Overview
Our world is growing more connected and disconnected at the same time. Political polarization and social media algorithms push us into echo chambers while globalization and freedom of movement puts us shoulder to shoulder with more diverse people than ever. This creates confusion and guardedness, but also opportunity. Civil, honest, thoughtful conversation among diverse viewpoints is more vital than ever. As this marketplace of ideas is created, the gospel of Jesus Christ can shine brightly as a beacon of hope and reason that draws hungry people to God.
The Gospel According to Food equips anyone to create these spaces of meaningful engagement, offering stunning and delicious recipes to satiate palates and conversational templates to satiate souls. Each of the over 40 recipes is an “edible metaphor” opening the door for exploration of topics like the meaning of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection; the ubiquity of hypocrisy; the universal experiences of pain, nostalgia, and longing; and the radical reality of God’s amazing grace.
With beautiful photography and inspiring writing, this one-of-a-kind cookbook will be a standout on anyone’s coffee table or kitchen counter. Push yourself as a cook and open your heart and home to friends, family, neighbors, and more with The Gospel According to Food!
