What a beautiful, beautiful book! I truly enjoyed reading Bread of Life by Abigail Dodds. Wonderful photos and recipes and just all around inspiring! I will be purchasing myself a copy and also for our library.

Thank you NetGalley and Crossway for this ARC!

Being served by the Lord humbles the proud, which is why so many refuse it. For his children, for those their need, it is life. It is a banquet of blessing, a house of bread, that you've been invited to.

The implications of bread making and Jesus the bread of life was something I could not pass up in this study. I am not a bread maker but I appreciated the author's love for bread making and bringing that to light in the text. With each chapter ending a recipe for a type of bread. The illustrations are lovely and you could imagine easily the smell of fresh baked bread. Learning about bread making and tasting the word of God went well together. Each chapter was of course started with the word. A simple word of many implications of the goodness of God. Taste and see that the Lord is good is all thru out. The first chapter is not about diet but eating the bread. Just like that, it gets to the root of why we lose satisfaction with Christ. That he is not enough.

The text is reflective and by being so it gives peace. A hunger for more! Highly recommend.

A Special thank you to Crossway Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest revie

Bread of Life by Abigail Dodds is a beautiful, wonderful book. It truly ponders on the provision of God -- and God's name, the Bread of Life. This book comes with wonderful recipes and beautiful photos, and I will be sure to try all of the recipes. But most of all, this book meditates beautifully on Jesus and God's provision for us, both physically and spiritually.

This inspiring devotional book was filled with meaningful essays and delicious-looking recipes. I appreciated Dodds' thoughtful musings on faith and how she connected her daily domestic life to a life of faith and joy. I enjoyed her writing because it felt as though you were sitting at her kitchen table having a conversation with a friend. The recipes looked easy and fun to try and the photos were beautiful. I think this would be a wonderful Christmas gift.

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.

This book is divine.
I love books like this that take the word of God and apply it to their life in the way this book has.
I loved reading the devotionals/thoughts of the author and the questions are great prompts. Then pulling this together with a recipe is just a wonderful reflection of how God is part of our every day.
I appreciate that there is scripture throughout and the imagery is a feast to the eyes.
I came away from this book inspired and grateful for others insight into the word of Jesus.
A fantastic read and recipe book that I highly recommend.

A beautiful cookbook combined with some devotional pages. All the breads look so beautiful and appetizing and I can't wait to start making these recipes. The photos are gorgeous!! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I've always wanted to make bread and become a great baker, and this book made me feel like I could definitely do it.

This is an inspiring book, rich in scripture, beautiful photos, and wonderful bread recipes that I can’t wait to try. This would make a very nice gift for a special woman in your life-yourself included.
