Book Review:Scars of a Chef

This book is the first one I have reviewed for Tyndale House Publishing. They sent me a free copy to review on this blog.  The book was a nice hardcopy that would be great for gift giving.  I can see someone buying one of his cookbooks and this autobiography as a great gift for a foodie in their life!

One of these is to remind us of the bondages and lack of freedom women are suffering around the world. She encourages us to speak up for children around the world, acquire night vision to rescue those caught in the grip of darkness, to nurture other women, and to advocate for the voiceless. One of my favorite take-aways from the book was asking myself "What do I need to do NOW, where I am, to be a world-changer?" "What personal development do I need to pursue to fulfill that call upon my life?"  We can all waste so much time waiting for the right circumstance but it is ultimately up to us to decide to step up and out for Christ!
