We all get hungry. Eventually, inevitably, we notice that we lack something, and we wonder how our needs will be met. At times others jump in to take care of us, but ultimately God is the one at work to provide for us behind the scenes.
This warm and down-to-earth book invites you to sit in on two of the most miraculous moments of human history, when one man took a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread and fed enormous crowds.
Meet the Jesus who dares us to ask him for our daily bread, who makes promises and keeps them, and who regularly does immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.
