Among the Pots and Pans

In Among the Pots and Pans, Alex Early expertly presents recipes full of passion and soul and spirit. One aspect of this book I admire so much is its insistence that cooking is an activity that constantly brings us closer to family and friends. Alex's heart behind this is one that beats in rhythm with my own. This is exactly the reason why so many of us food lovers love food—it creates more time to spend with those we adore, and simultaneously makes the most of that very time.

Bon Appetit! I never thought I would use those words to recommend a book of theology, but they are appropriate for Alex Early’s book, Among the Pots and Pans. This book is wonderful! It’s painfully honest and fun. It’s also biblically informative, doctrinally correct, and theologically insightful. Mix all of that with recipes and wonderful pictures, and you’ll find yourself hungry for food—and for grace and a deeper relationship with the One who cooked breakfast for his disciples and passed the bread and wine at the last supper. Read this book and share it with your friends.

I have been shaped in many ways by Alex's intense empathy for others and his sensitivity to God's presence. He's also one of the funniest people I know. He’s never cooked me anything other than ramen noodles, but he's taught me so much about God. This book is uniquely and wonderfully reflective of my friend.
