About this ebook

 What does our Catholic faith teach us about eating well? Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview the supernatural gift of God’s grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share.

Ratings and reviews

Variety of topics from fasting to hospitality to food as a gift from God, all written clearly and with balance. Fun side bars, receipes, and helpful references for further reading. Highly recommend book with insights our society much needs.

Great insights.
