This is my fourth year joining the Daniel Fast with Pastor Jentezen Franklin at Free Chapel in Gainesville, Georgia. Over these years, I’ve collected some recipes that work very well with the fast and decided to pass them along. I have added the nutritional information only on the recipes where it was already included.
May God bless you as you use this time to grow closer to Him.
