Bread, Body, Spirit: Finding the Sacred in Food

Peck, Alice

Through a beautiful, diverse and eclectic array of personal narratives, fiction, sacred texts and verse, this inspiring book offers new perspectives on the unique ways that food nourishes our connection to the Divine. Tracing our food's journey from the garden and the slaughterhouse to preparing, cooking and serving meals in our homes and at our feast, these writings will speak to your heart and allow you to journey beyond physical satisfaction to the sacred connection between food and feeding our souls. Drawing from many faith traditions and backgrounds - Christian, Jewish, Native American, Hinud, Buddhist, Muslim and Sikh - this collection contemplates, illuminates and unveils the mysteries to be discovered in harvest and banquet as well as hunger.
