    About this audiobook

    Join New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist as she offers an enchanting mix of funny and vulnerable storytelling in this collection of recipes and essays about the surprising and sacred things that happen when people gather around the table.

    Bread & Wine is a literary feast about the moments and meals that bring us together. With beautiful and evocative writing, Shauna celebrates the sweet and savory moments that happen when family and friends sit down together. She invites us to see how God teaches and feeds us even as we nourish the people around us, and she explores the ways that hunger, loneliness, and restlessness lead us back to the table again.

    Part cookbook and part spiritual memoir, Bread & Wine sheds light on:

    • How sharing food together mirrors the way we share our hearts with each other—and with God
    • What it means to follow a God who reveals His presence in breaking bread and passing a cup
    • What happens when we come together, slow down, open our homes, look into one another’s faces, and listen to one another’s stories

    A satisfying read for heart and body, you’ll want to keep Bread & Wine close at hand all year round. Recreate the meals that come to life in each essay with recipes for any occasion, from Goat Cheese Biscuits and Bacon-Wrapped Dates to Mango Chicken Curry and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Toffee.

    For anyone who has found themselves swapping stories over plates of pasta, sharing takeout on the couch, laughing over a burnt recipe, and lingering a little longer for one more bite, this book is for you.

      What We Bring To The Table

      Dec 28, 2021

      When a change in my father’s employment necessitated a move from the outskirts of New York City to a small town in rural Pennsylvania, my whole family became fish out of water. We adapted over time—some of us better than others—but moving from a huge

      I loved everything about this book. The style, the content, the author’s voice. I loved how the chapters were broken into manageable short stories, so I could read a bit, then pick it back up later without missing a beat. The author’s attitude about communion, community, and hospitality really resonated with me, as it’s something I’ve been thinking about on my own lately. I loved the voice of the book. I felt like I could just sit down at the kitchen table with the author for a chat and we’d be fast friends. I like that in a book.

      Some quotes I loved so much that I highlighted:

      “I know that there are people who see food primarily as calories, nutrients, complex bundles of energy for the whirring machines of our bodies. I know them, but they’re not my people. They’re in the same general category of people who wear sensible shoes and read manuals. Good people, but entirely foreign to me.”

      “The church is at its best, in my view, when it is more than a set of ideas and ideals, when it is a working, living, breathing, on-the-ground, in-the-mess force for good in our cities and towns.”

      “This is one of the many differences between our families of origin. His family believes in non-FDA-approved herbal supplements and the importance of spinal alignment. My family believes in Advil and the healing effects of both red wine and boating.”

      "My friend Shane says the genius of Communion, of bread and wine, is that bread is the food of the poor and wine the drink of the privileged, and that every time we see those two together, we are reminded of what we share instead of what divides us.”

      In addition to this being a jewel of a book, it is loaded with recipes at the end of nearly each chapter. Many I look forward to trying out! Read this soon. You won’t be sorry! It has inspired me to be more hospitable. 5 of 5 stars.

      Lovely, beautiful book about food, family, community, gratitude, and relationship with God. Fantastic book - gift worthy!

      I found this book to be slow. I read a couple chapters and put it down. It did not engage me.
