The Fasting Key: How You Can Unlock Doors to Spiritual Blessing

by Mark Nysewander

When the author began to study the subject of fasting some years ago he was shocked by the number of biblical references he found referring to it. Clearly fasting was not some biblical "side issue", but a central element of spiritual life. Fasting is a discipline that has been practiced by many influential men and women of God throughout church history with dramatic results. The author says, "Fasting has become an essential part of my walk with the Lord. It continues to amaze me that I lived for so long without this key that unlocks so many blessings." Using the metaphor of a key, this book discusses how Fasting will unlock the following blessings of God: - The Door to Revelation - The Door to Healing - The Door to Holiness - The Door to Protection - The Door to Answers - The Door to Presence - The Door to Deliverance - The Door to Guidance - The Door to Provision

As I continue to feed myself on others' thoughts regarding the fruitfulness of fasting, I find the testimony of the few pressing me to continue engaging in this "lost practice." Nysewander is one of those few.

The best book on fasting I have read. It's short, lively, very readable, and yet profound. Mark Nysewander attacks many misconceptions and pitfalls connected to fasting, and gives a deeply biblical perspective on the theology and practice. I was inspired and deeply helped by it!

This book was not perfect, the benefits are great! It is well worth reading if you truly want to learn to seek God; He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!
