John Cavazos - The Daniel Fast Made Delicious: The Simple Fruit and Vegetable Fast That Will Nourish Your Body and Soul

Annies recipes revolutionized our approach to the Daniel fast. The food was not only healthy but also flavorful, and this encouraged us to readjust many of our former eating habits after the fast was over. THE BAILEY FAMILY The food is fantastic, and these meals are just perfect for me. Very yummy and fulfilling. I use these recipes often, without being on a fast. They should be used daily for good, healthy living.

LAUREN LADOTA We absolutely love all of the simple yet healthy and delicious recipes that John and Ann Marie have prepared for our friends and family. We have tried many of the recipes and are thrilled at how easy they are to prepare. The meals are delicious and incredible, and they allow you to feel extremely satisfied but not too full. We plan to maintain the daily use of these recipes as a lifestyle; they are great during and after the Daniel fast. GREG AND CAROL MONROE I can heartily say Yum! Good for the bones and good for the budstaste buds, that is! DANA HARDEN HANKINS, ESQ. I had the opportunity to taste the recipes that Pastor John and Annie put together for our church during the Daniel fast.

I particularly love the salads. I was thinking they would not taste good, but to my surprise they did, and of course they were healthy. I thought you always had to soak your salads in heavy creamy salad dressing, but they taught me that olive oil, Braggs, and lemon dressing would do just fine. I also like cooking now with wheat- and gluten-free pasta! I thank them for putting these recipes together. CHIDI KALU Annies recipes always taste great. Her seasonings make the difference.

MOM CAVAZOS Ann Marie is a fabulous cook. Her food is so delicious that I had a hard time believing that it was made with ingredients that are usually associated with tree huggers. She has converted me, and as a result I am both wiser and healthier. PAT BROUSSARD, ESQ.

We would like to say a special thank-you to our wonderful photographer and friend, Catherine Harrover, who worked tirelessly photographing the many delicious Daniel dishes in this book.

And to all of our family and friends on whom weve experimented with these dishesyou ate healthy and didnt die! Thanks for being our lab rats! God bless all of you. Finally, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: none of this would be possible without You. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can with-stand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken (Eccles. 4:12, NKJV). We love You!

O NE OF THE traditions that we have valued as a people at The Masters Touch International Church is our yearly time of fasting, prayer, and consecration to the Lord for those things that He desires to set in place within the context of our sphere and measure of rule.

While we certainly make time for complete fasts, we have found that for the sake of our people and their busy schedules, the Daniel fast indeed serves and accomplishes the purposes of God as revealed in Scripture for an acceptable fast. The Daniel fast is taken from the life of the prophet Daniel, and you can read about it in the first chapter of the Book of Daniel, where Daniel requested that he not be defiled by eating the kings food and that he and his companions eat vegetables only and drink water for ten days. The commanding officer feared for his own life if Daniel and his companions looked like they were not thriving, as the king chose them to be amongst his choice leadership team. If you have read the story, you know the outcome. Daniel and the three Hebrew comrades looked healthier and fared much better than those who ate the kings food. The challenge with most fasts, including the Daniel fast, is that people find it difficult to maintain the discipline and the focus to be able to continue in obedience and faith for ten, twenty-one, thirty, or forty days before the Lord.
