Feasting with God: Adventures in Table Spirituality

Feasting as community, celebration, and thanksgiving--this is the subject of Holly Whitcomb's joyful work. In each chapter of the two sections, Feasts and Culinary Interludes, Whitcomb provides a Christian theme on which the chapter is based, topics and questions for reflection and discussion, and mouth-watering recipes. Careful attention is also paid to creating an environment conducive to camaraderie and interaction. Don't worry about whether it is too much trouble for the host, though, as each feast is a potluck. Here are instructions for having your own miniretreat without ever leaving home.
