–BOOKLIFE REVIEW
Here’s What Readers Are Saying:
“Bread: A Modern Parable,” is not about politics, religion or psychology. It does offer political, theological and psychological messaging, but only to transport the reader to deeper, more valuable truths. “Bread” infers that harsh and evil realities of life happen to everyone. In that regard, it explores the role of spiritual power derived from relationships, and treats redemption and grace as transformative minus the heavy handedness of lifeless, religious rule-keeping. The option of who we choose to give ourselves to relationally, spiritually and politically is prioritized and illustrated in an astonishingly creative and meaningful way. Unlike a fairy tale, this book also manages to highlight very real truths about the struggles of modern relationships and the role personal honesty and emotional bonding plays in them. A completely surprising and entertaining book”

A friend who knows I love to read, gave me a copy of this new book. David Templeton’s “Bread” is almost indescribable, except that it is more different than any book I’ve read. I found myself glued to the pages completely entertained, wondering what was about to happen. It made me think, laugh and weep. The imagery is definitely surprisingly meaningful. Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. This book left me feeling more hopeful.

I don’t read often. But this book made me laugh then made me cry. I loved the author’s use of symbolism and metaphor to create meaning. The ending is my favorite, it is very poignent and endearing.
I highly recommend the book Bread by David Templeton!
