Review

"It has been one of my great privileges to know an walk with Mahesh Chavda for more than 20 years. His ministry and teachings come from the trenches of experience. This book is more than just another good manual on the 'theology of prayer and fasting'; you have in your hands a stick of dynamite loaded with spiritual power and impartation that comes from one of the modern-day pioneers who has walked what he talks. Your hunger for God will grow and your appetite for this world will diminish when you devour this book. Fasting will become a delight and not just a sacrifice!" -- Jim W. Goll, Ministry to the Nations, Author, The Lost Art of Intercession

"Mahesh Chavda has experienced God's grace to fast in a way that has borne much fruit. He is a man of deep passion for Jesus, and this love has been his motivation to pursue the deep places in God's heart. Mahesh has profound personal experience in this area. His understanding will be an inspiration to many. I recommend this book." --Mike Bickle, Senior Pastor, Metro Christian Fellowship

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful!, June 11, 2005

By 

Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting (Paperback)

Some people talk about it and some people do it. This saying goes double for Mahesh Chavda. He practiced the art of Biblical prayer and fasting for over twenty years before he ever started teaching it. And this practice has born fruit in his life.

From the improved medical condition of an autistic boy when Chavda was a social worker to miraculous healings and transformed lives by the thousands-his personal experience demonstrates that prayer and fasting works: that God brings into partnership with Him those who join Him in this way.

Chavda teaches that the Bible is clear that the overcoming believer is one who both prays and fasts - yet fasting on anything resembling a regular basis has all but disappeared from most groups of believers. Chavda believes prayer and fasting is a lifestyle God dearly wants for all believers, and that it is one that God blesses. Those blessings do not necessarily flow to the person practicing prayer and fasting (God does not have a frequent prayer and fasting rewards program!), but rather unleashes God's blessings on those for whom we pray and fast.

This book is filled not only with dozens of real-life examples of the results of prayer and fasting, but also serves as a very practical guide of how to do it. This book is not a casual read. The reader will be challenged to look into the mirror of God's word and examine their own accountability for participating in this heavenly calling.

But for those who want to be inspired to live on a different level and want to appropriate God's power to change their lives, their cities, and their nations - this book is an excellent choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 STARS......MUST READ!!!!, January 18, 2006

This review is from: The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting (Paperback)

I read this book and went on a fast for a week. I wrote down what I was fasting for and Prayed over the list. You would not believe the results!!! I am making it a habit to go on a Fast at least once a month and when the Lord leads. This book is a must read, because he tells you what he experienced because of Fasting. If you are like me, you want to know the truth and he tells the truth and uses scripture to back it up. If you want to go higher in God, purchase this book and start studying the scriptures on Fasting. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Material on Fasting!, October 13, 1999

This review is from: The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting (Paperback)

I have read alot of books on fasting from a theology view, but they lack practical hands knowledge. Mahesh gives a hands on approach to fasting like never before written in the Christian realm. Very balanced Biblical and strong in purpose this book has truly changed my life and view on fasting. Heaven is taking note of this book. If you feel called to the ministy and don't know or understand alot about fasting this is a must.
