Life Lessons from the Table: Recipes to Feed the Body, Stories to Nourish Your Soul by M. Dudley Rose, pastor, McDonough Presbyterian Church.

An amateur cook, Dudley Rose has long wanted to write about scripture’s teaching on hospitality, especially as they relate to meals recorded in the Bible. In this, his first book, he draws on experiences at the range and oven and gatherings over food at home and church, transforming them into lessons for living as followers of Jesus. Amply illustrated with insights from both contemporary and ancient sources, his book is a relaxed, sometimes lighthearted read.
