review 1: Although definitely not as powerful as her first work, Take This Bread, Sara Miles' passionate love of God still leaps off the page, as does her passion for serving him by serving others--for her there is no distinction between handing out groceries to a woman at a food pantry and handing out groceries to Jesus himself (who she lovingly refers to as "the Boyfriend"). The message of these essays is that God has given us the power to feed, heal, forgive, raise the dead, and show compassion and mercy, even in our brokenness and our imperfection and even as we struggle. Even though I am not a Christian, Miles' approach to faith and to Christianity is galvanizing and inspiring.
review 2: "Feed my people" isn't just a saying of Jesus found in the New Testament - it's... more an admonition for us to to ensure all God's people are provided for. Sara Miles has devoted much of her life to this, and this book tells part of her story. Sometimes funny and sometimes sad, this book is at all times a look at how to accept the challenge Christ has laid before us and work to care for the afflicted, the ill, the downtrodden, the lonely, the abused. Throughout it all, Miles continually sees the face of God in those she serves - and they no doubt see God's face in hers. A wonderful, uplifting, emotional, and challenging book - highly recommended. less
