The shortest explanation of fasting I've ever read. REALLY good examples from scripture. I highly recommend.

If you are looking for something shorter and references to lots of scripture on fasting, Derek Prince's book is the way to go! You could easily read this booklet in an hour.

(If you want a really meaty discussion with lots of personal examples, check out Mahesh Chavda's book "The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting" If you are seeking to draw closer to Christ's heart, I highly recommend reading Bob Sorge's "Secrets of the Secret Place")

Fasting is incredible. I am so shocked at how often fasting is discussed in scripture. It is like adding a thermonuclear warhead to your prayers. It humbles you and draws you closer to Christ's heart!

Derek shows that God requires that we HUMBLE ourselves before Him; God also makes it clear that He gives grace or blessings (unmerited favor) to the HUMBLE. Can you use a blessing from the Lord?

If you wanted to cultivate true humility but did not know how, this is the book for you. Succinct, Scripture-based, practical and powerful, this book is fast-paced and very brief. It has given me the clearest and most convincing reason to fast.

This is an excellent book. Easy to read. A must read for anyone who wants a life changing experience.

This a great book on fasting. Derek Prince does a great job explaining what fasting really is, how it changes us and even can have a national & international impact, and the primary purpose for it. One of the things the Author stresses is that true fasting will humble you. He gives many Old & New Testament example of fasting. Measureless power can be released through prayer and fasting. It is important to pray and fast because without praying you are only on a diet. Overall, just as Jesus said "some things only come by prayer and fasting".

More of a booklet than a full-length book, this is a terrific little primer on the discipline of fasting and prayer. Referencing examples of Bible heroes--including Daniel, Jesus and Moses--Derek Prince explains the principles of fasting. He also gives practical advice on how to begin and end a fast.

If you or your church is considering a fast for any reason, this is a good resource. It is a quick, easy read, but helpful in understanding what fasting is all about.

I do fast regularly, and this book was so sub par to what is out there by Alan Cott, and others.
