There is an old Irish prayer which goes something like this: Give us today for bread the word of God from heaven. This reflects the deep longing of the human heart for a relationship with God which is both substantial and life giving, with the warmth and savor of freshly baked bread. God's word, like his mercy, is new every morning. In this book there are 174 independent reflections on the Scriptures, seeking to receive the word of God anew each day.
