Author Emily T. Wierenga writes:
The gospel of God is the Bread of the Presence, and it reaches down into the deepest, darkest, ugliest recesses of the human spirit, the places polite chit-chat won't allow, the places watery juice doesn't open up, the places where crawfish and other creeping things of the swamps live. These are the places in which we run to the altar and find the bread, still warm. These are the places we begin to get full. Where our only food becomes God Himself.
And when you find Him, He will pull you close and feed you until you feast until you laugh until you cannot help but pull others close too.
The fed becomes the feeder.
God is Spirit is Roaring Lion is the Very Source of Everything, and we should shake. Even as demons do. Yet this same God has donned an apron and is preparing us a banquet.
In this absorbing literary memoir, Emily Wierenga, author of
Atlas Girl, draws you into her intricate and profound world, transporting you from memories of her painful past with anorexia and troubled relationships, to sacred moments as a wife and mother, to a fellowship of suffering in African villages. Her deepest hunger is satisfied by the
God Who Became Bread--who welcomes us all to His table so that He can fill us, and then, through us, satisfy the hunger of the world.
