It opens in a garden and ends in a feast. Records of the early church suggest that believers met for worship primarily through eating meals. Over time, though, churches have lost focus on the centrality of food — and with it a powerful tool for unifying Christs diverse body.But today a new movement is under way, bringing Christians of every denomination, age, race, and sexual orientation together around dinner tables.

Laura E. Everett -- author of Holy Spokes "We Will Feast reminds us that to ignore food is to ignore Gods provision for our life and the flourishing of community. I finished this book more committed to and more hopeful for a church where all are fed." -- Rev. Laura E.

"In her examination of the dinner-church movement, Kendall Vanderslice treats us to the written equivalent of a pleasant, nourishing meal. Shes good, thoughtful company, and she sets a generous, inclusive table. Crucially, she reminds us that food and the table and the feast arent just evocative metaphors or stirring biblical imagery. We need them--and we need each other--to live." Melissa dArabian -- author and Food Network star "A balm to the souls of readers who might be wondering how they can be a part of a kind of church that brings meals out of the afterthought space and straight into the heart of worship."

Sarah Arthur -- Sycamore Creek Church "This book is like the meals Kendall writes about: simple, communal, generous, and satisfying. But like the best meals--like the Eucharist itself--it leaves you longing to repeat it over and over again."
