CD: Forty Days and Forty Nights

Forty Days & Forty Nights – Vol. I-IV CD Collection
A word from Dennis Jernigan:
This year I felt led to embark on something I had never experienced in my life…a forty
day fast. Always marveling at those who had accomplished such a feat…marveling at
while at the same time considering those who had completed a forty-day fast somewhere
between ‘hero’ and ‘eccentric’…I woke one day feeling compelled to begin my own
journey of a forty-day fast. Little did I know that God would speak to me in such
profound ways and so radically re-order my life in the process.

Having just gone through 3 years of grief and sorrow at the loss of relationship with
several friends…reeling from the dramatic downturn of our economy…recognizing the
lonely place I found myself due to the call to declare to the world my freedom from
same sex attraction…major surgery…another daughter marrying and moving literally to
the other side of the earth…coming to grips with how different and removed I am from
the ‘normal/mainstream’ Christian music scene…I woke that day knowing I needed a
change…needed to reboot my system in every way – mentally, emotionally, physically,
and spiritually.

From May 3 until June 11,2010, I consumed only water and fruit and vegetable juice losing 40
pounds in the process. While the weight loss helped get my body back on track after the
surgery, the re-focusing of my mind, emotions, and spirit on the things of the Lord began
to get my entire being back on track. My good friend, Dean Briggs, sent me a new book
he had just written as a guide through a forty-day fast called Forty Days & Forty Nights
- Fasting Toward Repentance & Rebirth. Written in the form of daily devotions, I began
each day meditating on either Psalm 40 or Isaiah 40. With each day’s meditation the Lord
saw fit to give me a song…which I recorded immediately after receiving. The forty songs
in these four volumes are the culmination of a 40-day journey of self-rediscovery.

My vision for these collections is that you would use them as devotional meditations
in your personal daily spiritual walk of intimacy with Christ. We have made the lyrics
available to you on my web site along with the Scriptural reference on which I meditated.
Use this as a guide to help you rediscover a deeper awareness of your identity in Christ
or to uncover new hidden treasures concerning your relationship with the King. Should
you decide to set out on your own fast, I strongly encourage you to get the book Forty
Days & Forty Nights - Fasting Toward Repentance & Rebirth by Dean Briggs. You will

be greatly encouraged and strengthened in your soul as Dean leads you through a healthy,
Christ-centered approach to a spiritual fast.
In His Love & Grace,
Dennis Jernigan
