From Publishers Weekly
Fasting, argues Hickey, is an integral Christian discipline that has been neglected in our time—particularly in the Protestant tradition. An evangelist with her own television show and magazine, Hickey hews close to the Bible and writes for a broad Christian audience. She communicates in a simple, direct style that respects the reader's intelligence, using a balanced blend of biblical narratives, personal insights and practical how-to advice (including a recipe for "cleansing soup" and suggestions on how best to break a fast). The 21-day program referred to in the subtitle actually only occupies one chapter—it's a testimonial to the success that her church in Colorado had with this three-week time of focused renewal. The bulk of the text explores the meaning and purpose of fasting and prayer (fasting is a physical discipline, while praying is a spiritual discipline) and then turns to a series of 12 reasons to fast and pray (i.e., to overcome evil, attain wholeness or effect revival) complete with tips for preparing and conducting a successful fast in each of these areas. Hickey's suggestions are concrete, but she urges individuals to fast only as they are led by the Spirit. It is an accessible and timely devotional for a materialistic and food-obsessed culture.

This review is from: The Power of Prayer and Fasting: 21 Days That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)
As I have said in the title, this is the best book on Prayer and Fasting. And I have read and studied many books on the subject. This book answered all my questions and explained things in a way that the other books could not. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Christian discipline of Prayer and Fasting.

Wonderful fasting with prayer book,
By
This review is from: The Power of Prayer and Fasting: 21 Days That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)
This is a great book that does in fact combine fasting with prayer. The author tells us when to fast, ways to fast and good prayers to use with our different issues. There is a wealth of information in this book taken straight out of the Bible that helps us with our fasting questions. I would recommend any Christian to read this.
