Book Review: Fasting by Jentezen Franklin April 23, 2008
Fasting
By Jentezen Franklin
This is probably one of the best books i’ve ever read! I love how Jentezen writes. He tangles his message and scripture together so beautifully. It’s not a book where there’s a bit of the Word and a lot of personal input. It’s a beautiful combination of both!
I could not convey to you how much i have learned from this book the first go round. I will be reading it again and again. As i’m sure there is so much more that needs to penetrate my heart. This is the book that lead me to the fast i did on Monday.
Jentenzen share about what the Lord had and the bible tells up about fasting- why & when it was done. He talks about the hard stuff like- “King Stomach” and Satan. Then he explains how this one action leads us deeper into a personal relationship with the Lord. Because of that deeper relationship we prepare ourselves to be more effective for Him and more sensitive to the Lord’s desires.
Awesome Read! Once you pick it up it’s hard to put it down. I think i have half the book highlighted already! If you’ve got the time you will be blessed and your eyes opened to this new thought. I personally never knew much of anything about fasting. I know people do it but i never understood really why. Although at this moment in my life things are changing faster than i can keep up with and i knew that this needed to be part of my personal preparation for the Lord to have me fully surrendered- mind, body, and soul.
Hello,
I just wanted you to know that I read your book Fasting and truly do believe in every miracle shared. I was fasting for three days when the Lord spoke to me and told me to go on a series of 3 three day fasts. I was praying but needed to understand the purpose of my fasts. I left the Word of Deliverance Bookstore Wednesday after church and there was your book in my view. The word “Fasting” was as bright as a neon sign. Today is the final day of the third fast. I prayed for the significance in the series of fasts and learned that it was in preparation for the 21 and 40 day fast that I will go on this summer and fall. Your book has opened the door to a higher understanding and significance of fasting in my life. I will keep you posted as I believe our Heavenly Father for the peace, strength and wisdom of his Holy Word. I will be participating in the 21 day fast in January from this day forward. I have a higher expectation and know that the Lord led me to your book, which has changed my life forever.
Gods Blessing,
Helen Hyde
