I like this little book because the author speaks from his own experience and encourages us to live a "fasted life" rather than engaging in periodic fasts of great duration that can be dangerous to your health. Mr. Hagin begins with a brief overview of fasting in the Old and New Testaments showing who fasted and why they fasted. Then he explains the different types of fasts, the reasons why we should or shouldn't fast, and what we can expect to accomplish by fasting. Two prominent themes in the book are, "fasting doesn't change God, but it does help make us more sensitive to the Holy Spirit" and, "fasting without spending time with God doesn't do much good." This is good practical advice for all believers.
