Join our conversation with Annette Dickman, songwriter of "Bread of Life, Living Water," to hear how this 2011 church music submission became a sacrament hymn in the new hymnal by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A personal desire to understand the sacrament better and two years of consistent, dedicated work produced a unique and uplifting hymn featuring these titles of the Savior. Hear also of a couple of Annette's sacred experiences with the sacrament and how she overcame depression and perfectionism in her pursuit to follow Jesus Christ.
