At first when I ordered this book I thought it would center in on the Communion meal of the Last Supper. Boy and I happy that I was wrong. Chester works through six different meals that Jesus had and unpacks a variety of topics for the reader to ponder. Things like grace, community, hope, mission, salvation and promise and how the meal is a spring board into each of them, and also a fantastic vehicle to share them with the world. In the book Chester also challenges the reader on things with questions on the way we use food, view food, the selection of the people at our tables (or not at our tables) and the use of meals in the context of ministry. This was great read, not a hard one, or a long one, but a book that challenged me afresh in every chapter! Highly Recommend this book, it will challenge the way you think about, view and ultimately how you enjoy food and the people around the table at which you sit!

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.
