Spiritual Retreat At Home,
By envchemist (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bake and Be Blessed: Bread Baking as a Metaphor for Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
It's hard to describe this book. Yes, there are recipes, but they take a huge back seat to the idea that in everything God has a message for us. In each step in making bread there is a parallel in our lives, from rising to being punched down and possibly being the crumbs and left over crusts at the end of life. Then there's the parables that Fr. Garramone brings to life. When Jesus compared the yeast to being like the kingdom of God...how much was the three measures of wheat the woman made the bread with (hint: we're feeding a world here!) and then there was the story of the oatmeal cookies...I'm not going to tell you about that one--but's it is really rich and then you get the priviledge of making the same cookies from the story. Buy this book. You'll find yourself refreshed...and then buying more books to give your friends! God bless.

Inspirational and Delicious,
By Tom Pinto "Tom" (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bake and Be Blessed: Bread Baking as a Metaphor for Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
Father Dominic's book is one that may help you understand yourself and the feelings that you may have about your own life. Father Dominic shares with the reader, personal accounts of spirtual growth and explains how these events have affected him on a regular basis. He also informs the reader how he or she should view their own world so that they may encounter spirtual growth in their own lives as well. Along the way of this spirtual journey, he shares some tasty bread recipes that serve as metaphors for each chapter's lessons to be learned.
