Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Templeton's engrossing Christian novel Bread is a spiritual parable about the transformational power of relationships.....set in a divided world in which one life can make a difference. - Foreword reviews Templeton's prose is brisk, clear, comic and surprising....an offer of fresh angles on complex ideas with bursts of humor.... arresting, unsettling imagery and wholly surprising details—BOOKLIFE REVIEW “This inspiring book was a joy to read with its jewels of insight into the intimacy of relationships and the benefits of living a God-conscious life. The numerous vignettes supporting the compelling storyline felt like God was speaking directly to me, uplifting my soul. A great read, surprisingly creative, with takeaways for everyone.” - DB Arizona “Bread: A Modern Parable,” is not about politics, religion or psychology. It does offer political, theological and psychological messaging. But only to transport the reader to deeper, more valuable truths. “Bread” infers that harsh, and evil realities of life happen to everyone. In that regard, it explores the role of spiritual power derived from relationships and treats redemption and grace as transformative minus the heavy handedness of lifeless religious rule-keeping. The option of who we choose to give ourselves to relationally, spiritually and politically is prioritized and illustrated in an astonishingly creative and meaningful way. Unlike a fairy tale, this book also manages to highlight very real truths about the struggles of modern relationships and the role personal honesty and emotional bonding plays in them. A completely surprising and entertaining book” D.M.- California From the Author: The problem with evil is the inevitability of its arrival. Nearly every person alive will, at some point, suffer. What if there was a way for the restorative power of grace and redemption to be just as certain? Bread invites you to look at that idea as a reality. We follow the life of a lonely and compromised protagonist named Caleb who, against all odds, embarks on a surprising and unpredictable journey of discovery, and in the process, determines if he has a destiny to fulfill. He wants to find out if Redemption, Grace and Love are real or just words. Everything that happens to him is played out in a mythical city called Solé, where life has handed him a horrifying problem. He has no idea how he may have contributed to its claim on his life. His situation is dire. The loneliness he feels has become tangible; a growing, serpentine form located in his torso is reminding him of his impending psychological and spiritual extinction. That’s where his learning curve begins. He finally understands that the restoration he needs must come from a source greater than himself. Sound familiar? The mythical city of Solé is the realm where Caleb, and the reader, experience the unambiguous personal failures and achievements a life can have. Evil and loss, undying true love and hope, are juxtaposed against an unseen realm of competing forces of good and evil, determined to gain ultimate control of human souls, or release them to divine inheritance. Like life, the story is impossible to predict from one page to the next. Bread is crafted as an unpredictable and entertaining story and will reveal truths embedded in its pages, and offer each reader the wonder of their own life’s potential Find-Key Moment Samples, 'Bread' Artwork and Reviews At This Authors Website: Templetonwrites.com

Book excerpt: A 30-something, married man, living in a mythic, contemporary city called Solé has come to terms with a horrifying reality. The presence of a malevolent serpent living in his torso is real and growing. Unless it is removed, he will plunge into an enormous, pitch-black void called 'The Abyss' and lose his soul. He realizes there is only one answer: An ancient sacrament that will cure the loneliness and isolation which is giving the serpent its power. But his redemption eludes him. This terrifying dilemma drives him to choose a path of discovery he believes will ultimately drive out the animal and heal his empty, inner world. He gets more than he bargained for. He realizes his internal conflict is also a microcosm of unfolding events in his beloved city, Sole, where evil has invaded, intending to kill, steal and destroy. Along the way he begins to discover if redemption, truth, and love are real or imaginary. The surprise for the reader is the unfolding drama, and the answer he finds in Solé is also a part of their world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers. Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives. In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without question, the parables of Jesus are the most-loved and most-used texts in the entire New Testament -- a blessing, opportunity, and challenge to preachers, study groups, and congregations alike. They are the most-loved because as word pictures, they are immediately accessible. We can imagine the situations they describe and wonder how they apply to our own lives. The parables also bring us as near to Jesus as we can get. Biblical scholars agree that the parables are the most authentic words of Jesus available to us, and we value them for that reason. At the same time, the parables present many challenges. The parables appear more than 30 times in the Revised Common Lectionary. Ministers are called to preach the parables over and over again. It 's not easy to approach the parables in a fresh way, or to gain new insights from them when we hear or preach them so often. Which is why The Art of Parables by Charles McCollough is such an indispensable resource. A theologian and artist, McCollough knows the parables intimately and offers a unique, two-pronged approach to each of the 31 parables contained in the New Testament: First, McCollough interprets each of the parables through sculpture. Seeing and approaching the parables visually, through art/sculpture, opens up new levels of understanding. Second, McCollough takes full account of the social, economic, and political context in which the parables were told, with often surprising and challenging results. For example, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son parables have been used in endless ways to refer to compassionate care of the stranger and to forgiveness of wayward children. But are these the meanings Jesus intended? Not necessarily, says McCollough. This illustrated book (and the accompanying CD of images for projection) will be an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to explore the ethical and social justice issues contained in the parables of Jesus, in a unique way that honours the contribution of the arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have heard the parables of Jesus all our lives, and we might even know them by heart. So why study them again? Why take another look at the parable of the talents, the parable of the prodigal son, the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, and nine others? As our life experiences accumulate, we bring a fresh eye to the Scriptures. This is especially true of the parables, as they deal with people and life and everyday events. In many ways, reflecting on the parables in light of our own lives can bring us closer to Jesus. Whether you are encountering these parables for the first time or for the first time again, you will find them leading you into the mind and spirit of Jesus and offering lessons for living in the kingdom of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Parables: Today's Versions presents parables in updated language and images. Biblical parables are culture-bound; they are embedded in images that were well-known to a Jewish culture. Jesus was a first-century, Jewish, Galilean peasant, and his concerns, speech, and idioms belong to that culture. His milieu is far removed from ours today. The images found in parables carried meaning that is lost on modern audiences. A simple example will suffice. In the Jewish world of the first century, leaven was considered to be corrupt because people did not understand how bacteria worked. On the most important day of the year--Passover--bread had to be unleavened, uncorrupted. Today, no one thinks of yeast in that way. If we want bread dough to rise, we need to leaven it. Therefore, what image might Jesus use today that carries some of the same cultural connotations that yeast or leaven carried in his world? Might he speak about Ebola virus or radioactivity? Those images carry the same negativity that yeast or leaven bore in his world. This book contains parables found in the New Testament in a form that Jesus might tell today.

