Survival Cookbook


Book Description

Do you have stored food for emergencies? Do you have recipes for tasty food from this stored food? These are recipes for stored- type foods and arent in any regular cookbooks that I know of. This may be what youre looking for or may some day need. There is a Camping/Trail Section in this cookbook, but MANY of the recipes throughout the rest of the booklet would also work great for campfire cooking. During about 25 years of jungle living in Bolivia, South America, my mother collected these recipes. Some recipes are hers, some shared from other jungle wives and mothers. Where we lived, there were no grocery stores, no roads, no TVs, no electricity, no plumbing, no other people for about 1 hours flying time over a beautiful emerald carpet of Amazonian rainforest with an occasional brown river ribbon winding across the endless green below. Every 3 to 5 months, a Cessna would bring supplies, like batteries, 100 lb. bag of flour, raisins, canned foods, shotgun shells, outboard motor parts & gasoline, and most importantly mail. My first summer in the jungle, Mom baked bread in a tin oven over a campfire. The next year she had a wood burning stove my father made for her from the round cut-off ends of a barrel & tins cans, clayed around to make a fire box, and a chimney stack of 5 gallon gas cans wired together. She still used the tin oven on the stove top for baking. Its not easy baking over a wood fire, trying to keep it burning evenly and consistently. My wish for you is that this recipe collection from Elena Josephine Garland Johnson will be a help to you. She would like that. Shes the lady in the front cover picture.

Sifted offers practical guidance and hope for anyone going through a tough time in ministry or pastoral work. Founding pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii Wayne Cordeiro speaks the truth in love, offering wisdom and insight to walk alongside leaders as they face the challenges and hardships of planting and leading churches, while providing encouragement and inspiration for the journey. A seasoned church leader, Wayne shares the things he wishes he'd known when he was starting a new church. With additional stories from Francis Chan and Larry Osborne, each chapter includes a thought-provoking challenge question to develop a heart that is surrendered to God, focused on "being and becoming" versus "doing and accomplishing." Wayne will walk you through how to develop a healthy balance of personal care and spiritual leadership. But instead of a "how to" book on models and methods from men who have it all figured out, Sifted will help you process your journey in a way that: Challenges leaders' common scorecards of success. Encourages leaders to realize that they are not alone in what they are experiencing. Provides wisdom for the long haul to position younger leaders for a life of ministry. You many find yourself in a season of sifting. If you respond correctly, this season can be every bit as important as the time of harvest. Sifting builds the muscle of faith, giving us what we need for what lies just around the corner.

Surviving the Sift


Book Description

"...Satan has obtained permission to come and sift you all like wheat and test your faith." -Luke 22:31 TPT Have you ever wondered why it feels as though you are being hit with one thing after another, blow after blow after blow, things happening back to back, moving so quickly you don't have time to recover before something else happens? What if I told you it feels that way because that is exactly what is happening? The "sift" presents as a demonic attack but notice how Jesus said the enemy obtained permission to sift you as wheat. This attack wasn't happenstance and though the enemy thought he was going to break you, God has a bigger purpose and plan at play. Everything you've been praying for is on the other side of this attack, but to receive it, you must first survive the sift! Penned with urgency from Heaven, Otescia R. Johnson has written "Surviving the Sift" as a weapon for the arsenal of the Believer. This book breaks down the science of the attack while providing specific battle strategies and key insights that will empower Christians to win and position themselves for spiritual and personal promotion.
