Jesus, Bread, and Chocolate

Christian Living

“Essential items are mere commodities in our mass-market culture, and we often miss out on the vitality and art that consumerism trades in for ease and comfort. This neutering of the nutrients isn’t just confined to the food industry, but as John Thompson points out, it is affecting our lives of faith. While looking into the worlds of handcrafted bread, chocolate, beer, music, and more, Thompson helps us realize that our relationship with God may be “enriched” with nonvital elements that take away the satisfaction we yearn for. If you want a primer of the inner workings of an organic faith that is impacted by artisans and practitioners from other walks of handcrafted life, I doubt you’ll find a better book than Jesus, Bread, and Chocolate.”
