"This book will touch mind, heart, and soul, paving the way to the glory of Easter." Most Reverend Daniel E. Thomas, Bishop of Toledo "Michelle Francl-Donnay is a scientist, writer, teacher, wife, and mother. All of these life experiences are the leaven in Not by Bread Alone. That's why it rises above other books of Lenten reflections. Michelle has lived what she is talking about, laughed, cried, and prayed about it, and endeavors to understand its spiritual meaning. Here is nourishing food for the spiritual journey." Michael Leach, author of Positively Catholic Michelle Francl-Donnay gives us the great gift of a devotional for Lent 2018 that can be used year after year. Because her reflections are simultaneously personal and universal, readers will easily identify with what Francl-Donnay offers for contemplation. Each entry includes a meditation with prompts to help readers explore daily readings, Scripture, and Francl-Donnays reflection, as well as a prayer. Not by Bread Alone is a rich resource that stands out among devotionals. Meredith Gould, Ph.D., author, Desperately Seeking Spirituality: A Field Guide to Practice Lent should also be about changing our awareness of our entire selves and the way we experience the world around us. It is a time of deliberate reflection on our relationships with each other and with God. Fasting from what we do not need, or in solidarity with the poor, or to focus our prayer is a worthy practice. One title that seeks to guide us in these practices is Not by Bread Alone. Ministry & Liturgy A lovely and very portable booklet of daily Lenten meditations. The content and size are just right for those looking for some way to add a special spiritual practice for Lent. The Bible Today
