Have you heard of this before?  40 loaves – Breaking Bread with Our Father Each Day by C.D. Baker.

I ask because he’s authored several books and yet this is the first I’ve heard of him!

As the New Year approaches this would be a great way to start off the New Year with some daily devotional reflections that will tickle your taste buds for the first 40 days!  The comforting aroma that Baker provides will melt in your mouth and make you crave more!  (laughing now because I just realized his last name is Baker and the book is loaves… that’s funny lol bread.. baker.. get it?  sorry, yes. I couldn’t resist.).

Seriously though I really enjoyed this devotional. I found it interesting, compelling and moving.  Baker really asks a lot of tough questions.  Each chapter or slice will give you insight, encouragement and perhaps a renewed sense of worth in your relationship with God.  He asks a lot of tough questions with his “Food for Thought” questions, such as why don’t I have more faith? or why am I so bored with Jesus?  And one that really touched me was why don’t I feel connected at church? or Why don’t I know what I want in life?  I tell ya he covers questions that you didn’t even THINK you had an issue with!

It really made me question my motives, and gave me an opportunity to have a real heart to heart with God.  It pushed my buttons to think beyond myself and make me move forward with my relationship with Christ and that is so important!

“40 Loaves is something of a collection of the kinds of questions I felt finally free to ask of myself and of my relationship with Christ,” says Baker. “It’s my belief that these questions are shared by many others who long for the freedom to simply ask them out loud. I hope this book becomes a platform that frees others to search their hearts more deeply and be fed with the Bread of life.”

and shhhhhhhhhhhh I found the first chapter online! So here ya go!  Grab a little taste! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
