Eating Your Way Through Lukes Gospel
$16.95
Robert Karris spreads before us a unique and delightful framing of the food theme in the Gospel of Luke.
Karris describes the food and drink popular in Jesus’ day. He also documents the social, political, and general contexts in which the food was prepared and eaten. He outlines the social roles Jesus assumes in Luke’s Gospel in relation to food and meals, as well as the relationship between women and food. Karris also examines the eucharistic implications of the way food and drink are portrayed.
This volume invites readers to get actively involved in the process of discovery by checking Scripture references alongside the author. Food themes in the other three Gospels are also briefly compared with Luke’s Gospel. Questions to stimulate an appetite for discussion or reflection and suggestions for further reading are provided at the end of each chapter.

Roxy The Ritzy Camel
$15.99Add to cartBestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Little ones ages three and older will learn that possessions are only things…and definitely NOT the most important things.
Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy’s journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she’s heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share–or even give away–what she possesses.
