good food for life:
planning, preparing,
& sharing
Good food—and all of its blessings—will make you whole.
"Maggie gave me the idea that food is something to be enjoyed, a truly spiritual part of my life!" —Carol Showalter
Food can be one of the greatest blessings in life, and good food makes a life rich with what matters most. Take a journey with well-known nutritionist Maggie Davis, and discover how to change your relationship with food—and, in the process, transform your relationships with others. Isn't it interesting that God has always used the practical things of our lives to teach us who we are? From the bountiful Garden of Eden to the Banquet Table we call heaven, and all of the miracles of Jesus with food: Everything in our lives—including food and eating—should be more enjoyable, sacred.
Maggie's book is designed to help you find simple ways to prepare, eat, and share good food for your whole life, one day at a time. Good Food for Life is more than menus and recipes to plan your daily intake at a particular calorie level. It is an entirely fresh approach to your relationship with food, from selecting and preparing to eating, sharing and presentation.
With this innovative approach, you will look at food, your table, and yourself, differently!

Echoes of Eternity:
3D Summer Edition
An invitation to listen to the still, small voice
"Pray with your heart open. Pray with your ears open -- open to Me and My word. Enter My presence with thanksgiving. I welcome you, My beloved child."
The oldest Christian traditions invite us to listen when we pray, but the quiet voice of God often seems drowned out by the cares and concerns of the day. Spend the next three months in Scriptural meditations gathered from one pastor's faithful daily practice of listening to God. You will be encouraged by words of God's love, lasting peace, refreshment and renewal, and daily grace. Above all, you will be invited to listen more attentively for the voice of God in your own life.
