About this ebook
Eating with More Intention, Compassion, and Gratitude
With the growing farm-to-table movement and increasing popularity of local farmers' markets, we are becoming more conscious of where our food originates.
In this spirituality of eating and food, Lisa Graham McMinn encourages readers to reflect on the realities of food today and understand how eating forms their souls inwardly, upwardly, and outwardly. McMinn celebrates the goodness of food in God's creation, offering practical guidance on what it means to eat alone or in community with more intention, compassion, humility, and gratitude. She also tells the story of food that occurs every year as it transitions from seed to table.
To the Table features sidebars containing gardening and food tips, recipes, and food preservation guides. End-of-chapter questions for individual and group use are included.
