come and eat -- a book review

Bri McKoy's Come and Eat: A Celebration of Love and Grace around the Everyday Table is a delightful read that brings together rich reflections about hospitality in every day life with a beautiful recipe collection.  If you're one of those who loves to host dinner gatherings -- or would like to be -- this is the book for you.

In each of the chapters, McKoy shares something we should bring to the table while also sharing about different tables we encounter in our lives.  Some tables are full of joy while others may be painful.  She writes with such grace that her own stories become templates for the stories of our lives.

Tables are meant for welcoming, McKoy reminds us -- and it doesn't matter if those are simple or extravagant tables.  They simply need to be hospitable ones.

It's the 21 day recipe challenge at the end of the book that makes my mouth water at the possibilities.
