Broken Bread

“It’s easy to spot our cultural obsession with food. We have TV shows featuring cooking competitions, documentaries explaining the hidden dangers in our food, and bookstores packed with every type of cookbook situated alongside the latest and greatest lifestyle diet books. In her new book, Broken Bread: How to Stop Using Food and Fear to Fill Spiritual Hunger, Tilly Dillehay considers how our various sin struggles with food—from gluttony to snobbery—can overflow in guilt, judgement, anxiety, or pride as we contemplate a simple question: What’s for dinner? She writes with conviction and compassion as she directs our eyes to a better and more-needed spiritual feast—one truly able to satisfy and sustain our daily lives.”
—Melissa Kruger, TGC Director of Women’s Initiatives and author of Growing Together

“This is a book Christian women need––at least the ones who eat food. Tilly helps us see that food idolatry comes in more than one form. She carefully helps us diagnose our sin problem regarding food, and she then points us to food’s rightful place and purpose in our lives. Read this book if you want to have peace with God and peace with what you eat.”
—Abigail Dodds, author of (A)Typical Woman and contributor at Desiring God

“Broken Bread is an intelligent and biblical discussion of food issues. It’s a massive table covered with dishes of wisdom right out of the oven, which are enhanced with the brown gravy of good sense and set out before an emaciated people who have been suffering through a famine.”
—Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho
