Epic Food Fight A BiteSized History of SALVATION by Father Leo Patalinghug Paperback

Fr. Leo blends profound truths with humor and wit in a way that appeals to a wide cross-section of Catholics. In this new book, Fr. Leo goes beyond an explanation of how eating together builds stronger families to probe more deeply into the theological aspects of food.

Following the example of Jesus Christ, whose miracles and teachings often involved food, Fr. Leo explains salvation history by what he calls a Òtheology of foodÓÑthere is a godly logic to every bite we take. He shows how the devil seeks to poison GodÕs children from within, getting them to ÒdigestÓ his lies by taking what is harmful and making it look beautiful and edible. This cosmic struggle between good and evil can be seen as an Òeternal food fightÓ between God and the devil.

With Fr. Leo, theologyÑas well as the subject of foodÑis never boring. In simple, practical ways, you are invited to read, savor, chew on, and digest theological concepts you might never have understood before.

ÒYou are what you eat! Your mind, heart, and soul are capable of digesting GodÕs Word, especially as it becomes flesh to dwell among us.Ó
