Fasting is a Christian discipline that is rarely talked about in the Christian church, so I found the book, The Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory, to be refreshing and enlightening. America has been plagued by an epidemic of obesity - we love our food -and for some they love their food more than they love their God! Fasting was a part of the Jewish culture and great men and women of God through out the Bible, participated in fasting and prayer. Our ultimate example is Jesus our Savior, who went into the wilderness for 40 days to fast and pray.

Have you ever gone on a fast? In the last few years I have begun to practice this spiritual discipline. Sometimes it's been with my Good Morning Girls group, often it's with my husband and once with an old friend from high school who now lives in Texas! The support through out the day of emails, texts and prayers has gotten me through some rough days of fasting - (I do love my Diet Coke! I know for others giving up coffee is a struggle!)

What is so great about this book is it provides a step by step plan - including how to prepare, some recipes that follow the restrictions and daily devotions for doing a 21 day Daniel Fast. I have not done a fast that included food so this sparked my interest - maybe I can do this!

Susan Gregory says in The Daniel Fast, "The definition of a biblical fast is to restrict food for a spiritual purpose." Susan explains there are three types of fasts - an absolute fast, a normal fast, and a partial fast. The Daniel Fast is a partial fast - abstaining from some foods but not all. Daniel abstained from all foods except foods from the seed and water. So this book explains how to follow his example.

Do you wish you had the deep faith of Daniel? One that could lock the jaws of lions in a den?
When I joined the Tyndale Blogger Network, the first book they sent me was The Daniel Fast: Feed Your Soul, Strengthen Your Spirit, and Renew Your Body by Susan Gregory.

Whenever I see a book that claims to have a "bible-based" diet or nutrition guide, I am usually skeptical. It was no different for this book. After reading Gregory's book, I have two basic thoughts that emanate from the text.

First, the book is valuable for those wanting to find a safe way to learn the art of fasting as a discipline. Those who read the book will be glad to find not only her biblical outline for how the fast relates to Daniel's refusal to eat the kings famous meal, but also how we might carry out the fast in modern day America. The book is filled with lots of recipes for a very limited diet (it is more stringent than even a vegan diet).

Second, the book falls prey to the kind of individualizing and popularizing of biblical texts into "five step" programs and it's as easy as "x, y, and z" to have a better walk with the Lord.

The chapter that I had the hardest time getting through was the chapter 4 (The Daniel Fast for Body, Soul, and Spirit) where Gregory takes us on a hardline trichotomist walk through scripture. Not only does this take away from the central focus of the book, but it puts too hard a nose on a grey subject. The lines between body, soul, and spirit are not simply "one thing" in scripture. They cannot be easily separated, and Gregory does a poor job of showing the differences in thoughts about the body and the soul between the modern mindset and the Hebrew mindset. The book would have been better without this chapter.
