There’s still time to visit today’s blog tour stop: OSV Daily Take, where Sarah Hayes is writing about my newest book, Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God<\/em>, and giving readers a chance to win a copy of the book and enter the raffle for the Williams-Sonoma $100 gift card.<\/p>\n

You can enter the raffle once every day by visiting the different blogs on the tour. The full schedule is HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Sarah had to say about Cravings<\/em>:<\/p>\n

If you are like me (and millions of Americans), you have made at least a vague resolution to eat healthier in 2013. Perhaps you also want to deepen the connection between your physical and spiritual lives.<\/p>\n

A new book \u2014 author and blogger Mary DeTurris Poust\u2019s \u201cCravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God\u201d (Ave Maria, $13.95) \u2014 can help you (and me) with those goals in a uniquely Catholic way. Poust, who has a regular “Foodie Friday” feature on her Not Strictly Spiritual blog, shares her personal journey with food \u2014 and those of other Catholics \u2014 to help readers understand how they can take a more balanced approach to eating. That includes reveling in a well-prepared feast with friends and family, as well as practicing the discipline of fasting, not to drop a few pounds but as a “simple act [that] can open us up in ways we never imagined.”<\/p>\n

As someone who has read many of the books that have come out in recent years about Americans and our relationship with food \u2014 from Michael Pollan\u2019s \u201cOmnivore\u2019s Dilemma\u201d to Barbara Kingsolver\u2019s \u201cAnimal, Vegetable, Miracle\u201d to Mark Bittman\u2019s \u201cFood Matters\u201d \u2014 I particularly like how \u201cCravings\u201d approaches eating from a Eucharistic vantage point. As Poust writes, \u201cWe eat of Communion so that we may live. We bless our spiritual food, say, ‘Amen,’ and silently reflect on the significance of what we have just consumed not only into our bodies but into our hearts. It is possible to give our everyday meals a similar sense of the sacred, thereby transforming food from something that fills us up into something that truly nourishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

One particularly insightful chapter looks at how monastics approach food in their communities… Continue reading HERE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
