The work here presented "My Daily Bread" is a summary of spiritual doctrine so simplified and arranged that everyone can come to a knowledge and practice of the principles of the spiritual life. It is divided into three books which treat respectively of the three ways of Spiritual Life. (1) Purification - we must reform that which has been deformed in us by sin. (2) Imitation - we must conform to Christ that which has been reformed. (3) Union - we must transform through Christ that which has been conformed.
This book must be read, not only with the head, but with the heart. We must think and pray. This daily exercise will transform belief into realization, theory into practice. This work has been authored by the Rev. Anthony J. Paone, S.J. May it prove a helpful guide to daily spiritual growth. May it help souls to persevere in the holy resolutions which they make at the time of confession, Holy Communion, missions, retreats, or any moment of grace. While written primarily for the layman in the language of the layman, it will prove helpful to the priest and religious.

Review By: Anonymous From Denver, CO (formerly Redmond, WA) 5.0/5Adult Faith Journey? - This book is a must-have!, 12/23/2006
I have read through this book a chapter a day a few years ago and found it excellent at moving through our faith and finding daily insights in a quick format with no-nonsense teachings. I found this short time reflecting and growing each day to be a true gift from God. I have purchased as many copies as I could before since the book was out of print - if you have anyone who is maturing in their faith as an adult this book would be a tremendous asset to them.
Review By: Anonymous From Missouri 5.0/5Excellent, 08/08/2007
I just received this book, it was my father's. I have been reading it for two weeks. I have never read anything as wonderful as this. It is very thought provoking. I am going to purchase several of these to give to my dearest friends because I truly feel everyone should have a copy of this.
