"In this beautiful meditation, weaving together her experience as an Anglican priest and the pain and hope she's met in her own life, Hannah Miller King helps us understand why the Eucharist has always been central for Christian worship. It is a meal that teaches us to live in the in-between, where joy and sorrow are indissolubly bound together. This is a book that rewards slow and attentive reading and revisiting. Highly recommended!"

"Writing from a deeply personal space, Hannah Miller King explores the beauty and significance of the Lord's Supper as a place of hope and encounter. She weaves in the profound significance of Jesus' embodiment-and our own-for the Lord's Supper and Christian community. With words of grace and hope, she shows how abundance, hospitality, and courage all flow from this sacrament. In the end, she presents the Lord's Supper as the anticipation of our deep longing to be truly home-the home that awaits us when we at last see the Lord face-to-face. This book is an invitation to the feast of weekly communion as well as the feast of seeing its profound significance for all believers. I warmly recommend this book to all who are hungry and long to be fed."
