Fasting as an exercise to self humbling. I recommend you to read the other book by the same author, for this is the lite version and more on theological side.

Not anything new.

[C K · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a simple, small, easy to read booklet on fasting. The first section gives the Biblical background to why fasting is needed. The second section gives the reader practical information on how to prepare yourself for fasting, some precautions and scientific facts. It makes choosing to fast on a regular basis easy. I do a daily 18-hr fast, skipping breakfast, and a weekly 24-hr fast from Friday night to Saturday night.

Awesome book all people need to read NOW

This book by Derek Prince points to many scriptures that spell out the spiritual need and the Godly benefits of fasting, and tells His people why we need to fast and pray in unison and He will heal our land and help us, and we need it now more than ever.

God's word is powerful

Derek Prince reminds Christians of the call to prayer and fasting. This is a message desperately needed today! I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to deepen their walk with the Lord, for church leaders, pastors and elders seeking a deeper movement of God.

Not a popular message in faith circles but does not make it any less compelling
IF for longevity health weight loss has repopularised what The Book prescribes for millennia, but instead the chief purpose is to humble ourselves; health weight control etc are fringe benefits

A Must Read

This book is a must read for us as Christians to understand the purpose of fasting. It is my go to book as a reminder of God's purpose and the importance of fasting as a Christian.

Fasting and honest repentance and prayer

Fasting and honest repentance and prayer are the best way to get closer to God. This book gives the clear cut instructions from the verses in the bible as to how to pray and fast and the reasons why.

[Dipuo Shelter · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is so impactful and Biblical. Fasting is essential in a believers life. It is a quick read but full of key points that are supported by scripture, this book will remind you to renounce the natural in order to invoke the supernatural and the key to this is through fasting.

Not detailed

Basic information. I expected more. But simple and easily understood. It is also a very short rear. I will not recommend. It's for young converts.

[Michelle Bass · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you want to learn how to fast and why to fast? This book is for you. God commands his people to Pray and fast. I was not disappointed with this book.

[Honeybee · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

[Beth Jackson- king · Rating 5 out of 5]
