About this Event

Paul Durbin will speak about and sign his new book, When Jesus Stole My Bread, on Tuesday, July 14th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.


About the Book:

When Jesus Stole My Bread is a work of biblical fiction that unfolds like a parable—warm, unhurried, and quietly life-changing. The story begins with Emet—now a grandfather who runs the family bakery—tending the shop with his grandson.

Emet has never forgotten the day his bread was multiplied, but as much as he loves that story, it's not his favorite bread story. His favorite is the one most people overlook—the warning Jesus gave His disciples on a boat crossing a lake: "Watch out for the yeast."

What did Jesus mean? Over the course of one morning in a small first-century bakery, Emet explains it to his grandson Hanan using a simple grid scratched into the surface of their wooden workbench—four squares, three types of yeast, and one bread that changes everything. And right on cue, three customers walk through the door—each one a living picture of exactly what Emet is describing.

This is a book about the tension every follower of Jesus feels—pulled toward rules on one side, toward anything-goes on the other, and never quite sure how to hold Grace and Truth together at the same time.

Through the smell of fresh bread and the wisdom of a grandfather, When Jesus Stole My Bread shows you what it looks like to live at the intersection of Grace and Truth—not as opposites, not as a compromise, but as the two things Jesus was always full of, simultaneously and completely.
