Danielle Walker's Against All Grain Celebrations is a cookbook with 125 recipes for grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free comfort food recipes for holidays and special occasions. When people adopt a new diet for health or personal reasons, it's the
parties, holidays, and events with strong food traditions they worry
about most. Against All Grain provides recipes and menus for twelve special occasions, from a child's
birthday party and baby shower, to a backyard barbeque, romantic
Valentine's Day dinner for two, and even a Halloween party. Of course,
Thanksgiving, Christmas dinner, New Year's Eve party, and
Easter/Passover brunch are also covered -- along with suggestions for
beverages and cocktails and the all-important desserts. Nearly every
recipe is photographed, and food and party images shot on location
provide beautiful and creative entertaining ideas. Delicious and
easy-to-prepare dishes encourage the whole family to get into the
kitchen and create lasting memories -- no matter what the occasion.
Patton Dodd, Jana Riess, and David van Biema's The Prayer Wheel: A Daily Guide to Renewing Your Faith a Rediscovered Spiritual Practice brings a long-lost diagram that can be used to structure a 28-day discipline of prayer back into the practice of modern Christian spirituality. The diagram was found in a 12th-century German book of gospels that emerged at a rare book dealer in Manhattan in 2015. They begin with a cursory explanation of the wheel's origins but are primarily interested in reviving the use of the wheel to guide and enrich prayer by tying each day to a different thematic element of scripture. In concentric rings representing sections of the Bible and through seven "contemplative paths toward God" arranged like spokes through the rings he wheel uses Christianity's "big ideas" about the Lord's Prayer, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, events in the life of Christ, and the beatitudes to form a progression of prayer.
