Bread of Life

Phyllis A. Tickle

0/5 ( ratings)

Deckhead: Recipes for the body, and meditations for the soul.The table has been an important place for Christians ever since the beginning of our history. The Bible is full of stories about Jesus eating with others-with tax collectors and fishermen, the picnic meal by the Sea of Galilee, the wedding feast, the story of the loaves and fishes, the important table of the Last Supper, and many others. Coming to the table as people of God, we encounter one another in Christ, sharing food and memories, facing individual and collective fears, and discovering great truths. The Bread of Life is a cookbook for all those who understand the importance of the table in building Christian community.

More than just a cookbook, however, The Bread of Life features meditations at the beginning of each chapter that focus the reader on the sacramental nature of food and community. Biblical quotations throughout the book continue to remind cooks of the sacred nature of their task. This is a gift for more than just the taste buds: The Bread of Life is a gift for the soul as well.
