In his book The Forty-Day Word Fast , Tim Cameron reminds us how powerful words can be, especially negative ones. Fast your way into a new future...through your words. -Dr. Robert J. Stamps, Dean of Chapel at Asbury Theological Seminary and vice-president for Spiritual Affairs at Oral Roberts University The rich treasure trove you will find as you search your own heart as you read this book will be well worth it--for years to come!--Dennis Jernigan, worship leader, songwriter, and internationally renowned Christian recording artist xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0It's practical, hopeful stuff here, but it doesn't let us off easy. I predict that most who read this book will emerge full of gratitude, which is Cameron's great antidote to the poison of those "little foxes."- --DENNISxa0JERNIGANxa0WORSHIP LEADER SONGWRITER INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNEDxa0CHRISTIAN RECORDING ARTISTWhen I was asked to endorse this book, I knew that I could instantly say yes because I know the author and know he is a man of great character. Imagine my sur- prise to learn that he, of all people, had gotten to the place of negativity in life. Having gone through a forty- day fast from food in my own life, I well understand the value of fasting as a practice. As I have been reading this book,xa0The Forty-Day Word Fast, I have come to the realization that I need this book! I have once again been reminded that I should not call myself anything less than my Father calls me--and that I should not de-value the life of another human being because my Father does not.xa0The rich treasure trove you will find as you search your own heart as you read this book will be well worth it--for years to come! --Dr. Charles W. Pollard President of John Brown University and Board Chair of the Council for Christian Colleges and UniversitiesIt is a book that instructs and inspires us to live a more godly and full life, a resource that will benefit all who seek to follow Christ. --Rev. Thomas R. Albin Dean of The Upper Room Ministries and Ecumenical Relations, and executive director of the United Christian Ashrams of North America As I read this book by Tim Cameron, I was astonished at the practical wisdom, the deep honesty, and the biblical insight that came to me day by day. This book documents the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life one man--who now offers to us the path to healing, wholeness, and holiness he has found. The invitation to live in the sanctifying grace of God that is contained in these pages, along with the process of daily spiritual reflection, comes with the assurance that "God did this for me; and I know God can do it for you." TIM CAMERON is a graduate of the University of Tulsa with a master's degree in teaching arts. He also graduated from Oral Roberts University where he was director of admissions and financial aid. Following his tenure at ORU, he worked as a senior high school principal. He then served as headmaster at Metro Christian Academy, at the time the largest private school in Oklahoma. Tim currently serves in intercession, in prophetic ministry, and as an elder at Believers Church.

This is one of those books that anyone can read and benefit from! No one is beyond the need to reflect on their words. I am still on my 40 day journey, but already know I will be rereading it and recommending it to family and friends. This book is obviously a rich reflection written by someone who has lived it--making daily changes in both self-talk and communication with others. For example, maybe we try not to grip to others, but what do we say to ourselves that pollutes our hearts and attitudes...and eventually makes its way to our mouths. When I think about the society in which we live--where people take their comments lightly, we could all use our words "more seasoned with grace." This book will help us all with that journey.

I highly recommend this challenging

I highly recommend this challenging, easy-to-read text. The author does not suggest we take a vow of silence for 40 days, but that we put a tight rein on our tongues for 40 days and watch the results. Cameron encourages us to give careful thought to the words that come out of our mouths on a daily basis. If you do not like someone meddling with your life and helping you to grow, then this book is NOT for you. But if you long to let God's transforming work in your life go deeper, this book IS for you. Available both in paperback and Kindle versions.

It would be a fantastic Christmas present.

This book makes me think how damaging words can be. Or how they can bring blessing and courage to others. Words are powerful. It has caused me to really watch my words. The fast has left a constant reminder to me. Thank you Tim Cameron for sharing this insight.
