The most desperate need of men today is not a new vaccine for any disease, or a new religion, or a new way of life. Man does not need to go to the moon or other solar systems. He does not require bigger and better bombs and missilesHis real need, his most terrible need, is for someone to listen to him, not as a patient, but as a human soul.

TAYLOR CALDWELL

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul. Wayne Dyer

C apacity building by learning to live authentically is what The 40 Day Soul Fast is all about. Capacity building, in a way, is also about community building. Its about growing into the fullness of God as a community (see Eph. 3 and 4). Dont journey alone! There is power in community. There is strength in numbers. I challenge you to bring at least four friends along with you on this soul-healing adventure

If everyone who picks up this book takes it upon him or herself to encourage four other people to participate, we would create an unstoppable movement! You may think that one healed soul cannot heal the world, but it can.

If you would like to bring healing to your community, nation, or hemisphereor if you would like to see positive change even closerin your home, your family, church, or organization, please consider doing the following:

1. Give your pastor, group facilitator, or community leader a copy of the book.
2. Identify and promote the long-term benefits of soul healing.
3. Get The 40 Day Soul Fast program on the agenda and calendar!
4. Start a signup sheet. Pass around a clipboard asking interested individuals to sign up.
5. Start your own small group that meets weekly for the next eight weeks.
6. Find all the tools you need to become a soul fast leader online at www.soulfast.com.
7. Order books in larger quantities at a discount.
8. Buy two extra copies and share with two of your closest colleagues, family members, or friends.

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader. Steven Covey

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6 NIV)

To deprive a man of his natural libertyis starvation of the soul. Mohandas Gandhi

I am so glad you have chosen to join me on this 40-day journey to greater mental, emotional, and spiritual health! If you are looking to transform your life, you are in the right place! Over the next eight weeks, I will teach you the foundational principles of spiritual and personal empowermentno matter what your background or experience, you will learn and grow and be empowered like never before to maximize your personal potential and break through to greater success.

My hearts cry is to liberate the souls of humanity so people everywhere would be empowered to grow into their most authentic, God-created, divine selves. Of course, it is only through a personal relationship with your Creator that you can truly be set free. As St. Augustine once said of the Lord, You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.

Throughout the next 40 days, we will be talking a great deal about entering into that rest, what it means, and how it can empower us to live more authentically. We will be stopping to look around as we are told in Jeremiah, Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls
