This vignette is a beautiful exercise that encourages readers to reflect on their current relationship with God, and by extension, themselves. Christina’s storytelling ability shines through her skilled use of imagery, and it allows Bread to excel at telling one of mankind’s oldest, most shared stories in an immensely immersive way—one that seems impossible with its brevity.

Creative humor and timely nods to contemporary values takes readers on a smooth journey between archaic and modern worlds; a modern world familiar to all readers, and a sometimes-intimidating Old World that Christina makes consumable for those who may not be as familiar with It.

Bread takes a text meant to be infinitely translated, and contributes to its purpose by retelling a moment, in a way that retains the emotional weight of the entire text from which it came. Bread is less interpretive, more creative demonstration; it’s less instructive, more encouraging of self-reflection.

Read it; consume Bread!
