie and originally published in 1860. The book focuses on the issue of poverty in the Wynds and Closes, which were poor areas in Edinburgh, Scotland during the 19th century. Peddie argues that it is the duty of Christians to help those in need, and he suggests that one way to do this is through fasting. He believes that by giving up food or other luxuries, Christians can redirect their resources towards helping the poor. The book provides practical advice on how to fast, including what foods to avoid and how to prepare for a fast. Peddie also offers suggestions for how to use the money saved from fasting to help the poor, such as donating to charity or providing food and clothing directly to those in need. Throughout the book, Peddie emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy towards those less fortunate, and he encourages readers to take action to alleviate poverty in their communities.Overall, God’s Chosen Fast Or What Shall We Do: For Our Poorer Brethren In The Wynds And Closes is a call to action for Christians to take responsibility for helping those in need. It offers practical advice and a moral framework for addressing poverty, and it remains relevant today as a reminder of the ongoing need to care for the less fortunate in our communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
