Take This Bread: A Radical ConversionEarly one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised an atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and found herself transformed embracing a faith she'd once scorned. A lesbian left wing journalist who'd covered revolutions around the world, Miles didn't discover a religion that was about angels or good behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food, and real bodies.

Early one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised an atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and found herself transformed-embracing a faith she'd once scorned. A lesbian left-wing journalist who'd covered revolutions around the world, Miles didn't discover a religion that was about angels or good behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food, and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church's altar to be given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their city.Take This Bread is rich with real-life Dickensian characters-church ladies, millionaires, schizophrenics, bishops, and thieves-all blown into Miles's life by the relentless force of her newfound calling. Here, in this achingly beautiful, passionate book, is the living communion of Christ. "The most amazing book."
-Anne Lamott "Engaging, funny, and highly entertaining . . . 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."
-Booklist
"Powerful . . . This book is a gem and] will remain with you forever."
-The Decatur Daily "What Miles learns about faith, about herself and about the gift of giving and receiving graciously are wonderful gifts for the reader."
-National Public Radio " A] joyful memoir . . . advocates big-tent Christianity in the truest sense . . . a story of finding sustenance and passing it on."
-National Catholic Reporter "Rigorously honest, Take This Bread demonstrates how hard-and how necessary-it is to welcome everyone to the table, without exception."
-San Francisco Chronicle "Moving, delightful and significant."
-The Christian Century Don't miss the reading group guide in the back of the book.

Decent Suit, But the Sizing Is Way Off
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I really wanted to like this suit because the material and overall look are actually pretty decent for the price. The jacket and vest fit about how I expected for an XXL—no complaints there. But the pants? I swear they could fit a small horse.
I ordered the WULFUL Men’s 3-Piece Slim Fit Suit in Black, XX‑Large, and the pants that came with it were massive. They’re supposed to be part of a “slim fit” set, but the waist and leg width are so oversized that I have no idea what size they were aiming for. It honestly feels like they just toss in whatever pants are nearby.
If you’re buying this suit, be prepared for a trip to the tailor… or to exchange the whole thing. The suit itself is okay, but the sizing consistency is terrible.

Good quality suit, but size up.
The suit seemed was very good quality. It was too small, so size up. We had to send it back, but the refund process was very simple and easy! Thank you for the easy transaction!