Book excerpt: Fortnum & Mason’s Awards, shortlisted in ‘Food Book’ category (2021) “A beautiful love letter to the very first processed food. Any book that contains a section on the joys of crisp sandwiches gets my vote.” – Jay Rayner “What an absolutely beautiful book... Pages of love letters to bread; everything it is, does, and how very special it is as a part of our food vocabulary. Wonderful words by Tim make this book perfect bedtime reading for any foodie but, more importantly, anyone who has ever eaten bread.” – Tom Kerridge “A book by Tim Hayward is eagerly anticipated. When the subject is his love of bread, its lore and great many uses, his sound, good sense noting the myriad ways in which bread enhances daily life makes this book a most inspiring read. He illuminates each page with his thoughts and love of food in the most endearing of voices.” – Jeremy Lee “A wonderful book and impossible to read without a smile on your face.” – Rob Long A loaf of bread means different things to different people. It's at once the centrepiece of the family table, it's the source of the demon gluten, the reassuring heft of an artisan sourdough, or the fluffy comfort of a white sandwich loaf – it's the best thing since... well, sliced bread. This is NOT a book about how to make bread. No kneading, no rising, no baking. Loaf Story is a food book about bread – not just the role it plays in people’s lives all over the world, but how it has been adapted and used in so many dishes. It is food of poverty and yet now we routinely pay big money for an artisanal loaf. Why does it have such a hold on us? From the British and American white sliced loaf to the French baguette, Scandinavian rye, and the uber-trendy Japanese katsu sando, the cultural significance of the loaf is manifold. With recipes for 60 dishes that can be made on bread, in bread and with bread, including a look at the myriad uses for breadcrumbs, croutons, and hollowed-out loaves, as well as the hallowed doorstep sandwich and a classic BLT, Loaf Story is a heart-warming celebration of the staff of life.

Book excerpt: It is difficult to think of a food more basic, more essential, and more universal than bread. Common to the diets of both the rich and the poor, bread is one of our oldest foods. Loaves and rolls have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs, and wheat has been found in pits where human settlements flourished 8,000 years ago. Many anthropologists argue that the ability to sow and reap cereals, the grains necessary for making bread, could be one of the main reasons why man settled in communities, and even today the concept of “breaking bread together” is a lasting symbol of the uniting power of a meal. Bread is an innovative mix of traditional history, cultural history, travelogue, and cookbook. William Rubel begins with the amazing invention of bread approximately 20,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent and ends by speculating on the ways in which cultural forces and advances in biotechnology may influence the development of bread in the twenty-first century. Rubel shows how simple choices, may be responsible for the widespread preference for wheat over other bread grains and for the millennia-old association of elite dining with white bread. He even provides an analysis of the different components of bread, such as crust and crumb, so that readers may better understand the breads they buy. With many recipes integrated with the text and a glossary covering one hundred breads, Bread goes well beyond the simple choice of white or wheat. Here, general readers will find an approachable introduction to the history of bread and to the many forms that bread takes throughout the world, and bread bakers will discover a history of the craft and new ways of thinking that will inspire experimentation.
