Fasting Volume 2: Opening a Door to God's Promises

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!

I have read many books on fasting and prayer, but this book is by far the most comprehensive and informative of them all. Brother Franklin writes as he teaches: with insight, with practicality and with simplicity. He writes from his own experience with fasting and his own in-depth study of God's word. I believe that God has chosen him to help restore the discipline of fasting to the church today.

Fasting as a spiritual discipline had always seemed like a good idea, but I had felt it was impossible for me. I began viewing the author's telecasts, and found him to be a very solid theologian. After hearing about fasting at Freedom Chapel in 2007, I decided in 2008 to try it. I bought "Fasting" and read it, as I continued to view Franklin's telecasts, and found the book and his message very "palatable". Reading the book convinced me that I could fast, and I am now in my 5th week of a fast which will continue to the end of Lent. Hallelujah!

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.
