by L. Shannon Jung ✦ Review by David Lorimer, December 2006
This book is the sequel to the author's 'Food for Life: the spirituality and ethics of eating'. It claims to be a Christian guide to a more abundant life, and it does provide an unusual perspective on food and its enjoyment. Themes include sharing in hospitality, feasting in community, the forgotten practice of preparing food, the nature of fasting and the need to honour the body in the pursuit of health. Christian symbolism dictates that the Lord's supper is at the heart of the sacraments, which should encourage people to unify body and spirit. The book will be of general interest to all those concerned with the spirituality of food and encourages the reader to view daily life as a sacrament.
