A Kiss of Smoke
This book hosts a compendium of my favourite recipes which can be cooked outdoors on a barbecue or using traditional indoor kitchen methods. In this book you will find good, honest cooking; meals that you will love to eat and love to serve to family and friends. None of the photography has been staged, every photo was taken just before the food was eaten, so again there is honesty in the way it is presented.Most of the recipes are cooked using the more gentle, indirect barbecue method, positioning food away from the fire, thus reducing the risk of creating a bitter flavour caused by over-charring or burning. So, whether you want to cook outside on your barbecue or indoors in your kitchen, there will be something in this book for you. I hope you enjoy recreating some of these recipes as much as I have enjoyed sharing them with you.

During his years of public ministry the author came to realise that the Bible was a closed book to the majority of people, whilst those who did read it were often confused by the apparent complexity of the work. This book sets out to demystify the Bible, setting each part in its historical, political and religious context, demonstrating that it is a record of the way in which God has made Himself known to succeeding generations. Being not several books so much as a series of narratives progressively disclosing the nature of God and His relationship with us.
