Nick's manual is a very practical guide to experience what the Danish Christian, Kierkegaard said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive, but then it is also more blessed to be able to do without than to have. Desi Maxwell, Teacher and founder of Xplorations Ministries, UK. Nick and I share a few things in common, beyond Bruce Willis hairstyles, in particular our love for family life, sports and a passion for Evangelism. In the ten years I have known Nick, he continues to be a faithful steward of all that the LORD has entrusted to him as well as a pioneer seeking fresh ways to reach lost people and multiply the mission of God. This book flows out of a deep river of theology and practice that is both relevant and challenging. I have read a few books on fasting and prayer, some are simply too 'Pentecostal' or 'too radical' for most people to grasp. They set the bar too high. Others are filled with too many personal stories and you come away talking about the author instead of Jesus or the power of fasting and prayer. This book gets the balance just right, Biblical, practical and accessible to all. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to every Christian. Read it, act on it, journal your experience, keep a prayer diary and wait upon the Lord. He will answer. I am convinced this book has the potential to help light a spark that can, as Nick puts it, turn us all into spiritually 'highly flammable' followers of Jesus. Mitch, Evangelist and co-founder of Crown Jesus Ministries, UK and Ireland. Nick's passion to see the Church revived and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit as we rediscover the joy of worshipping God in fasting and prayer is refreshing. He does this in a very practical, easy to read book which encourages us to adopt the practice of the important disciplines of fasting and prayer. Rev. John Townley, National Leader of the Free Methodist Church, UK. We live across the road from a tennis club. For years now, we have watched a little boy arriving early in the morning for personal coaching. He is probably about fourteen years old now. From his and his coach's body language, he clearly gets some things wrong, but they persist and he is developing into a very good player. Practice makes perfect, so the saying goes. I recently spoke to a member of our church who comes to our prayer meetings, but never prays. 'I'm just not good at it, ' she says. When it comes to prayer and fasting, many Christians have a great sense of failure because they think that they're just not good at it. Reading books on the subject can often deepen that sense of failure. Pastor Nick Serb moves beyond the theory of books to getting stuck in and practising prayer and fasting in clear, simple and spiritually adventurous steps. Practice makes perfect, so go on; dare to journey. Rev. Andrew Gardner, Lead pastor, Hope Church Lancaster, England. Fasting and prayer. Unfortunately, both are becoming less of a major part of the Christian community. It is time this book is read and this book is studied and this book is practiced. Pastor Nick takes us into the very presence of God with this study. May this book turn our hearts nearer to the heart of God. Dr H. Wallace Webster, Author and Pastor of Mount Airy Bible Church and Elementary, Principal of Mount Airy Christian Academy, Maryland, USA.
