**"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God." Matthew 5:6** *The Message*??We live in hungry times. Ours is a consumer culture, predisposed to quickly fill the cravings of body and mind. The idea of fasting - the voluntary denial of something for a specific time, for a spiritual purpose-sets us immediately on edge. But Lynne Baab makes the case that anyone can fast.??Fasting is an expression of freedom. Free from the patterns and habits that mark everyday life, from time to time we can move beyond our appetites into meaningful encounter with God.??In *Fasting* you'll discover an ancient Christian practice that extends beyond giving up food to any regular activity in our contemporary lives. You'll see how taking a break from eating - or driving, or checking e-mail, or watching television - opens us up to discover new things about ourselves and God and the world around us. You'll see that while not everyone should forgo food, anyone can step out of routine to feed the soul.??In a time of great spiritual hunger, God invites us all to a feast: fellowship with the Creator of the universe, where all our truest needs are identified and attended to.

I was so thankful I bought this book. It confirmed what I had previously learnt about fasting and brought added revelation. An easy read. Motivated my own fast which resulted in blessing and victory. A must for every Christian to bring Jesus his reward.

Excellent fasting book
Reviewing Biblical fasts from the Old & New Testaments, this easy to read book sets out the motivations behind the fasts and the breakthroughs that happened as a result. It also applies those principles to our own lives, and gives practical examples of breakthroughs Jentezen has seen first hand in his own, heavily fasting-based ministry. It started off my own personal journey of fasting, and I have not looked back since. Being such a great read, it is also very inspiring & encouraging to review when one is fasting.
