The Daniel's Fast Cookbook is an outstanding contribution to a healthy lifestyle. Whether a person wants to use the tasty recipes for religious purposes, a Vegan lifestyle, to control weight, or to insure protection from harmful ingredients in foods, this book will fill their individual needs. My husband and I were in the health club business for 30 years (before it became popular!), and we see the tremendous nutritional value of recipes in this book. Sometimes, it takes real talent to make "healthy" foods taste great...and Grace Bass and Lynda Anderson have done just that.

The Spicy Veggie Sticks is one of my favorite recipes. I use the Spicy House Seasoning found in this recipe on almost everything I eat! And, because the authors included information about necessary cooking tools, I found a tool that makes cutting these sticks a breeze. It's a Progressive Vegetable Cutter, available at Linen's `N Things. I also bought the Vidalia Chop Wizard they recommend at CVS. I must confess that I don't like to cook, but the tips and recipes in this book have certainly given me inspiration.

There has never been a cookbook like the Daniel's Fast Cookbook! If you are a vegan, or just want to have a heart healthy diet, then this is the cookbook for you. I have personally sampled many of these recipes and they are quite delicious and easy to prepare. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone wanting to explore a healthier lifestyle. Having high blood pressure and heart problems myself, my wife has struggled with having to make substitutions in traditional recipes. With the Daniel's Fast Cookbook, she can follow the recipes exactly and know that she is preparing "Heart Healthy" dishes. Thank you Lynda Anderson and Grace Bass.

I purchased this cookbook because I didn't think I could stay on this fast during the lenten period. I am doing extremely well due to the wonderful recipes in the cookbook and, as a healthy bonus, have lost 16 lbs to date. I now believe I will continue the fast with minor modifications after the Lenten period.

I have been doing the Daniel Fast once a year for 3 years now. I have purchased 3 books just to get different ideas for reciepts. When your diet is so limited it can often be difficult to come up with new idea's. I found several great receipts in this book. Out of the 3 books I now have this was the first one I purchased and still the one I use the most often. It may not be as fancy as some of the other books available (pages not in color) but the meals I have made from it have tasted the best. I have recommened this book many times if you are doing the Daniel Fast.

Lynda takes her special catering talent and shares it with others in this cookbook! She has always prepared meals for ones in our neighborhood who need a "special pick me up". I just gave this as a gift to my Weight Watcher's friends and they LOVE IT!

We've been searching for this cookbook since 2003. What encourages us most about Grace and Lynda's Daniel's Fast Cookbook is that it is endorsed by Elmer Towns, who created the Daniel Fast for Spiritual Breakthrough in his book Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough.

"I believe in Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough, this is a discipline that God has given to the church for renewal, revival, and worship of the Lord. I am so glad that Grace Bass and Lynda Anderson have written this cookbook on The Daniel Fast. I pray that God will use it in the lives of many people."

Their cookbook contains more than 100 healthy, tasty and easy to prepare Daniel's Diet recipes. It also includes helpful nutritional information, practical advice for fasting as a church, list of restaurants that have foods we can enjoy on their menu, list of recommended stores we can trust and products we can enjoy. Grace and Lynda also included a section about food options depending on our own personal spiritual convictions. This is an excellent cookbook for Christians considering a Vegan Diet. Thank you Grace and Lynda!

This is a good source for someone just starting the Daniel Fast or a vegan diet. I found the recipes easy to prepare and extremely tasteful. I especially loved the vegetarian chili and the pablano stew. I made one bread recipe and it was terrible. I am a pretty good cook so I am not sure if it was my ingredients, the recipe, or my ability to follow the instruction. Since Daniel did only a 10 day fast the book only has a few recipes. I would have liked to see a few more. However, I recommend this book.

This cookbook is something that is needed as more people participate in the Daniel Fast. I recommend it, but you may have to check with your Pastor on some of the items in the book before cooking them. My church is not allowed to eat any pasta whatsoever during the fast. The book gave me good ideas for things to try during the 2010 fast. Greak book.

This is more than just another cookbook with recipes that are compatable with a Daniel's fast. There is a heart felt sense of prayer that has gone into the compilation of each and every recipe that is in this book. As you read through the information, directions, suggestions, and recipes, you feel as if you have Grace Bass and Lynda Anderson there with you encouraging you as you make and enjoy the meals. The recipes turn an average meal into a gourmet experience. Even with limited cooking skills you will be able to create fantastic and nourishing meals that will have your family and friends coming back for more. If you will follow the directions of this inspirational book, you will find yourself not only thinking about your physical well being, but your spiritual well being as well.

We used this cookbook while doing the Daniel fast, and found it to be a great source of really good recipes . The complaints about the mediocre quality of the pictures are accurate, but hey, come on people, the recipes are good and the instructions are accurate and helpful; do you really need the pictures in order to follow the recipes;-) ? I would recommend the book to anyone trying the Daniel fast.
