This new 40 day devotional will leave you hungry for more, yet satisfied deep in your soul. All of Wendy's 40 day books are amazing, but this one knocks it out of the park! You will feel God drawing you closer as you devote yourself to these 40 days of feasting.
Ok devotional, probably better in a group study

AnimalFriend - 2 years ago
This book definitely has a specific audience, of which I am one. I have read all the other books by this author, some multitude times. For me, this was my least favorite. Let me note I read this alone. The author is VERY involved with her readers. She is approachable and frequently does online studies. Personally, I did not participate in a group study when reading this; However, I believe you would get more out of this book if you did. I’m quite sure those who participate in a study with others using this book will rave about it. I was so excited about this book and felt it had such a slow start. She kept referencing “whetting your appetite.” By day 16 I was ready to permanently put the book down. I kept waiting for a recommendation of how to study or an approach, which eventually came, but again very slow to start. - Honestly, I didn’t learn anything new in this book. It had some great imagery and I liked the layout. It was an easy read and divided into small “digestible” sections. Overall, I’ve been a Christian over 40 years and this read isn’t memorable for me; I’ll quickly forget it. In reiteration, I think reading this as a group study would make all the difference.
Feasting Around the Table

Feasting around the table with friends while sharing thoughts from this book will most likely look more like a buffet than a prix fixe meal! Each reader can fill their plate with morsels that feed and satisfy their unique taste buds. Like Wendy’s previous 40-day fasting books, this one follows the same format. Each day’s short devotional message is sandwiched between a scripture verse and a prayer. I love how Wendy gently leads you to a truth, thought and place to examine your own heart and mind. I highly recommend sharing this book with a small group of friends! But whether dining alone or with a party of five, you are certain to satisfy your appetite and feed your hungry soul with a true craving for God’s Word.

Are you feeling unsatisfied and hungry no matter what you do or what you eat. Are you roaming through life like a leaf blown in the wind? Are you tired of spinning your wheels?

This book is not only beautifully written it offers a practical perspective on the word of God. As well as practical doable advice on how to spend time digesting the Word of God.

Truth to Feast On - 2 years ago
I have done 7 of Wendy’s 40 Day Sugar Fasts, I was part of her book launch team in 2019 for the 40 Day Sugar Fast. Her writing is superb! She draws you in, in a way that keeps you wanting more! She has not disappointed with her newest book The 40 Day Feast! I was again part of the book launch team for this beautifully written book on God’s Word of Truth to feast on. Wendy keeps everything close to God’s heart, adding commentary from biblical scholars and teachers, explaining God’s Word that is easily understood, giving real life examples to glean from, passages from the Old and New Testaments for The Feast and a Food for Thought for us to think upon. This is the kind of books I enjoy, daily devotionals that draw me closer to Jesus! I encourage you to read it! Debby Blue

Devotional written in 2 parts. Loved 1st part of reminding us we need to feast on the meat (God's word) not just the appetizers of podcast, Christian radio etc. 2nd part helped you find the best way to study His word for you.
Well worth buying and reading!

Wendy has created an excellent resource for digging deeper into the God's Word, embracing the lessons God has for us every day. I love the personal and practical way Wendy writes, weaving in history, relevant points and questions to make you think. This is a great book to give friends both new to the Word of God and those who have been reading the Bible for a long time.

Once again, Wendy did a great job of writing this book. It's a great reminder to read His word daily! Life can be overwhelming but we don't need to be anxious about anything by seeking Him and His word for our lives.

One of the best books to whet your appetite for God’s Word! Wendy’s obvious passion for the Word of God is truly contagious throughout the pages of this book. Each chapter is short but so full of passion and how-tos, and I love how she sends you straight to the Word after each one. I’ve been a believer for a long time now, but I learned so much and grew my desire for God’s precious Word during this feast. But I also think this would be a wonderful book to give to someone who is newly stepping into the Bible, as well. So many helpful, easily applicable tips and so many good, fun, encouraging stories from her own life. I’ve read it once, bought it for a friend and can’t wait to go through it with them again! Wendy, thank you so much for this inspired book and for sharing your heart with us!

If you are not a Bible reader, this book can help you become one. If you are a Bible reader, this book can help you “feast” in a deeper way. The devotionals will help you delve into the Word, but be warned, that along the way your heart will be pricked! If you listen, God will speak to you as you take this journey. You will be encouraged and convicted. Wendy encourages us to pray, to study, and then to apply God’s Word to transform our lives!

