Have we forgotten that faith and food belong together? From Genesis to Revelation, God provides food for His people to eat. Regardless of age or ethnicity, gender or class, we all share the same God-given physical and spiritual hunger. When we come together to eat, we discover our shared humanity and find our spiritual as well as our physical needs can be met. From a BAFTA award-winning writer to a former Hindu priest, and from a poetic schoolgirl to a celebrity chef, *Simply Eat* is an inspirational collection of stories and recipes celebrating the power of food and faith. ![Simply Eat Cover](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Simply Eat Cover](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) Colourful and creative, this book exquisitely reveals all God can do when we simply eat! *Simply Eat* is a joint initiative between the South Asian Forum and Great Commission from the Evangelical Alliance in partnership with Interserve, London City Mission, All Nations, and the Diocese of Birmingham.
