Own Your Space: Attainable Room-By-Room Decorating Tips for Renters and Homeowners by Alexandra Gater
5.0
Excellent, adorable, practical guide to making your space your own whatever your style or budget. Alexandra's YouTube channel is great and this book is a wonderful reflection and celebration of her learning and expertise. This will become my go-to gift for people moving into their first spaces of their own.
By Bread Alone: A Baker's Reflections on Hunger, Longing, and the Goodness of God by Kendall Vanderslice, Peter Reinhart
4.0
This was an enjoyable memoir, although it's very similar to Bread & Wine by Shauna Niequist. I liked the different bread recipes and really loved the liturgy for bread making in the appendix. I've been enjoying the content from Vanderslice on the Edible Theology Project.
"Eating has the power to forge community and shape our identity. At best food fosters a sense of belonging among those who eat in similar ways, a reminder that our longing for community and our need for food go hand in hand. For most of history, eating has been tied to cultural or religious identity, but even without those underpinnings, we manage to create our own new dietary identities . Paleo. Keto. Vegan. The list goes on. At worst, though, food can mark a form of social isolation. Whether the family diet sparks criticism from classmates or allergies prevent us from sharing a meal with others, food is also a reminder that God’s good creation has been marred."
"I didn’t need to chase after 'feeling God' or discerning God’s will to know that I remained within the fold. I just needed to walk forward , hands extended, and taste the Bread on my tongue, feel it slide down my throat, and let it settle into my belly. In doing so, I was binding myself to this community, and they in turn were binding themselves to me."
