My hope is that, in reading this book, you’ll be reminded that God really does have a recipe—and it’s not just for your quiet time, but for your whole life and the world you’re raising your kids in. You’ll discover the difference it makes when you stop sampling whatever culture is serving and start cooking with God’s ingredients on purpose.

 

In this book, I want to stir in you a deep conviction: the Bible isn’t only a personal devotional book; it is God’s cookbook for human flourishing—for your home, your church, and even your nation. Ultimately, I want you to see this book as a tool to help you discern salt from leaven, rebuild confidence in Scripture, and faithfully “pass the salt” in whatever kitchen God has placed you—your family, friendships, church, school, or community. In God’s Cookbook, you’ll learn how God’s design speaks directly into the biggest issues of our day and why that matters for your everyday life.

​

 

We’re going to explore:

• The recipe of Scripture – helping you see that the Bible is God’s blueprint not only for your soul, but for society.

• The one ingredient God chose—salt – what it means for Christians and Christian values to flavor and preserve the world.

• The danger of leaven – how biblical language mixed with worldly ideology quietly corrupts love, truth, justice, and more.

 

We’ll then walk through the key “courses” of God’s recipe:

• The salt of love – what genuine, biblical love looks like in a culture of counterfeits.

• The salt of truth – how to stand firm when “my truth” has replaced the truth.

• The salt of marriage and gender – why God’s design for sexuality isn’t oppressive, but protective and life-giving.

• The salt of life and justice – how to think biblically about the unborn, law, authority, and true compassion.

• The salt of nations and race – how God views borders, people groups, unity, and the growing fault lines in our world.

 

You’ll love this book if you’ve ever asked questions like:

• How do I raise my kids to love God in a world that’s redefining everything?

• Is it possible to be loving and still hold to unpopular biblical convictions?

• Why does it feel like Christianity is being pushed to the edges of culture?

• How should I think about issues like marriage, gender, race, immigration, and justice as a Christian—not just as a voter?

• What does it actually mean to be the “salt of the earth” in this cultural moment?

 

God’s Cookbook is a nonfiction book written for everyday Christians—especially parents and young adults—who sense that the culture is shifting fast and want biblical clarity and courage to stand.

 

​

The book is written in three parts, designed to be read on your own, with your spouse, or discussed in a small group or class:

• Part 1 – The Divine Kitchen
  We rediscover the Bible as God’s recipe book for human flourishing and learn what it means that Christians are the “salt of the earth” in a world full of leaven.

• Part 2 – Just Add Salt
  We unpack the core ingredients of God’s design—love, truth, marriage, gender, life, justice, nations, and race—and see how Scripture speaks clearly and beautifully into each one.

• Part 3 – Setting the Table
  We explore what happens when salt loses its saltiness, why it matters for freedom and blessing, and how you can courageously bring God’s recipe back into your home, church, and culture.

 

The kitchen is noisy. The recipes are competing. God’s Cookbook will help you clear the counter, open the Word, and let God teach you how to cook again.
