review 1: Tim Chester explains the significance of eating in ministry crystal clear. He attacks this topic from every angle and totally convinces us. Some of the points may have been pushing the agenda and you might disagree with them, but over all it is a great topical argument. I admit I was skeptical before reading this, but I know see how effective meals are in ministry and church life.You only need to read the first half or so.
