SYNOPSIS

The Monks of Archangel Monastery have a dilemma: their cupboards are bare! But their wise Father Abbot reminds them to trust that Christ will provide their daily bread. So the monks go about their work, study and prayer, while offering up their belly grumble for the love of God. This beautifully-illustrated book will be enjoyed by children and their caregivers for its humorous pictures, for fun rhymes reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, and for the heartfelt message of sincere trust in the Lord's providence.

VFAVE CONTRIBUTOR COMMENTARY

This book provides a delightful opportunity for children to appreciate the vocations of monks, while also learning from their example. These charming monks invite children to look at life a little less selfishly - and a lot more appreciatively of the blessings and providence of God!

Smart Study - Book Review: The Monks Daily Bread

Article excerpt: "The story has a sing-song feel to it with some simple rhyming on each page that will appeal to younger children. The illustrations have a Sunday morning comic feel to them, and I would describe them as vibrant in color and full of life and whimsy! What I like best about these books is that on the last page is a Scripture verse that related to the story. This gives your child something to memorize and take what they learned to heart."
