Bread of Life: Savoring the All-Satisfying Goodness of Jesus through the Art of Bread Making by Abigail Dodds (Releases November 9)。In this unique book that is part recipe collection and part devotional, the author invites her readers to consider whether our lives are really being satisfied by Jesus, the Bread of Life, or whether we’re just pretending。 This book is very direct in tone, and there were parts of it that took me aback a little。 But it was written with love, first for the Savior, the Bread of Life: Savoring the All-Satisfying Goodness of Jesus through the Art of Bread Making by Abigail Dodds (Releases November 9)。In this unique book that is part recipe collection and part devotional, the author invites her readers to consider whether our lives are really being satisfied by Jesus, the Bread of Life, or whether we’re just pretending。 This book is very direct in tone, and there were parts of it that took me aback a little。 But it was written with love, first for the Savior, then for his word, and then for the author’s sisters in Christ。 It’s also very pretty 🤩 (I’m sure the hard copy puts the ecopy to shame)。 The bread recipes range in difficulty, but I’m very much a beginner and could manage a few of them。“Whenever we take a rule from our Father and begin examining it apart from him—apart from his character, his fatherly affection, his authoritative goodness—we fall into sin。 We become susceptible to lies。 Why? Because the rules were never meant to exist apart from the God who gave them to us。”Thank you Netgalley and Crossway for the advanced review copy。 。。。more

(Arva Mill if you are interested。。。I get oatmeal in 50-pound bags from them as well!) I am not a bread maker or lover of it (unless it is brioche or a perfect wood-oven Montreal bagel!) but this could get me baking。 The recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there。There is not "too much Jesus" (okay that is the first time I have written that in a review!) for people who are not Christians。。。it is just a good book to meld bread making and belief in your higher power and their providing you with food and life。As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc。 ") on Instagram and Twitter。。。 Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🍞🍞🍞🍞 。。。more
