Tasting Grace: God’s Invitation Into Deeper Connection and Satisfied Hunger

The winner of Food Network Star season five and New York Times bestselling author of Ten Dollar Dinners shares how God used food to invite her into his love.

Stuck in a cycle of dieting and exercising, Melissa found that her real food struggle was rooted in her relationship with God. She set out on a journey to get back on track with God when it came to eating and how she felt about herself. She laid food, exercise, and body image issues squarely at God’s door and dove headfirst into his grace. As she prayed, read, studied Scripture, and listened she saw the invitations from God in the stories of her life.

Melissa realised that food is not an afterthought for God-it is central in so many key biblical moments and invites us into his creation. Likewise, food is at the forefront of our society, as a topic of conversation and in our daily routines. Filled with heartrending, hilarious, and eye-opening stories and anecdotes, Melissa shows us how food fuels far more than our bodies; it drives ministry and celebration, and connects us to one another and to God himself.
