Where our only food becomes God Himself.\n.\nIn this memoir described as “poetic, raw, and achingly beautiful,” Emily T. Wierenga takes readers on a vulnerable literary journey.\n\nA former anorexic who nearly starved to death, Emily longed for more—the more she’d glimpsed during her childhood in the Congo, surrounded by vibrant faith. All she had now was dry religion. She craved a Communion that was more than an empty ritual.\n\nIt would be Emily’s return to Africa that would bring her healing. Unexpectedly, it would be the poorest of the poor who would lead her there. Emily exchanged her deep struggles with food for a growing discovery that the God of inapproachable light “dons an apron and prepares us a banquet.”\n\nAll who are broken—come to the table. Break bread with Emily, and feast on the God Who Became Bread. You will never go hungry again.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CLHTKWJJ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CLHTKWJJ.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wierenga, Emily T.|Speake, Wendy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722439757885,"sku":"BVV.B0CLHTKWJJ.VG","price":6.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0CLHTKWJJ-0_25e7ce12-201c-408c-b988-38906cdc8086.jpg?v=1763240400","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/god-who-became-bread-a-true-story-of-starving-feasting-and-feeding-others-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
