FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The story of an unexpected and terribly inconvenient Christian conversion, told by a very unlikely convert, Take This Bread is not only a spiritual memoir but a call to action.Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life as a restaurant cook and writer. Then one morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. She ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed, embracing a faith shed scorned and which would lead to feeding others in a way that shed never imagined. Sara started a food pantry giving away literally tons of food from around the same altar where shed first received the body of Christ, and providing hundreds of hungry families with free groceries each week.Take This Bread is rich with real-life Dickensian characters–church ladies, millionaires, schizophrenics, bishops, and gangsters – all blown into Miles life by the relentless force of her new-found calling. Here, in this beautiful, passionate book, is Christs living communion. Author Biography Sara Miles is the Director of Ministry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco, and the founder of The Food Pantry. A former reporter, she is the author of Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion and Jesus Freak: Feeding Healing Raising the Dead. Her latest book is City of God: Faith in the Streets.
