My Review:
I was really amazed at the beauty contained in this book. Not only are there recipes, prayers, scriptures from the Bible in this book but some of the best pictures I have seen in quite a long time. The author wants our home to reflect God. And she goes about showing you how to do just that. Even if you decide not to use this in the kitchen because you are afraid to mess up the pages it would make a great coffee table book. The book is large in diameter so it would be a perfect book for that purpose. The author has even went to the extra trouble of providing menus to go along with the recipes she has included therein.
If you like to entertain and are looking for some inspiration than this is the book for you. Benita Long has went about and paired together some tasty fixings for anyone's tastes. She has included menus for several different types of meals for example: luncheons, festive occasions, international cuisine, and house guests. And to go right along with any meal you need a prayer or like we say in our home a blessin'. Benita also included some of those. This book has the perfect balance of Christian hospitality meets the harried homemaker. It crosses the divide and brings us to a place of beautiful simplicity. This book will NOT leave you disappointed.
