Here are a few ideas and or quotes from the book.

No wonder the devil wants to keep fasting a secret, because God promises to watch your back. Isaiah 52:12

Fasting in and of itself is a continual prayer to God

Satan will try to convince you that you will die without food, you won’t. God is preparing to breathe life in to your situation to open a door to His promises.

When are we going to take dominion back from king stomach and seek after the kingdom of God?

When you fast it is a hunger strike against hell.

In the wilderness Jesus was tempted by the same cunning voice that Eve heard in the Garden. We still hear that same voice today.

This is one of the most exciting books I have read so far on the topic of fasting. Jentezen has a love for God and he leads his church to fast the first 21 days of each year in the 21 day Daniel Fast. I would like to prepare my folks to do the same in 2011.

It is a great book, packed full of biblical truth about the forgotten spiritual discipline of fasting. Everyone should read this book.
