Manna: Bread of Life: Devotional and Journal

By Shontel Stanford

Just as our physical bodies need food and water to survive and sustain its strength we need to feed our spirits with Jesus, the Word of God, to produce spiritual growth and strength. This is what Manna: Bread of Life brings to every believer in Christ. Manna is a collection of 366 short messages and scriptures to inspire you to draw closer to the Lord so He may fill you completely and empower you by the strength of His words then you will walk in the Blessing. Through meditating on a short message and scripture each day you will begin to renew your mind to the power of God that resides in you. As a bonus Manna includes a journal so you can write your own messages from God. Thats two books for the price of one! Just as no seed can reproduce without being planted the power of God will not be manifested in you unless you implant His word into your heart.

"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." "Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread. Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty."
John 6:33-35
