Book SynopsisThe winner of The Next Food Network Star season five and New York Times best-selling author of Ten Dollar Dinners shares how God used food to invite her into His love.It wasn''t until Melissa d''Arabian evaluated her relationship with food in light of her relationship with God that she began to appreciate food as not only a gift from him but also as a deeper invitation into his love. As she prayed, studied Scripture, and reflected on the stories from her own life, Melissa saw how God had used food to draw her into community, to redeem her moments of greatest tragedy, and ultimately to connect her more to him.In Tasting Grace, Melissa shares sixteen invitations that will transform your perception of food and the role it plays in your own life, from equality to connection to hospitality to stewardship and more. She explains how through her experiences, she learned to trust the ingredients--in recipes and in life--and join God in the act of creation.Whether you are a mom struggling to throw together a healthy meal for your family each night or a single woman longing for fellowship around your table, you will draw encouragement and inspiration from Melissa''s reminder that all food, first and foremost, is a gift from God. When you return to him as the source, you will find the freedom to enjoy his beautiful and delicious creation.Advance praise for Tasting Grace“What a beautiful book. Using stories of her own triumphs and pain, Melissa digs past the surface layers of food as we see it on television, in cookbooks, and on social media. Rather, she helps us think about it in a whole new way—as nothing short of a spiritual force, a vessel through which we can experience (and extend) compassion, comfort, fellowship, love, enjoyment, and grace. It has given me a brand-new lens with which to examine the deeper significance of the food I cook, eat, and share.”—Ree Drummond, author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks“The intersection between faith and food is endlessly interesting to me, and Melissa articulates the significance and beauty of that intersection so well.  Melissa is a great storyteller, and she invites us into her story and gives us a seat at her table with graciousness and wisdom. This is a lovely, meaningful book.”—Shauna Niequist, New York Times best-selling author of Present Over Perfect and Bread and Wine“This is a beautifully written book. These aren’t just words on pages; they are an invitation to a feast, to hospitality, and to finding lasting purpose in your life. Melissa has set a table fit for a King, pulled our chairs, and reminded us there’s a place for us here. This is a book that will not only feed your imagination but also your soul.” —Bob Goff, author of New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody Always

Book SynopsisFrom a group of everyday Christian moms comes Mama Bear Apologetics®. This book equips you to teach your kids how to form their beliefs about what is true and what is false. Join bestselling author Hillary Morgan Ferrer in the Mama Bear movement—when you mess with our kids, we will demolish your arguments!Trade Review“Our kids now have access to more information than ever before, including objections to Christianity and the existence of God. Young people encounter skepticism long before they enter universities and colleges. They encounter it online while they are still living at home. That’s why we, as parents, are the most important apologists our kids will ever know. Mama Bear Apologetics will help you understand the challenges so you can navigate your kids’ questions and prepare them to become committed Christ followers.” —J. Warner Wallace, adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and author of Cold-Case Christianity, God’s Crime Scene, and Forensic Faith“Mama Bear Apologetics is an incisive and witty look at the false ideas kids are drowning in today, often under the watch of well-meaning but unaware Christian moms. I love that it cuts right to the heart of the problem in each chapter—just enough information to provide helpful context and key points of understanding, but not so much that it will leave you feeling overwhelmed. If every Christian mom would read and thoughtfully apply this book in her parenting, it would profoundly transform the next generation. Please read this, then share it with a friend.”—Natasha Crain, national speaker, blogger, and author of Keeping Your Kids on God’s Side and Talking with Your Kids about God“I’m thrilled to see a book of this caliber written for moms! Mama Bear Apologetics is engaging and accessible without minimizing the seriousness of the subject matter. I’m particularly pleased by the inclusion of chapters on so-called progressive Christianity and postmodernism. Readers will gain effective tools for dismantling some of the more dangerous ideologies that pervade contemporary culture—and be able to equip their children to follow suit.”—Melissa Cain Travis, PhD, author of Science and the Mind of the Maker: What the Conversation Between Faith and Science Reveals About God“Outstanding! Mama Bear Apologetics deftly describes cultural lies, how to recognize them, and how to defeat them logically and compassionately. Humor abounds, such as their chew-and-spit method of discerning where progressivism, feminism, socialism, and more agree with or go astray from biblical teaching. Chapters end with discussion questions perfect for small group settings.”—Jean E. Jones, coauthor of Discovering Joy in Philippians and Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament“This team of women thinkers, under the leadership of Hillary Morgan Ferrer, has put together one of the most engaging, accessible, clever, and relevant books on apologetics available today. They take on and answer the questions that intimidate Christian parents—and they do it with joy, humor, and rare skill. This is the kind of book that should be ordered by churches in case lots so that everyone can read it and discuss it. This book will surely be a confidence builder and a game changer for Christian families far and wide.”—Craig J. Hazen, PhD, Biola University Apologetics, author of Fearless Prayer“Brilliant, humorous, conversational, must-read book about the importance of apologetics for anyone who gives a hoot about the current and next generations. This fresh perspective—by women—is exactly what apologetics needs. Everyone, not just parents, needs to learn the chew-and-spit method of discernment, how to ROAR like a mother, and grasp the consequences of linguistic theft. The Mama Bear clarion call is providential—‘Mess with our kids, and we will demolish your arguments!"—Laurie A. Stewart, president of Women in Apologetics“Mama Bear Apologetics is a brilliant collaboration for every woman concerned about lies and ideologies that have crept into both society and the church—and have come against the knowledge of God. It’s for those mothers who want to protect the minds and souls of their children. Mama Bear will equip you with the answers to the tough questions, engage you and your children’s critical thinking, and encourage you—through prayer and discussion—on your faith journey. This book will inspire and strengthen your family and I highly recommend it for every home, in small groups, and in your church.”—Rodney Lake, National Director of Thinking Matters New Zealand Foundation“The Mama Bear book bounds onto the apologetics scene coming to the aid of Christian moms navigating the swift-moving—and often dangerous—ideological waters of postmodern Western culture. These authors understand that while moms have difficulty finding time to learn apologetics, they are still concerned about what their kids are ingesting from cultural influencers. So the Mama Bears have provided answers at an accessible level using stories and humor for an experience that is as informative as it is enjoyable, all the while maintaining a loving and compassionate approach to tough issues. This book will have Christian moms ready to ‘ROAR like a mother’!”—Mary Jo Sharp,assistant professor of apologetics, Houston Baptist University; director of Confident Christianity Apologetics Ministry

In a world that often considers motherhood burdensome, she reminds us of the blessing in even the mundane and the ordinary. No matter the ages of your children, Abbie will inspire you to parent with conviction, compassion, and courage.”—Katie Majors, New York Times bestselling author of Kisses from Katie and Daring to Hope“Abbie’s book reads like a motivating conversation with a trusted mentor and friend. She speaks on a subject that has been dangerously glorified—mediocre motherhood—and uses biblical truths to encourage Christlike motherhood instead. I love how she gives practical advice and action steps while also keeping it real. What a refreshing read!”—Jodi Mockabee, author of The Whole and Healthy Family“Abbie holds a torch for young mothers, lighting the path toward a parenthood that is fulfilling and empowering. In a world that tells us we are captive to our children and that motherhood is something to just survive, Abbie’s teaching is a breath of fresh air. She shows mothers of all ages that it’s possible to love God, love your kids, and love mothering them—all at the same time.”—Phylicia Masonheimer, blogger, author, speaker, and podcast host
