Bake through the Bible: 20 fun cooking activities to explore the Bible story with young children by Susie Bentley-Taylor and Bekah Moore
http://www.thegoodbook.com/children/bake-through-the-bible

This new cookbook is not your average Betty Crocker spiral bound cooking guide.  Rather, this cookbook combines simple recipes that you can make with your children while exploring the biblical story that goes along with the recipe.  My 5 year old daughter and I made Creation cookies this week and had a blast doing it!  Rylee helped me pour the ingredients into a big bowl, roll the dough with a rolling pin, and decorate the cookies with sprinkles and candies.  We had a great time cooking including following the creation story of Genesis 1.

The cookbook has a great layout that combines a Scriptural retelling, a prayer, ingredients and equipment list, and step by step directions.  Included in the process is some questions to ask your children about the story to help them think through the meaning and apply God’s word to everyday situations.  What is amazing about this book also was the stunning pictures and images throughout the recipes.  I could really get a handle on what we were trying to make as I looked through the recipe.  Our cookies didn’t turn out to be in the best shapes since we had a limited amount of cookie cutters but they tasted great.  Even more, my daughter and I had a great conversation about all the things that God has made in his world.  Good times were had by all and we will certainly be using this cookbook throughout the year.

Thanks to Cross Focused Reviews and thegoodbook company for the copy of the book in exchange for review.

Here are some pictures of our journey in making the Creation cookies:

Saving Casper

Saving Casper: A Christian and an Atheist Talk about Why We Need to Change the Conversion Conversation by Jim Henderson and Matt Casper http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Casper-Christian-Conversion-Conversation/dp/1414364881 Many readers will quickly know the authors of this book from their previous release Jim and Casper Go to Church.  Jim and Matt’s new book entitled Saving Casper focuses on the way we talk about conversion in the church and the devastating ways we have pushed away atheists and other non-believers by our posture.  Both Jim and Matt traversed the national landscape, meeting in churches and asking hard questions about faith, conversion, and life. The basic premise of the book and travel is laid out here in their words, “Part of what Casper and I are trying to achieve when we speak to a group of Christians is to help people move a little bit on their “judgment meter.”  This capacity, while intellectually and often theologically uncomfortable,...

Essential Christian Doctrine

  Essential Christian Doctrine , General Editor John MacArthur Pastor John MacArthur has for years been teaching the Word of God in both pulpit ministry, books, and conferences with an aim to displaying God’s revelation to his listeners in a winsome and foundational manner.  This new book, Essential Christian Doctrine takes an entire life of teaching and preaching and encapsulates the main contours of the Christian faith for its readers.  John in a systematic way highlights the most necessary teachings from Scripture including God’s Word, the Trinity, while also including sections on Man and the Future. One of the most helpful ways the authors bring to light biblical truth and theology is the way in which they group together particular themes.  In the section on the Holy Spirit, instead of a complex discussion of personhood, word pictures of the Holy Spirit are introduced in a discernible and profitable manner.  The metaphors for the Holy Spirit include fir...

Wisdom for All

Interpreting the Wisdom Books: An Exegetical Handbook by Edward Custis Among the many wonderful books on the OT wisdom literature, this fine new book helps the reader interpret, exegete, and apply God’s Word to his people in succinct and helpful way.  The book is laid out nicely with bolded words that emphasize necessary themes in the study of the wisdom books and short chapters that get to the point of the biblical books.  This series of exegetical handbooks is a great treasure for students and pastors because it synthesizes much of the academic work on a biblical book into digestable portions helpful  for preaching and teaching. The opening chapter on the wisdom books brings out a helpful grid for understanding wisdom literature.  Custis writes, “Biblical wisdom, in contrast to Israel’s neighbors, reflects “Yahwistic theology” through its regular use of terms like “fear of the Lord,” its affirmation of God’s providence, and its recognition th...
