Inhaltsangabe

We are all hungry for something more.

Through daily devotions, inspiring stories, and simple recipes this book invites us to explore our deepest hunger and how it can be truly satisfied.

Across East Africa, poverty and malnutrition devastate young lives. Entire families commonly go to sleep hungry, surviving on one meal a day. For vulnerable kids, basic nutrition is often a matter of life or death. In many of our western communities, excess and indulgence can overfeed our bodies while starving our souls. Often entire families go to sleep feeling empty despite material wealth. Even though our plates are full, our hearts are unsatisfied.

But a different story is possible.

Each year individuals, families, and entire communities set aside the month of March (or the 40 days of Lent) to eat simple meals in solidarity with the poor. As inexpensive ingredients fill up our plates and shopping carts, we share the savings with hungry families on the other side of the world. In East Africa, children who suffered in hunger and isolation share nutritious meals with new friends. In the west, families step away from ease and comfort to find spiritual significance in a month of eating simply. All of us are learning to love in unique ways by sharing a common meal.

Welcome to a different story. Welcome to Rice & Beans Month!
