Daily Bread - By: Pieter, 17 Nov 2007 
This book of daily devotions contains unpublished & published works including selections from The Sermon On The Mount & The Power Of Constructive Thinking. There are poems, prayers, scriptural passages & their exegesis. The theme is personal transformation & the practice of the presence of God. The main theme is that there exists a power that can liberate the captive & transform one's life for the better. This power of being is the Kingdom of God within (Luke 17:21), the power indwelling in consciousness. It is the invitation of Psalm 55:22 - Cast your burden upon the Lord.
The text begins with an explanation of Isaiah 9:6, the attributes of God as Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father & Prince of Peace. God is Spirit & we must worship Him in spirit & truth. The seven main aspects of God's nature are revealed as Life, Truth, Love, Intelligence, Soul, Spirit & Principle. Compound attributes consist of 2 or more of these, for example Beauty is made up of Life & Truth whilst Wisdom is a compound of Love & Intelligence.
Much information is given on the concept of scientific prayer, which is the practice of the presence. When confronting a problem for example, it is wise to think about God instead of the difficulty. The book is highly inspirational & uplifting & an antidote to spiritual exhaustion caused by wrestling with religious dogma & doctrines. I also recommend Alter Your Life by this author & The Hidden Power Of The Bible by Ernest Holmes.
