Worth a read even if you fast
This books covers issues on why do we fast? When to fast? What to do whilst fasting etc.
It is a good book and I do recommend it because even if you fast regularly, it is good to recognise the principles behind fasting and why Christians need to fast.

Rather than a guidance, this book is more useful as a compilation of verses about fasting and its importance in christian life. It inspires the reader to fast.
But you can only find a handful of advices on 'how to', instead some good insights. Maybe because there is not much to tell on subject or fasting does not a have methodical nature.

Книжечка на 1 годину з дуже вичерпним, цілісним і практичним поглядом на піст. Духовна і фізична сторони посту і молитви. MustRead або MustListen для християнина. В ідеалі варто перечитати її саме під час посту.

This is a fantastic little book on how to fast for the Lord. Fasting is one of those things that confused me and this book cleared up a lot of things for me. It's well worth a read. It will only take you 20 to 30 minutes to finish it, but contains a wealth of knowledge.

Useful and insightful quick read with the key to successful fasting. As a Christian of almost 5 years now, this was useful and gave me a better understanding of what it means to complete a full fast, Daniel fast, and a partial fast.

Clear and specific
This is an easy read and will benefit new believers as well as mature believers. Fasting is a discipline that we should be applying in our lives.

Having not fasted for very long periods in many years, I found this a very helpful and insightful book, full of scripture and encouragement to back up your fasting.

What is a fast? Are there more than one type of fast? Why should we fast? How do I start and end a fast? These and many other questions are addressed in this compact, but comprehensive guide to fasting. More in-depth than his book, FASTING, Derek Prince's book, HOW TO FAST SUCCESSFULLY, goes beyond mere introduction into the biblical and practical nuts-and-bolts of this powerful spiritual discipline.
Along with the aforementioned booklet and his other volume, SHAPING HISTORY THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING, this book is an important addition to any minister or intercessor's library. If you know someone considering a fast for any reason, make sure they get a copy of this book first.
