Feasting on Hope Quotes

“Ultimately, our faith is not ordered toward the transaction of goods but toward the communion of persons.”
― Hannah Miller King, Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness

“Whether we gather for worship under the threat of persecution, in the fresh wake of a national tragedy, or in the quiet pain of personal loss, we gather as those with visceral awareness that the story of redemption isn't over yet. Our present pain teaches us to yearn more sincerely for the day when Jesus will set things right. In this way, unmet longings don't hinder our faith, they enhance it. They release us from the pressure to look or feel as if we've "arrived" at complete wholeness, and they increase our desire for the sustenance God has provided in the meantime.”
― Hannah Miller King, Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness
