When the author began to study the subject of fasting some years ago he was shocked by the number of biblical references he found referring to it. Clearly fasting was not some biblical "side issue", but a central element of spiritual life. Fasting is a discipline that has been practised by many influential men and women of God throughout church history with dramatic results. The author says, "Fasting has become an essential part of my walk with the Lord. It continues to amaze me that I lived for so long without this key that unlocks so many blessings." Using the metaphor of a key, this book discusses how Fasting will unlock the blessings of God.
