Synopsis

This is a collection of biblical tales related to the themes of feeding and meals, showing children that food, a powerful biblical metaphor for the Eucharist, is also vital for spiritual life. God's Word nourishes Christians, fortifies their lives, and speaks to them in the simple language of something that they need everyday: food. God is as near as the food people eat and share. With realistic illustrations that focus on children and the God-human connection, the book brings to life the biblical accounts of God as nourisher and provider. It aims to remind children that God speaks to them in their lives in ordinary ways: the things of nature and the things people need everyday. Through messengers, such as Moses, the prophets and Jesus, the Bible's feeding stories portray a loving and caring God who not only gives life but sustains people daily.
