Spiritual Gumbo for the Hungry Heart George Todd

Spiritual Gumbo is a book based on the testimonies of ordinary people who are members and friends of Agape Community Church in Lancaster, California. These testimonies are expressed through essays, poetry, short stories and sermons. There are even a few recipes thrown in for flavor. The naming of the book came from the finished manuscript which had a mixture of ingredients like a dish called gumbo. Gumbo is, "soup you can bite" or sink your teeth into. The ingredients in spiritual gumbo came from imperfect people who share how Jesus Christ has impacted and changed their lives. Spiritual Gumbo is for "unpeople". Unpeople are the unconcerned, the unspiritual, the unchurched and those who consider themselves unreachable. Spiritual Gumbo for the Hungry Heart is best experienced when read slowly over a period of time or it can be gobbled down in one sitting. If reading is exercise for the mind then reading Spiritual Gumbo is food for a hungry heart. It is a book you can sink your teeth into!
