Kristi McLelland’s invitation to feast on God’s Word doesn’t fully satisfy

Kristi McLelland’s new book Feasting on God’s Word uses the metaphor of a feast to explore scripture. While the book offers some helpful insights, structural issues and an uneven focus weaken its overall impact, says Nike Aremu

Kristi McLelland’s Feasting on God’s Word invites readers to explore scripture by using the metaphor of a feast.

“The Scriptures are a feast. They are meant to be experienced, taken into our hearts and lives as we trust they will do their work in us,” writes McLelland. 

Her book focuses on encouraging spiritual growth by deepening one’s relationship with the Bible. It broadly fits into two genres: Christian Living and Inspirational and Motivational, offering readers practical guidance on how to weave faith into everyday life, while also providing encouragement, hope, and a renewed perspective on their walk with God.
