Take This Bread by Sara Miles
The story of an unexpected and terribly inconvenient Christian conversion, told by a very unlikely convert, Take This Bread tells the story of a restaurant cook and writer who wandered into a church and found herself transformed, setting up a food pantry around the same altar where she first received the body of Christ.
‘The finest confession of faith I’ve read in years. . . This is the kind of book I would wish to write, were I wise enough or skilled enough or candid enough to do so.’ -- Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours and former religion editor for Publishers Weekly
‘Energized . . .. [There are] many tasty morsels in this surprising book.’ * O: The Oprah Magazine *
‘A memoir that blew me away . . . I am going to foist this on every single hard-core left-wing religious nut I know. And make no mistake: there are many of us.’ -- Anne Lamott * Time *
‘Not since I read The Seven Story Mountain by Thomas Merton, or Augustine’s Confessions, have I read such a powerful autobiographical account. This book is a gem. . . . How this story ends will remain with you forever.’ * The Decatur Daily *
