During His time on earth Jesus taught His disciples the principles of the Kingdom of God. In the sermon on the mount a triplet of principles is presented; “when ye pray…”, “when ye give…” and “when ye fast…”

Jesus did not say if you fast, but when. He placed fasting alongside prayer and giving as a normal and expected part of Christian lifestyle.

Concerning Prayer with fasting Jesus taught:

“...whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy and sour and dreary like the hypocrites, for they put on a dismal countenance, that their fasting may be apparent to and seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full already. But when you fast, perfume your head and wash your face, So that your fasting may not be noticed by men but by your Father, Who sees in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.”
(Matthew 6:6–18 AMP)

Please do note that, if we fast rightly, there is a promised reward from heaven. Fasting comes with many benefits, which we shall discover as we dig into the wonderful Word of God in this study. Be prepared to be encouraged, and for expectancy to be born in your heart, as you read!

Covering the subject of fasting with prayer in detail David's book covers everything you need to know to successfully enter into a fast, and exercise your faith for great results.

Chapters include:
What is fasting?
Jesus Teaching and Example in Fasting.
Fasting in the early church.
Different kinds of fast.
The duration of a fast.
How to position your heart attitude during a fast.
The benefits of fasting (there are many).
Practical Guidelines for fasting.
and more...

In his usual easy to read and understand style Pastor David Lee Martin brings this subject alive with significance and faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fasting - We Don't Hear Much About It Anymore
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
It is so sad that so many people have no idea what fasting in - oh, they may have some inkling, but do not know how important it is. We are in spiritual warfare with principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high place. If every Christian were to make fasting part of their Christian life, I am convinced our country would be different. Fasting breaks down strongholds. David Miller's book on praying and fasting is an exhaustive study of the Scriptures related to fasting.

If you have always wondered about fasting or if you want to review the principles of fasting, get this book and read it. Put it into practice. Your spiritual life will change.

This is a basic introduction to fasting. The author lays out what fasting is and why it is important for the people of God need to fast, the benefits we receive and how we are to prepare to fast. This is an excellent source to assist you as you consider this spiritual discipline. I appreciate the fact that he also lists other books that are beneficial in your understanding of fasting.

David Miller has provided a very readable book on the topic of prayer and fasting. He starts off by explaining why prayer and fasting are such an important element in a believer's relationship with God, and then provides practical guidance on how to undertake a successful fast. I found the book to very helpful, and I'm sure that anyone who is exploring the merits of this discipline would benefit from reading it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Treatment Of Fasting And Prayer
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

I find it interesting that fasting has become popular in the secular world as a means of better health, whereas it had fallen out of favour in some of the mainstream churches.
This work is a worthwhile contribution to further discussion on this dichotomy

5.0 out of 5 stars A motivating and biblically sound exposition of prayer and fasting
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
I opened this book with a little trepidation not having approached scripture about fasting lately, however I found it to be biblically sound as I checked every reference. It is also down to earth as the author writes of his own experiences, successes and failures in fasting in a practical manner, and balanced as he reminds us that fasting is not to manipulate God or to satisfy our religiosity in the keeping of rules and regulations. David Lee Martin covers the following topics each with clear biblical basis, practical application and modern day examples: What is Fasting, Jesus Teaching and Example in Fasting, Fasting in the Early church, Different Kinds of Fast, Duration of a Fast, Attitude of Heart During a Fast, the Benefits of Fasting, Practical Guidelines of Fasting.
The most important take home message: Fasting is for everyone, is necessary, and can be undertaken by anyone ready to pray and wanting more of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction into the correct way to fast!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2013

If you want to know the correct way to fast, this is an easy introduction. There are plenty of scripture references to look at, especially on having the right motives, when you fast. I found the book very encouraging, as fasting has been lacking in my Christian walk (sad to say), and now I am looking forward to putting this into practice! For me, a very easy read, and 5/5 for the book and author.

I'm so glad I found this book as I am wanting to go deeper in my relationship with God and fasting is something I feel He is requiring me to do on a regular basis. I am adding this to my 'favourites' so I can refer to it at will. Thank you.
