Give Us This Day: Lenten Reflections on Baking Bread and Discipleship

Bread speaks to us of our daily reliance upon a Maker, writes Christopher Levan. Perhaps more than any other food it brings us close to our roots as fellow creatures of God’s creation. Bread is an apt metaphor for the spiritual journey.

Give Us This Day offers meditations for every day in Lent, inviting us to connect faith, ＂our daily bread,＂ and the world in which we live, along with recipes that range from Shrove Tuesday ＂No-Fret Pancakes＂ to Easter Challah bread. Each of the 40 meditations begins with a scripture verse and a prayer.
