About Sara Miles
Sara Miles, founder and director of The Food Pantry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco, is the author of Take This Bread, Jesus Freak, and City of God. Miles was a forty-something atheist when she wandered into St. Gregory's and ate a piece of bread and took a sip of wine that changed her life. Since her radical conversion, she has created a food ministry that serves thousands, and she speaks, preaches, and leads workshops around the country. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker, and on National Public Radio.
