Tilly Dillehay, a Christian Book Award winner, addresses the burden food has in people’s lives and offers advice on how to approach food in her new book Broken Bread: Feasting in an Age of Fussiness.
Dillehay identifies the four approaches to food as asceticism, gluttony, snobbery and apathy. These food categories are the various attempts to use physical food to satiate spiritual hunger. Broken Bread is Dillehay’s story of the freedom, growth and joy that she has found by drawing nearer to God and no longer letting food be an idol in her life.
