Summary: I've seen better.
Review: This book had good intent, but not enough reality. Prayer and fasting are important parts of Christianity, but there are better ways to do it. The author is pompous, and has a "you should do this, because I do it and I am a better Christian than you" attitude. There are many other books out there about prayer or fasting or both, and they are much less ostentatious. (To paraphrase a quote from Anne Lamott: The only difference between God and this author, is that God never thinks He's this author.)

Review: This book is excellent for explaining the necessity of prayer and fasting in our daily spiritual lives. It demonstrates how fasting goes hand in hand with prayer and how we, as a nation, really neglect fasting. This book is definately a must for your library if you are interested in learning more about prayer and fasting.

Summary: Jesus did both, why don't we?
Review: This simple, yet profound work by Dr. Fletcher offers the clearest and concise argument as to what is missing in our walk with the Lord. Dr. Fletcher has PhD and a ThD degrees, so he was quite capable of writing a deep and lofty exegisis on the subject. Yet instead he chose to allow God to reveal Himself in simplicity through his writing by allowing a couple of personal experiences with prayer and fasting, as well as the scriptures, speak for themselves on the subject. After reading this book, the truly serious Christian will have no excuse for not praying and fasting. After all, Jesus did both, why don't we?
