Fast your Way to Health by Lee Bueno-Aguer is one of my most favorite books. It is nonfiction and is certainly the most read book on my bookshelf! It is written in, doggy eared, highlighted, underlined, and for sure extremely worn! I have learned so much from this book and I want to share how it has helped me to heal physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I have meditated on and practiced the truths hidden in these pages that tell of a testimony of the author's near-death experience to complete and total healing. The author talks about how she fasted, prayed, and ate her way to health.
I bought this book back in 2007 when God was beginning to teach me how to get well. I was very sick and I had decided that my health does not belong to the doctor (as they were not helping me at all), it belongs to me. This is one of the resources I used and still do on a regular basis for my journey to health.
In this book, the author describes a terrible, incurable health condition that she was diagnosed with. The doctors gave her no hope so she prayed. God impressed upon her to fast and healing came.
Isaiah 58:6-8New King James Version (NKJV)[amazon template=thumbnail&asin=http://amzn.to/2cFAxrP]
6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
What I Love about this Book
- I love how she tells her story. As I was reading I felt like I was experiencing the anguish and the healing that she experienced from the sickness.
- I love how she turned this tragic part of her life into a ministry to help others who suffer from diseases. God said he would give us beauty for ashes! Isaiah 61:3
- She thoroughly discusses what fasting is and what it is not as well as how to fast unto the Lord.
- She really goes into why we should fast whether we are sick or not.
- She includes a short healthy recipe section that will help the faster stay on track on their road to health.
- My favorite section of the book discusses our stomach as our god. This plucked on my heart strings and caused me to really examine my own life. Is my stomach my god? Yikes!!!
- There is much, more!
What I Wish was Included in the Book
- I wish the author would have included the mechanics or how to's for the different types fasts she discussed in the book in more detail.
Overall, this was a very life changing book simply because it was a Christian book and it was written from a holistic health perspective. It encouraged me that my body is able to heal if I give it what it needs. The book gave me hope.
