Book: Break Through Fast: Accessing the Power of God

Author: Guillermo Maldonado

I have just finished reading this wonderful book that looks at the importance of prayer and fasting in the life of each Christian, and the implication it has on experiencing the power of God.

Maldonado took me through a biblical explanation of fasting, what it is and what it is not by defining and giving examples of fasting in the Bible.  He goes on to share about how fasting, giving and praying are a three-fold cord necessary in the life of every believer.  Furthermore, he goes on to explain some of the results fasting can have in your life, your circumstances and in the life and circumstances of others around you.  Lastly, Maldonado goes on to explain with a biblical perspective how fasting provokes a spiritual breakthrough, providing some practical steps we can take to practice this spiritual discipline.

My favorite part of the book is the last chapter where Maldonado speaks about the practical steps to fasting.  In this chapter he helped me put into practice what I read.  He outlines how to start to incorporate the spiritual discipline of fasting into my life.  He really addresses the preparation, physically, spiritually, and mentally, through prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit. I also really appreciated the testimonies of many believers seen throughout the book testifying how fasting has changed their lives as believers.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking to learn more about fasting and accessing the power of God though this spiritual discipline. This book has changed my perspective about fasting and truly helped me understand in a deeper way the need for me and every believer to be more intentional about this spiritual practice.
