Book Description from Goodreads:
We all have this in common: We get hungry. Inevitably, we eventually notice something we lack, and we wonder how we're going to get our needs met. And then sometimes we notice that someone else has already taken care of our needs. And then sometimes we notice that the One who is taking care of our needs is God.

This warm and down-to-earth book invites you to sit in on one of the most miraculous moments of human history, when one Man took a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread and fed an entire village. Meet the Jesus who dares you to ask Him to give you each day your daily bread, who makes promises and keeps them, and who does immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine on a regular basis.


My Review:
Fish Sandwiches looks closely at what the Gospels say when describing how Jesus miraculously fed 5000 people with bread and fish. The author looked at different aspects brought out by the gospel authors, like the fact that Jesus had compassion, gave provision, did a miracle, involved his disciples, that the people ate until satisfied, how God multiplies what we offer to him, and how Jesus is the true bread of life. The author pointed out things like other instances where God or Jesus shows compassion to the hungry, sick, poor, orphans, widows, outsiders, and sinners. He applied the lessons learned from the feeding of the 5000 to our lives today. The author had a casual, conversational tone and was easy to understand and follow. He made good points, and I'd recommend this comforting and interesting study.
