Meals are an important part of hospitality and can be used to foster grace in our communities. Chester draws from six narratives in the Gospel of Luke to urge sacrificial giving and loving around the table.

Short review: Interesting concept, looking at the different ways the meal is important to Christianity. The best chapters were on meals as missional activity and meals as grace. The discussion on Jesus as seen through Luke was also good. The book just seemed to be missing something though. And I am not sure what. I think we should think about meals and our intention with people well. I think that scripture wants us to focus on people, I think that the eucharist says something spiritually and physically important. But I still felt this book was a little flat. Maybe it was just me.
