Your longest fast?
 
I'm reading a great book on fasting. The man doesnt mess around, he even had his small kids doing extended fasts. Like he said, they won't die.

Just curious what your longest ones have been.

Best book on fasting: "God’s Chosen Fast" by Arthur Wallis

longest fast on water only: 5 days

Daniel Fast: 21 days

I think consistent fasting of one day per week, with occasional fasts of a couple of days is very effective, maybe more effective then a longer fast done once in a great while.

Same principle applies in prayer.
