The Daniel Fast (with Bonus Content): Feed Your Soul, Strengthen Your Spirit, and Renew Your Body

This is an awesome book. I highly recommend you purchase this book if you intend to do the Daniel Fast. It has great insight and guidance, answering many questions and providing references. It has lots of good recipes, and a 21 day devotional to help you on your way. As the book says, sometimes you are starving and the only way to be fed is to fast. I had a great experience on my 21 day fast. I feel stronger and closer to God, and my body is healthier, too. I recommend cutting out any caffeine a few days before, since you won't be able to take any headache medicines for withdrawal or headaches. I dreaded giving up milk and meat, but I found it wasn't as difficult with God there. Definitely a must do experience. I will definitely be doing the fast again.

I did appreciate the foundation this book was written under. For me it was a bit "wordy" in that I needed the author to cut to the chase, however understand that for a person who does not know their faith or scripture her back story would serve an important role.I enjoyed the daily readings and guide in the fast and the helpful menu guide and recipes. I have changed the way I eat and look at food. This has helped me in my journey with God by leaning on God for strength in the simplest yet deeply important part of my life. We all need to look at what we put into our bodies and why. This is a great, great book for that insight. I will continue to eat in a much healthier way, I consider where my food comes from and how important it is to keep my "temple" holy.

This is the third time that I have gone through this book and completed the Daniel Fast. Every time is as if I've read it for the very first time, and each journey whilst on the Daniel Fast has brought new revelation of who God is and who I am in Him. God' word is laced throughout and that is (I believe) what gives this book life, breathing new truth each time. The bonus but not the focus is weight loss during the time of fasting. I recommend this book to anyone who is keen for a deeper encounter with the Father.

I am morw than half way through the Daniel Fast. My biggest problem is making time to read the devotions or Bible, which means I am not making time for God. The book has helped me think and talk more to God. They stress, this is not about the Fast, but about getting closer to God . The hardest part of the fast is my headaches, but I am staying away from sweets, coffee, liquor/wine, dairy, meats and process food. I am also using the Daniel Fast web site to help me along. I can see me reading this again, and again when I do the fast. Susan Gregory recommends 21 day fast, although it could be 10.

More than we may readily admit to, our physical condition impacts our spiritual and emotional health. The Daniel Fast is a tool which leads the reader to a thoughtful and well-planned blend of body-to-spirit awareness designed with a spiritual purpose in mind. Scripture references highlight different spiritual disciplines that require adhering to and purposed endeavor. One of these, the discipline of fasting, is often mentioned. Depending on one's background, the person may have participated in fasting or they may not have. If not, this is a whole new opportunity to facilitate growth in the inner person through denying self of certain foods and drinks. Susan Gregory offers this book as a guide for a form of partial "fasting," a fast that allows the foods eaten by Daniel and the three Hebrew boys during their initial period of Babylonian captivity. For spiritual reasons, these young men refused to eat the King's food and drink. Instead, they drank water and ate pulse, any seed-bearing food (vegetables, fruits, and grains). They fared very well. As Gregory explains, a true "fast" is a relationship of denying food or drink for the purpose of a spiritual goal. The Daniel Fast incorporates devotionals, biblical background, a food list, and recipes. It is easy to read but serious in intent. My church ladies have participated in the Daniel Fast two times and are eager to do it again. They also purchased the workbook which works well as a compliment study. This is an excellent group activity. We saw much improvement in our physical health during the fast and also noticed a sharpness in our spiritual side as we completed the study. All the women on the fast felt more energy, clearer mind alertness, and felt a greater sense sense of well-being during The Daniel Fast. They are determined to continue eating healthier by choosing to prepare and eat health building foods as part of their daily diets. This is an exceptional opportunity to get a handle on the negative influences of processed foods and sugars on our bodies. It truly is an amazing month-long, revitalizing make-over. It works best when done with a partner or group. There was so much joy and excitement in the group. The ladies were excited about feeling better, losing a few pounds, and gaining spiritual insights, with much more buy-in by the participants than I have ever experienced before in leading women's studies. . .which is saying a lot.

I will start off by saying "OUTSTANDING". I thought I was on the Daniel fast in the past, only to find out through this experience which includes, daily devotionals, menu options, clear and direct instructions concerning food labels and so on. I was not truly on the fast, as I did not know all of what I have learned and still learning whole on the fast. You will not fail, I hope you will consider the Daniel Fast. You will be tutored through email, on line teaching as well as live coaching call with the author, Susan Gregory. This 21 day fast has help to give me clarity in my walk with God, and the way my body feels is amazing. I have continued eating the foods from the plan and am currently eating more of a vegan diet now. One last thing, I had no cravings during this fast.I would love to encourage anyone out there, to get this book and commit to the Daniel Fast. Again with the tools that you will be offered to assist you through the 21 days, you will be so filled and glad you did...psst, pass it on, its a good thing!

This book has its basis in Christianity - the book of Daniel where he and his friends refuse to eat the food sacrificed to other gods, instead they ask to eat their own food - mainly vegan and not sacrificed - for a period of 21 days then to be reconsidered according to their health. The book has recipies, meal plans and devotional exercises for 21 days although it makes clear that you can use some or all of it, thus if you are not a Christian you can still gain through following the diet itself. At least half of the book is about fasting, its meaning, how to, restrictions and other questions that may be asked. This book would be good to use at any time in preparation for something - eg, Lent - and is commonly used to start the New Year. Other books do concentrate on the dietary aspects more than the religious ones so i would advise anyone to consider which type of book they really want. Personally i wanted both and i am very impressed by this book. I am going to use it to get closer to God once more having stepped back from religion for almost 3 years. I think it is an excellent way for those who have lost their way spiritually to find a way back. It is well written, concise, clear yet contains a lot of information. If you want a devotional and a diet in one this is the book for you.

I am so blessed with this book, it has thought me how to fast properly and effectively, it has helped me to eat healthily, and I have lost a lot of weight, wearing my old clothes now, a lot of people has noticed my huge weight loss. Even my skin is glowing and am spiritually strong now. Thanks a lot. It was delivered so fast. Love it.

It did explain the Daniel Fast well. I always struggle with US recipes (measuring, different names) but I was able to use my own vegan recipes so all good.

Absolutely brilliant! It had help to prepare for the fast in the best way and then I kept reading it during the fast. The recepies are just fantastic. I tried many of them and I was delighted, it brought back to me the enthusiasm to cook and enjoy doing it! The experience of fasting in itself was special. God bless Susan Gregory

We are starting the fast today and it was a clearly laid out book to have read prior to beginning to set our hearts and larder right. I am totally looking forward to this timing of renewal and increased closeness with God.

As advertised and very informative.

Fanatastic read if you're interested in learning about the Daniel Fast. I love Susan Gregory, I love her recipes, her inspiration, all her devotions and her dedication, passion and love for God and wanting to help others on their journey.

Brilliant book been great help for me doing my first fast. Devotionals really helped me get in to Gods word. Recipes great I was cooking food never tryed before. Finished 21 days fast but still enjoying healthy eating. Unleaven bread page 199 must try. Anyone doing daniel fast must get book. I was blessed

The book is ok. Nothing knew that I didnt know about. Too many recipes, but not much theory about Daniel's Fast or veganism as such, beyond theological stuff.Very quick delivery.

A very good book to have

Perfect

I ordered this product, and it came to day and I'm so excited at this new chapter in my life on which I'm about to embark on. The service i received was impeccable, if i could rate this higher than 5 stars i would. I can't recommend this book enough, i can only say to anyone looking to partake in the Daniel Fast give this book a try, between the explanations to the recipes it's a must read.

Great book. Loved getting to know more about the Daniel Fast. Very informative.

This is good, however i only give four stars as I found myself thinking about food more than fasting! It is the first time in my life that I've gone for more than a day or two without eating meat, and it was a real eye-opener that vegetarian options tasted as good as they do.

Loved it, especially the devotionals.
