Christian seeking a deeper prayer life and a fuller experience of the Lord in the Eucharist will find help in The Bread of Life. The book is organized into thirty one themes, each centered on a scripture reading. The reading is developed in a reflective, prayerful essay and the theme is concluded with suggestions for further readings from scripture. The themes and readings range widely through the Old and New Testaments. They all deepen one's understanding of a central truth of the Catholic faith-the Lord's gift of himself in the Eucharist.
