This book has a misleading title.
The author was merely doing a juice fast, which is relatively easy to do. I thought she was doing a water fast and was doing spiritual battles when I purchased the book. I was disappointed upon reading the first few chapters of the book and never finished it.

I still don't understand why she fasted for such an extended period of time -- but that's between her and God.
The book really helped me understand the principles of fasting. As Christians today, we don't pay much attention to fasting.
I think I'm willing to try it now.

"Hunger Pains" captured my heart and mind right from the get-go. Cynthia's journey across the desert of fasting truly captivated me and I had a very hard time laying the book down. That surprised me! I never thought a book on fasting could hold my attention as easily as a good novel can.I kept telling myself that I would read just one more chapter... but several chapters later, I was still reading. That, to me, is the gift of a good author. I loved Cynthia's honesty, humility, and humaness -- as she stripped down and bared her heart and soul throughout the entire book.I must admit that I hadn't read much on fasting but since reading "Hunger Pains" I have been reading another book on fasting.I would highly recommend Cynthia's book to others -- in fact, I already have.

This was a great book! The author is humbly straight forward and down to earth. Her personality is revealed on each page and you can't help but like her. Once I began reading the book I could not put it down. Her experience has helped me understand how to deal with the feelings and hunger that go along with fasting. If you are planning a long or short fast, this is the book for you, Cynthia Moe adheres to the Bible teachings regarding fasting, without being fanatical or over the top in any way. I can not wait until her next book comes out.
