Break Bread Together

Discover how the example of the Last Supper can help you uncover the secrets of true friendship.

Surrounded by people, yet feeling alone. This describes how many of us live, yearning for deeper relationships. Our desire to know others, and to be known by them in the same way, goes unfulfilled. This longing for intimacy and the community of true friendship is rooted in our very nature. Yet the number of shallow social interactions that we pour ourselves into on a daily basis ends up consuming our time and drawing us further away from the very type of community and friendships we need.

Break Bread Together will show you how to change these destructive patterns and nurture true community. Join Jessica as she guides you through Jesus’s last meal with his disciples. See how he cultivated these friendships and how you can develop new ways of bonding with your friends by following Jesus’s example. Through Scripture and personal stories, Jessica will show you how to gather as friends, to break bread together, and to open your heart to the life-giving friendships around you.

“In this over-connected world, we long for friendships that go beyond platitudes, passing niceties, and empty offers to ‘get together sometime,’ yet we’re also too old to pass a note saying “Will you be my friend?” By inviting us to join Jesus and his disciples at the Passover supper, Jessica Herberger offers us a biblical roadmap to discovering true friendship and building our own life-giving Breaking Bread Community. This book changed how I view friendship in general, but more importantly, how I view my own friendships.”
—Niki Hardy, church planter and author of Breathe Again

“Jessica is a new friend for me, but her words connect me to my oldest and dearest friend, Jesus. For the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with the Last Supper and the last few hours of Jesus’s life, and this incredible book helped shine more light on how this meal can still shift everything for us today. Grab this book, grab your friends, get around a table, and let it change your life.”
—Jess Connolly, author of You Are the Girl for the Job and Take It Too Far

Jessica is relatable and wise, and Break Bread Together will spur you towards togetherness in a way that your heart desperately needs!”
