Description

Kat Davies is suddenly wondering if her good deed was a bad idea. Kat may be new in her faith, but she's embraced the more radical implications of Christianity with reckless abandon. She invited Rochelle-a homeless mother-and her son to move in the apartment she shares with two other housemates. And she's finally found a practical way to channel her passion for healthy eating by starting a food pantry at the church. Her feelings for Nick are getting harder to ignore. The fact that he's the interning pastor at Souled Out Community Church and one of her housemates makes it complicated enough. But with Rochelle showing interest in Nick as a father-figure for her son, their apartment is feeling way too small. But not everyone thinks the food pantry is a good idea. When the woman she thought would be her biggest supporter just wants to "pray about it," Kat is forced to look deeper at her own motives. Only when she begins to look past the surface does she see people who are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink and realizes the deeper significance of inviting them to "come to the table." ". . . The plot and characters remain fresh and vibrant, shining spiritual truth from each page." -Romantic Times TOP PICK for Stand by Me.… (more)

who had been estranged from them and living on the streets until she was found in an earlier story. So our apartment dwellers are Chicago Christa University students Bree, Kat and Nick, plus Rochelle and her son Conny.

The story is fun and easy to read, with budding love interests, Nick starting work as a pastoral intern at SouledOut Community Church, and Kat's drive to teach nutrition blooming into a God-led desire to feed people. As always in Jackson's work, the Christian element is well integrated into the story and very strong - it's one of the most inviting parts of her work for me.
