Overview

Part cookbook, part theology, Among the Pots and Pans celebrates the connection between food and faith in the Bible and explores how cooking can be used not only to nourish our bodies but also to feed our souls and build community.   As God’s plan for redemption exquisitely unfolds throughout the Bible, you’ll notice that food plays in important role in the scriptural narrative. From Eden to Egypt to Jesus’s many meals with his followers, and ultimately to the wedding feast that awaits all believers, food has always been a central part of God’s story. Pastor and cooking enthusiast Alex Early invites you to experience God anew as you cook memorable meals for friends, family, and fellow seekers. This unique cookbook contains over fifty recipes from Alex along with rich, spiritual insights on how food can help you extend Christ’s love to others and live in greater gratitude and wholeness.   Join Alex for delicious meals and plenty of food for thought on the holy work in the kitchen.

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.  —Kristan Raines, author, creator of The Broken Bread

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.  —Steve Brown, author of Laughter and Lament, broadcaster, and seminary professor  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.  —Steven Furtick, pastor, songwriter and music producer, and New York Times best-selling author
