Review ex From Booklist: A self-proclaimed blue-state, secular-intellectual, lesbian, left-wing journalist with a strong skeptical streak, Miles was hardly a candidate for Christian conversion. Yet convert she did, wholeheartedly at age 46. For upon her first Communion (in an Episcopal church), everything changed (she still can't fully explain the feelings that arose during her first Communion). She realized that "what I'd been doing with my life all along was what I was meant to do: feed people" and started a food pantry in her gritty San Francisco neighborhood. The journey from skeptical secularist to devout Christian was long, complicated, and often convoluted (her parents were avid atheists), but the story she makes of it is engaging, funny, and highly entertaining, including many surprises as well as the occasional wrong turn. Incidentally, Miles comments, often with great insight, on the ugliness that many people associate with a particular brand of Christianity. Why would any thinking person become a Christian? is one of the questions she addresses, and her answer is also compelling reading.

Reader Review:
"I found this book very moving, and the author is truly inspirational. After taking her first communion as an adult here in San Francisco, Miles' soul was rocked and she realized her goal in life was to feed hungry people. Food had always been important in her life as a chef, then as a war reporter and later serving communion as a new Christian. Her next step was to found a food bank, the St. Gregory's Food Pantry in Potrero Hill - Laura Paige

NOTE: Books, Inc. bookstore will be offering copies of Miles' book for sale at this event.

Free (books offered for sale).