I have done several sugar fasts and social media fasts using Wendy's other books and was invited to participate in the launch for this one. And I'm so glad that I did! Wendy's focus in her fasting books has always been on leading the reader to hunger for God and His Word rather than the things of this world. In this book, she leads us even deeper with a daily verse, devotional, and longer passage on which to "feast." Wendy invites us to linger at the table in fellowship with our Lord while offering some practical tips on how to make the most of that time. Wendy and her books have helped whet my appetite for God's Word!

I value good devotionals as much as anyone. This is not merely a daily devotional though. It is a launching point to get readers into a daily and lifelong habit of reading the most important Book of all, the very Word of God. I appreciate devotionals that give me a verse or two of Scripture to ponder. And 40 Day Feast does do that, but then it has readers feast on long and meaty chunks of Scripture that are in no way meant to be read quickly. Wendy Speake encourages her readers to very slowly ingest and digest the feast that God serves up through His Word. Wendy's end goal is that her readers leave her book behind as they take up their own faithful study of the Good Book for a lifetime. Even as someone who does a decent job of feasting on the Word, I was challenged and encouraged to go deeper still and am so much better for it. I will be buying copies of this book for family and friends for years to come. It's important. This book is different in the very best of ways.

The 40-Day Feast offers 40 short (and powerful) devotionals to help you understand the epic importance of reading the Bible daily. Wendy utilizes touching stories, theology, and practical tips to inspire the reader to live a life that craves reading God's Word. This book is beneficial for those new to faith or reading the Bible. I love Wendy's suggestions for how to approach the Bible in prayer and the questions we can ask ourselves after we read. As a Bible study teacher, I also learned several new facts about the Bible and its history. I highly recommend this book for those looking to fall in love with the Word of God.

Her heart to cultivate a love of God's Word and his goodness is evident in the 40 Day Feast, and you truly begin to crave going deeper to take part at the table. This book will not only get you into God's Word but equip you to FEAST on your own as you discover the how and the why.

I am so excited to dig into this inspiring read! Brooke McGothlin states that the goal of the “The Forty Day Feast” is to make reading the Bible a little more comprehensible. She describes feating on God’s word to understand the love of God that we might find our way back to God. The Bible holds the power to change us. Brooke encourages to remember that the Bible is meant to be daily bread. We need nourishment from the Bible daily. It is important to remember that in desert seasons that God has not deserted us. Brooke describes different methods of Bible study to show the reader that there are multiple ways to study scriptures. Brooke encourages us to allow scripture to bring a taste of heaven to our daily life. One of the ways that we can do this is by praying the scriptures. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants it read the Bible more, but doesn’t know where to start. #40dayfeast

Great quality - 2 years ago
The 40 Day Feast will give you healthy portions of encouragement and tastes of the Bible, and it will leave you happily wanting to hunger for more. Wendy Speake says it clearly God uses His Word to STRENGTHEN us when we are weak. God FEEDS US JOY when we are joyless, for His Word is SWEET when life is bitter. He serves us FAITH when we are faithless and HOPE when we are hopeless. He spoon-feeds us COURAGE when we ache down deep from fear. Our Bibles make us BRAVE to continue when we are tempted to quit. Isn’t that what everyone wants?No matter if you are someone who is overwhelmed with the thought of reading the Bible or someone who is a seasoned Bible reader, this is for you! If you are tired of just surviving in this world and want to thrive, this is a must read for you.
Develop an appetite for the Bible.

have read multiple of Wendy Speake's books and again she does not disappoint! The 40 Day Feast is all about filling one's self up with the good and Holy Word of God! Unlike Wendy's first two books - which asked readers to identifying the things we put in place of God and turn to when life becomes stressful, when we are bored or overwhelmed, the 40 Day Feast helps us to develop an appetite for the Bible. Structured in the same fashion as the 40 Day Sugar Fast & 40 Day Social Media Fast with short devotional-like chapters, the 40 Day Feast is a launching point to get readers into a daily and lifelong habit of reading the Bible, the Word of God. This book was not intended to be a comprehensive explanation of the Bible, rather an introductory tool emphasizing the need to savor each bite of the Holy Word we ingest (read) and apply the biblical truths to our daily lives. Whether you have been a Christian for a couple of days or decades, The 40 Day Feast will ignite a passion and hunger for God's Word in a new way that will have us being both a Bible believing AND Bible reading society.
