Review:
"Authentic spirituality and religious community may well begin at home. Perhaps it even begins at table where we share good food. How else can we 'know him' but in the 'breaking of the bread'? With family meal time now an endangered practice and individual grazing the current trend, this book invites us back to gathering around the table in gratitude and awareness of God's good gifts. The table blessings offered here echo the Scripture readings of the season and point us into the mystery of the time we celebrate. In this manner of praying to the author of all, we take nothing for granted: not the fruits of the earth, not the weather, not those who labor to bring us these things, nor the cook who sits with us at the table!"
