Customer Reviews

Amazingly written

I love that this book was so easy to understand. I've read it a few times and I've given it out because I believe in what it says because I applied it to my life and I started to see/feel changes.

Absolutely needed for all Believers

I am so BLESSED to have this book! So many questions answered, so many new insights to the big Why of fasting! Absolutely recommend for all who are seeking a deeper and now intimate relationship with our beloved Creator!

Excellent, Encouraging Information

I have read many books on fasting and prayer, but this book is by far the most comprehensive and informative of them all. Brother Franklin writes as he teaches: with insight, with practicality and with simplicity. He writes from his own experience with fasting and his own in-depth study of God's word. I believe that God has chosen him to help restore the discipline of fasting to the church today.

Compelling Reasons for Christians to Fast

Fasting as a spiritual discipline had always seemed like a good idea, but I had felt it was impossible for me. I began viewing the author's telecasts, and found him to be a very solid theologian. After hearing about fasting at Freedom Chapel in 2007, I decided in 2008 to try it. I bought "Fasting" and read it, as I continued to view Franklin's telecasts, and found the book and his message very "palatable". Reading the book convinced me that I could fast, and I am now in my 5th week of a fast which will continue to the end of Lent. Hallelujah!

Complete and practical guide to fasting

Enjoyed this book so very much! It encouraged me so much to just step out in faith. I did the 3 day fast with only drinking water. I kept my focus on prayer and not food. I recommend the book!
