Everyone who desires a deeper, more intimate, more powerful relationship with God!
Awesome book! Very informative and well-written! I have already begun to make fasting a regular part of my spiritual life and plan to join the 21-day fast at the beginning of 2012! =)

Oh dear. From the subtitle, and from the reviews of other readers, I hoped for so much more. But this introduction to the neglected discipline of fasting was so disappointing, so shallow.
The fine print on the pages following the title page reveals Franklin's true opinions. "Previously published...as Fasting: The Private Discipline That Brings Public Reward (copyright 2004) and Fasting: Opening a Door to God's Promises (copyright 2006)." Stripped of its new cover (figurative...more

I have fasted before... 7 day fasts to clean out my system, 3 day fasts to seek an answer to a pressing problem... but I have never fasted for 21 days or 40 days. It was nice to read the biblical teachings on fasting (though I must confess they were dealt with somewhat superficially and I would like to further study this out on my own). It was also inspiring to hear the testimonies of people who had committed to the 21 day (or longer) fast.
This is definitely a good read based on so...more

Oh my! Here's a clear guildline on fasting, why you should, why you should not...a must read for every one. Go get it. Better yet: Amazon.com. Love that convenience.
This book on fasting is the greatest and deepest book I read. Jentzeen Franklin the author of several books is the senior pastor that pastors at Free Chapel located in Gainsville GA. There are many biblical truths with inspiring testimonies that is in the book. Also the author teaches and encourages believer in Christ to go behind feeling, and fast with purpose. He also says that fasting is not only about abstaining from food, but it is about the spiritual connection that you have with God. Addi...more
This is an outstanding book on fasting. This book really encouraged me when I was on a fast. It is full of practical ideas of what to do when fasting as well as testimonies of people beleiving God to move on their or their family's behalf for breakthroughs that they did receive as a result of fasting and prayer. If you have never fasted or if you have fasted for years, GET THIS BOOK!! This is a MUST READ!!!!
This book is FANTASTIC, Jentezen talks about how fasting makes you stronger with God. The things that surprize me about this book is that when people fast it makes them healty, remove poverty, and also diseases. When I first read this book, Jentezen answer all of my questions about fasting IT WAS LIKE HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME!!! Now im going to start to fast more because it makes you become closer to God.
This is a great book for anyone who wants to take their relationship with God to the next level. It's a short, easy read that teaches fasting is not just for "fanatics"... it's for everyone. After this book, I stopped fasting in response to problems. I scheduled it as part of my week... every week.
I'm reading this book in preparation for the 21 day Daniel fast our church is starting on Jan 5, 2009. Even though I was raised to fast and did the Daniel fast last year, this book is helping me to keep things in perspective and teaching me to glean the most from my fasts for spiritual growth.
AMAZING book! This is the best spiritually uplifting and empowering book I've read since "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. If you've ever wondered about fasting, the reasons behind it, and what it can do then this book is a must read. For those who want to get a new experience from God in their lives, the principles about fasting in this book (and fasting itself) can totally change your life!
I devoured this book! What a blessing it has been to read on this important subject and be motivated to do as God desires. I highly recommend it for Christians who are seeking guidance on the discipline of fasting in the life of the believer.
I think I can understand the concept of fasting as dying to self and demonstrating faith that God will provide what I need, so I should focus on other things more than the physical. My beef (mmmm) with the book would be that there are many examples of miracles experienced because of fasting, and although I have no reason to doubt them, the reader may think that fasting will lead immediately to riches and health, when that is not really the point. The author points out that in Matt. 6, Jesus talk...more
If you are considering fasting, it's an okay read. I don't think I even finished it because I just wasn't interested at the time. I've fasted before reading this, so maybe that's why I didn't care for his point of view regarding fasting.
An excellent teaching on Fasting. This is a powerful tool God has given us to learn how to be in control of our bodies, to grow in our relationship with Him and to be blessed by Him. It inspired me to try fasting!
REALLY good book if you're looking for some insight on fasting. I have fasted for years but learned A TON from this book. It's not huge either so it's not overwhelming.
I wanted to know a little bit about why people fasted...I got a lot more than I asked for. This book and the events that followed changed my life!
I loved this book! A great read for anyone wanting a closer walk with the Lord and more intimate relationship with Him through prayer.
If your looking for encouragement and more understanding of the biblical principals of fasting I would recommend this book. It got straight to the point and easy to understand, w/o all the theological refrences or docterine to clutter, it was just straight scripture showing how we need to fast and created a deeper desire/hunger to fast in my own life.
This was a great book! full of insight! Fasting is a great way to get closer to God! Draw near to God and He will Draw Near to You.
Read this with my daughters; simply written but powerful; great insight about fasting for the next generation.
The study guide was used in my church class. He is an awesome writer with a wonderful way of explaining how fasting works.
I was extremely disappointed in this book. I got more information on the internet about biblical fasting than from this book.
This book was very motivating and encouraged me to complete my first 21_day Daniel fast. God is AWESOME!!! :)
Good basic overview on fasting. However, would have preferred deeper extrapolation from scripture. Will be reading Mike Bickle's book next.
Great, Great, Great book on fasting.....my only regret I didn't have the Fasting Journal when I read
Not as well written as another, but still gets you fired up to fast....did I just say that?
Best book on fasting that I have ever read. It is powerful and has truly changed my life.
Ladies' Book Club Selection. Lots to think about. Missed book club discussion (ALA).
This book has helped greatly with my 21-day fasting. Very inspirational.
I found this book at Costco of all places, and I read it during Lent. Fasting is a discipline that I have been drawn to lately, and I wanted to understand more about it.
The author lists several biblical examples of fasting and what God did as a result.
He also explains different kinds of fasts, such as a Daniel fast, a juice fast, and a water only fast. There are fasts ranging from 1 day to 40.
