Come and Eat: A Celebration of Love and Grace Around the Everyday Table

Bri McKoy. Thomas Nelson, $16.99 trade paper (224p) ISBN 978-0-7180-9061-6

Practical tips fill McKoy’s gracious debut, an ode to food and spiritual community. McKoy, the founder of the food blog Our Savory Life and leader of the Christian mission-oriented blogging network Compassion International, expresses a deep desire to live out a Christian faith with integrity and purpose. Upbeat chapters rotate among stories, recipes, table prayers, and questions for discussion, all of which will inspire readers to bring these practices into their daily lives. This work will especially appeal to readers who are eager to make mealtime an opportunity to dig deeper into their Christian faith and to share food and faith with others. Making the table a welcoming space rather than just a platform for food is a thread that runs through anecdotes and recipes; readers looking for comment or direction on food choice as an act of faith will be disappointed. Cheerful and big-hearted, McKoy’s book reminds readers of the power in the act of sharing food. (Sept.)
