This book and JESUS CHRIST has really convicted me about the way I eat, fasting, praying for family and people out in the world. I still make some bad decisions and I'm still working on understanding how God wants me to fast at times; however this book is an excellent source of knowledge, good ol' fashioned preaching and teaching - spreading the word of God is the best way; the author having the patience and time involved in properly studying and rightly dividing the Word of Truth! I'm definitely going to need to go through another read-through! Like my pastor and his wife suggested to me I would read the book before trying to fast for the first time, or once again. It's a short read with a LOT of power - speaking the WORD of the LORD, JESUS! Thank the Lord for people who have done it before me,because without them, I likely wouldn't be alive, BUT God is sufficient! Glorious, Graceful, Wonderful Counselor! All praise goes to JESUS, amen!
