The Sacred Meal

My complimentary book to read for review from BookSneeze was The Sacred Meal.
I had mixed emotions develop while reading this book.  Initially, I could tell it was coming from a liturgical point of view, something of which I don't adhere to.  Many times I disagreed with the author's philosophy and spiritual understanding.  Then the author, Nora Gallagher, would state a very poignant point that made me stop and ponder a bit.  Communion is a sacred act of worship commanded by Jesus.  How we participate and appreciate this act is personal and unique. 
Over all, it was a quick read, simplistic and detailed enough to be interesting, yet not boring.   I appreciate the difference of opinions and beliefs and was able to learn a bit more of the Episcopalian faith.  I think by reading this book it made me aware of my own treasures of the heart and what the Sacred Meal means to me.
