Weaving baking science and technique together with theological reflections drawn from a wide range of Christian traditions, this book will:

• teach you how to incorporate bread making into the rhythms of your busy life

• reveal the ins-and-outs of bread baking while unlocking the spiritual parallels woven into each loaf

• provide breadmaking liturgies and historical recipes to bake through a variety of liturgical holidays and seasons

• show how to incorporate baking as a form of prayer in our lives.

As you follow the steps to bake bread―whether you are a lifelong baker or intimidated by the thought of yeast―you will learn something about the character of God and the life of faith. In Bake & Pray, you will get not only a practical understanding of how to bake bread, but also receive a deeper appreciation for the ways God can shape you in the process.
