The One Loaf: An Everyday Celebration - Joy Mead

An exploration of the making and mystery of bread - from growng to sharing - in story and recipe, poetry and prayer. In bread we see the true connectedness of all life - the uniting of body and soul, spirit and material. It is not just a symbol of life itself. Without food, life is impossible, so eating becomes sacred. Take and eat means take and live; to share food is to share our life. Jesus, in simple act, made eating and sharing sacred. This book helps us to love the 'dailiness' of bread, the holiness of eating and the justice of sharing.
