In this one woman’s story we are invited to explore our own relationships with God and the how we live our faith in ways that change us as we seek to make change in the world. Take This Bread is a beautifully written story of unexpectedly meeting God in the midst of an ordinary, non-religious life and embracing that grace in ways that are truly transformative.

Here she tells how the seeds of her conversion were sown, and what her life has been like since she took that bread: as a lesbian left-wing journalist, religion for her was not about angels or good behavior or piety.
The sacrament of communion has sustained Miles ever since, in a faith she'd scorned, in work she'd never imagined. "I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian," she writes, "or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut." But she ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed. Then early one morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life.
