内容简介:
Early one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised
an atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and found
herself transformed–embracing a faith she’d once scorned. A lesbian
left-wing journalist who’d covered revolutions around the world,
Miles didn’t discover a religion that was about angels or good
behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food,
and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at
communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to be
given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had
started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their
city.
Take This Bread is rich with real-life
Dickensian characters–church ladies, millionaires, schizophrenics,
bishops, and thieves–all blown into Miles’s life by the relentless
force of her newfound calling. Here, in this achingly beautiful,
passionate book, is the living communion of Christ.
“The most amazing book.”
–Anne Lamott
“Engaging, funny, and highly entertaining . . . Miles comments,
often with great insight, on the ugliness that many people
associate with a particular brand of Christianity. Why would any
thinking person become a Christian? is one of the questions she
addresses, and her answer is also compelling reading.”
–Booklist
“Powerful . . . This book is a gem [and] will remain with you
forever.”
–The Decatur Daily
“What Miles learns about faith, about herself and about the gift of
giving and receiving graciously are wonderful gifts for the
reader.”
–National Public Radio
“[A] joyful memoir . . . advocates big-tent Christianity in the
truest sense . . . a story of finding sustenance and passing it
on.”
–National Catholic Reporter
“Rigorously honest, Take This Bread demonstrates how
hard–and how necessary–it is to welcome everyone to the table,
without exception.”
–San Francisco Chronicle
“Moving, delightful and significant.”
–The Christian Century

Where is it written that literary women must move to coastal
California (if they don't already live there), become Episcopalians
and write conversion memoirs? Miles, like recent memoirists Diana
Butler Bass, Nora Gallagher and Lindsey Crittenden, loves Jesus and
detests the religious right, though she is also critical of "the
sappy, Jesus-and-cookies tone of mild-mannered liberal
Christianity." Mild-mannered she is not. Converted at age 46 when
she impulsively walked into a church and received communion for the
first time, the former war correspondent suddenly understood her
life's mission: to feed the hungry. What her parish needed, she
decided, was a food pantry—and within a year (and over opposition
from some fellow parishioners) she had started one that offered
free cereal, fruit and vegetables to hundreds of San Francisco's
indigent every Friday. Not willing to turn anyone away, she raised
funds and helped set up other food pantries in impoverished areas,
occasionally "crossing the line from self-righteous do-gooder to
crusading zealot." For Miles, Christianity "wasn't an argument I
could win, or even resolve. It wasn't a thesis. It was a mystery
that I was finally willing to swallow." Grittier than many
religious memoirs, Miles's story is a perceptive account of one
woman's wholehearted, activist faith. (Feb. 20)
