Product Description

Fasting
By Jentezen Franklin

In one of the best available books on the topic, Franklin explains the spiritual power of fasting and offers a deeper understanding of God's plan for fasting and the benefits available to those who participate. Those who seek God through fasting can expect tremendous rewards both for their personal lives and the church. They will see breakthroughs in many areas, such as healing, finances, bondages broken, and children set free.

Jesus Himself fasted because He knew some supernatural realities could not be released in any other way. For that reason alone, Christians should make fasting a common practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biblical Fasting as a Lifestyle, January 3, 2008

By	Seven Words "Seven Words" (Gainesville, GA United States) - See all my reviews

I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to get this book. Jentezen Franklin has taken biblical truths about Fasting and broken them down in a way that anyone and everyone can relate to. You will also read about others who have fasted and the supernatural miracles and blessings that came as a result of their fasting and prayer. After reading this book, you will see fasting in a whole new light and be challenged and feel strongly encouraged to make it a part of your lifestyle rather than just a annual or rare practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars FASTING, February 5, 2008

By	K. Manion - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is an awesome book. The principal of fasting has not been focused on like we as Christians need it to. I'm thankful for Bro. Franklin and others like him that give us insight on its worth and how America is in desperate need for us to practice fasting. I highly recommend this book to anyone curious enough to disclipine themselves to reading it. It will definitely get your spiritual attention.

By	Shelly Stephenson (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After watching Jentezen Franklin on television talking about his church's 21 day fast and and how God responds to your needs & prayers faster, I was all the more intrigued to buy this book as soon as posible. I just happened to be on a fast when I heard him speak about his book on fasting and knew it had all the answers I needed to encourage me with my commitment to God. All I can say is WOW, AWESOME, INSIGHTFULL, EYE OPENING! This book is a must buy for those who want to be extreme enough to seek God with sacrifice and look forward to great changes in your life!
