Great Book. Loved illustrations of how this process affected their lives. How to information is great! Would love a little more information on what is allowed, but overall, is a fantastic book!

"The Daniel Fast For Spiritual Breakthrough" by Elmer Towns is a delightful read for anyone wishing to pursue the Christian discipline of fasting.

Fasting may be defined as deliberately abstaining from something for a period of time in order to draw closer to God and to know Him more intimately. The person may fast from: television (not limited to food), a particular kind of food (dessert, for example), sport, hobby, or anything else.

Among the topics covered include:

1. Different kinds of fast.
2. Primary focus of a Daniel fast.
3. Preparing for a fast (how long, what to abstain from, etc.).
4. Definition of fasting.
5. A 21-day reading plan you may use during a fast.

The book is informative and will challenge and encourage you to consider a fast as a means for drawing closer to the Lord. I have periodically fasted during my 20+ years of walking with Christ and can attest to its power. I recently had a 3-day fast from lunch, radio, and television and benefitted spiritually.

Sometime ago I took a seminary class with Dr. Towns at Liberty University and thoroughly enjoyed the class. The book reads just as he teaches - entertaining, spiritually insightful, humble, and challenging.

Highly recommended.

This is a very good for day to day fasting. It is very east to
understand & the devotions & recipes are very helpful.

This book truly help shed light on why and how to fast. I've been on fast before and did not experience the same as I did because I was fasting for the wrong reasons. This book walks with you daily. Weather you are doing a 10 day or 21 day. Very insightful and bibilical.

I had heard this was good and had been wanting to read it. Now I am glad I did! It was very informative, well-written and inspirational and motivational. I am already
sharing about it with others!

This book is very insightful on how and why to fast. I was truly blessed by every page in this book!

I did not purchase this book, read below why.

I decided to look inside the book and on page 16 it states and i quote, "Today, as Christians we live under grace, so we are no longer required to fast."

However the "New Covenant" states:(New Covenant is the correct term, not testament)

1 Cor 7:5 (KJV) Defraud ye not the one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
