Lunch with the Lord: A Four-Part Banquet of Heart, Mind, and Soul-Nourishing Wisdom

What makes a meal nourishing and satisfying? Laura Padgett, an award-winning author and dancer, has hit upon a recipe to feed minds, hearts, and souls. While growing up with a Sicilian-American father who loved to cook, and a Celtic mother who loved to tell stories, Padgett developed a love for both creative avenues. In Lunch with the Lord, she marries the arts of cooking and storytelling with lessons she has gleaned from almost four decades of walking with Jesus and traveling this world. Crafting this four-part feast, and setting a table of spiritual reflection and growth, Padgett offers the reader a seat at a meal you will not want to skip. With authenticity, wit, humor, and transparency, she creates a safe place to admit her humanity and holds space for others to embrace their own. So, pull up a chair. No reservations needed. You are welcome at this table again and again. In the words of Laura’s beloved Papa Carvallo, ＂Andiamo a mangiare.＂ Let’s go eat!
