Title: A Meal with Jesus: Discovering Grace, Community, and Mission around the Table Author: Tim Chester Narrator: Bruce Mann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 31 minutes Release date: February 18, 2020 Genres: Bibles & Biblical Studies Publisher's Summary: Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: 'Food connects.' Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological—an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, 'The meals of Jesus represent something bigger.' Six chapters in A Meal with Jesus show how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation, and promise. Moving from biblical times to the modern world, Chester applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality. He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping listeners consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.
