Invitations to Abundance

How the Feasts of the Bible Nourish Us Today

By: Alicia J. Akins

Narrated by: Madeline McCray

What do the feasts of the Bible reveal about our place in today's tired world? In short, everything.

From Genesis through Revelation, redemptive history is captured through feasts. Through them, God calls his people to commemorate mercy, delight in grace, and commune with him and with each other. In the process, he proves he doesn't ration his rich, soul-satisfying love toward us, but instead lets it overflow.

Invitations to Abundance brings to life the festivities described in the Bible and illuminates how relevant they remain in a modern world defined by isolation and disillusionment. When your heart needs encouragement, these wondrous celebrations remind you why, where, and how you can find security, unity, and hope.

Each chapter seats us at a unique feast from Scripture—from the well-known to the less familiar—and considers how you can respond worshipfully as a partaker of these celebrations. Invitations to Abundance shows you how to reciprocate God's initiating kindness and what it means to live knowing God's table is spread before you.

Helpful Book, Unhelpful Narration

I loved listening to how the feasts all tie into God’s invitation for me to sit at His table and find all nourishment and satiation there. But this narrator was over reading. Her paused and cadence were just UGH. She made it painful to trudge through a book that otherwise, would’ve been a delightful, sumptuous meal.
