Great alternatives to your typical "ham and cheese" sandwich

Product Description
"Halfway through the service our minister asked the congregation a question. ‘For you,’ he asked, ‘what is the most important thing in the world?’ Liz and I answered more or less simultaneously. My reply was very proper and holy for a change. ‘Salvation!’ I cried piously.
‘Bacon sandwiches!’ suggested Liz, with all the passion and wisdom you would expect from a retired magistrate and area schools advisor for religious education. Yes, I thought to myself. Of course. Bacon sandwiches and salvation. That just about sums it up. A God who can create the indescribable tastiness of a bacon sandwich must be planning something pretty incredible in the salvation line."

(excerpt from Bacon Sandwiches and Salvation)

Calvinists: Christians whose theology suggests that they might not bother to book their hotel rooms in
advance when planning a holiday because they are absolutely convinced that someone else will have
done it for them and if they haven’t, there’s no use trying. Grip: term used by some Christians in their
salutation at the end of a letter, thus, "Yours in his grip." Suggests that God is in the habit of carrying
his followers around in a small leather traveling case.

humorous and insightful observations of faith and church
Adrian Plass, Bacon Sandwiches and Salvation: An A-Z of the Christian Life (London, Authentic, 2007)

Reviewed by Rev Dr Darren Cronshaw

In the tradition of The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass, Alien at St Wilfred's and View from a Bouncy Castle, Adrian Plass' new book Bacon Sandwiches and Salvation offers humorous and insightful observations of the life of faith and church.

Most of the book is definitions of aspects of church and faith, from `agape love' (kissing with your mouth open) to `Zap flap' (a small hinged door in the gates of heaven through which dirty stop-out believers or angels can find their way back in after midnight).

It made me laugh many times, and smile all the more. In the midst of quirky stories and humorous anecdotes, he made me ponder and question my approach to witness, worship, the Third World, parenting and friendships. It got me thinking afresh about how I view the gospel and God and the way God loves people with a passion.

It helped me with a few current study projects of mine too on guidance, evangelism and Jesus in the gospels:

Door: means of metaphorical entrance and exit that God appears to spend much of his time frenziedly opening and shutting in the lives of believers who are paralysed without inch-by-inch guidance.

Alpha: Outreach system that has brought thousands to faith, but has left in its wake a small, deeply confused group of people who have mistakenly asked Nicky Gumbel into their lives.

Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Serious historical and theological research strongly suggests that, contrary to popular tradition, it is extremely unlikely that any one of these four significant individuals went to bed with their trousers on.

Here are a handful of other definitions:

A growing time: ghastly phrase used as a verbal sticking plaster to cover over a period of one's life that was so horrible, hopeless and apparently lacking in the presence and power of God that none of the other statutory religious terms will cover it.
Apathy: driving force behind our attitudes to the Third World.
Apple crumble: dish invented to commemorate Eve's temptation and the subsequent fall.
As the Lord leads: fairly common phrase among Christians, meaning `I haven't decided yet'
A word from the Lord: I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you should do, and I shall enjoy exercising power over your life by dressing up my personal opinion as a message from God.
Babylon: what a lot of preachers do
Bangladesh: country where five million children struggle to stay alive every day. Hardly a religious subject. Move on quickly.
Baptist church: denomination in which one senses that there is an awful lot going on under the surface.
Be bold: chorus sung by [English] Christian cricket fans when the Australians are batting. Until recently not a very helpful activity for those who are looking to build up their faith. A different story since 2005!
Behemoth: identification instruction given to a member of the Lepidoptera family by Adam when he was naming the animals.
Benjamite: early form of Israeli yeast extract that you either love or hate.
Can I just say, in love: Brace yourself.
Change: rare phenomenon as far as the church is concerned, except when it comes to the collection. Tends to be fairly limited even then.
Daddy: what the Bible tells us we're allowed to call God, which is a shame when you consider many of his adherents think of him as a jailer, a headmaster, a bank manager, a sadist, a senile old man or a pathetically permissive sort of hippie.
Damnation: Holland
Fellowship: all male cruise
Ham: second son of Noah. A less than perceptive lad, Ham never did catch on to the reason why, throughout the voyage of the ark, he was so nervously avoided by Mr and Mrs Pig.
Holy ground: 1. Area around the burning bush. 2. Brand of coffee we shall all drink in heaven. 3. Old Trafford. 4. Lords.
House church: 1. Church that meets in a school. 2. Church that meets in a factory. 3. Church that meets in a theatre. 4. Church that meets in a shed. 5. Church that meets on a bouncy castle.
Immersion: the lowering of the whole person into water during the sacrament of baptism. As with witches and eggs, the floaters are rejected.
Incarnation: what happens on the [South-Eastern] at most times, on most days
Isaiah: a helpful personal motto for aspirately challenged men to repeat to themselves when confronted with plunging necklines.
Justice: no lemon
Name above all names: aardvark
Noah: What Gaza says when he disagrees
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing, nothing is too difficult for Thee!: line of a Christian song which is absolutely true, leaving aside, of course, any question of me having anything to do with my cousin after what he said to me in the late fifties - or was it the early sixties?
Parables: stories that entertain you at the front door while the truth slips in through a side window and sandbags you from behind.
Pillar of the church: 1. Person who is consistent and reliable in their commitment to the well-being of the congregation. 2. Big thick thing that holds everything up and restricts vision.

There is lots of helpful advice for worship leaders

I suddenly really sense the presence of the Lord in this church: God was not able to get there for the beginning of the service, but he's just this moment turned up, so the service can get going now.

Plass also outlines a few new choruses, or variations of old favourites:

The name of the Lord
is a strong tower.
The righteous run into it
and bang their heads

Gone, gone, gone, gone
Yes, every jot of musical discrimination I ever had is gone
Of all the choruses we sing I hate this one
Rip it out of Mission Praise
Shred it with some mayonnaise
Feed it to the goat until the da-a-a-mm thing's gone.

The First World War
The fire of London and the fall
All down to me, to me
For all your woes, in fact for anything at all
Please feel free, to blamed me
Our guilt reigns, our guilt reigns
Our guilt reigns, our guilt reigns

I cannot tell why I allowed my sister
To drag me here to this benighted place
Or why my neighbour's speaking Esperanto
With such a weird expression on his face
But this I know, if that mad preacher picks on me
I shall insert his hand-held microphone
Into a place where all is pain and darkness
And that will be my cue to leave the twilight zone

I did it Yahweh

And can it be, that no one was concerned
When I staggered in with an awkward lurch
If they had asked me they might have learned
I came off my bike on the way to church
My chain came off
I swerved into a tree
I smashed my shin
And grazed my knee
My chain, my chain came off ...

Father God I wonder
Why they bother with a speaker
When they have a worship leader
Who's as wonderful as me.
Now they won't be needing
All that Holy Spirit leading
But they have asked for twenty minutes
But my kind of talent knows no limits

I will sing for ever
I will sing for ever
I will sing for ever, for evermore
I will sing my praises
I will sing my praises
I will sing my praises for evermore


There are also anagrams scattered throughout, such as:
- Denominations - anagram of `not made in Sion'
- Dogma - `go mad'
- Evangelist - `Elvis agent'
- Forgiveness - `serving foes'
- Fundamentalist `I'm a stunted flan' or `snail fed mutant'
- Jimmy Swaggart - `gag my trim jaws'
- Mother Theresa - `heart rest home'
- Prodigal son - `no God spiral'
- Seminar - `remains'
- Theology `o get holy'
- Universalist - `Elvis is a turn' or `salient virus'

I picked up the book for a laugh at the end of a big week, and Jenni and I read sections of it to each other and laughed and laughed. Then we discussed the serious and very human short stories, and the serious implications of Plass' observations.

For those who can see the lighter side of church, who realise faith is a struggle, who know God can be found in laughter as well as doctrine, or if someone you think of as a heretic thinks you need to learn these lessons, this is well worth a read. And it will make you laugh, or at least smile a few times, which is well worth a trip to the bookshop.

Darren is BUV's Coordinator of Leadership Training and most enjoys life and laughter with his wife Jenni, 3 hilarious kids and friends over coffee.

Adrian Plass' ABCs of Faith for Restless Christians Impatient With Pointless Piety
I'm a fan of Adrian Plass' work, have enjoyed his talks and have interviewed him a number of times over the years. I'm thrilled that other reviewers here are enjoying and recommending his book. I'm highly recommending it as well. But let me clear up a couple of possible misconceptions my reviewing colleagues may have (unintentionally) passed along.
Not all the words have three forms of definition. In fact, most don't. The book is written in the grand literary tradition of Ambrose Bierce's 1911 The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary or Frederick Buechner's Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC. The idea is wisdom through humor.
Adrian is a beloved satirical writer from Britain. He's evangelical to the core of his being--and equally restless with a lot of the pomposity that passes for faith. What drives his life and letters is a faith that moves him to break down all barriers to Christian compassion. Understanding that life's focus, then his razor wit is good fun in slicing away a lot of the baggage that infuriates Christians as much as non-Christians.
The reviewer who says she's uncertain of the accuracy of some of the definitions--well, please don't buy this book hoping for an encyclopedic resource.
I laughed when I read his definition of Leviathan: "long-distance race for Old Testament men wearing jeans." That's a classic Adrian Plass line. But, no, not a shred of truth to the reference.
The book is good fun and the laughter is pure in spirit. It's a nice gift for a Christian friend. Going through the book with a small group also is guaranteed to spark spirited discussion!

Too Funny!
I wanted this book a while ago. We were supposed to tour it on Non~FIRST when it was still going, but something happened to the publication date. Anyway, I have it now! And it is HYSTERICAL. This may sound a bit gross, but it is the perfect book to put beside the toilet. It is one of those books that you don't read in one sitting. It is meant to be read a little at a time. My 14 year old son snatched it from me and has hogged it ever since. His favorite part was the definition 'Damnation: (1) condemnation to eternal punishment; (2) Holland.'

Hiliarious
This book is hilarious. I love British humour and since the author is a retired British magistrate guess what, the humour is British. Also, since the author is a member of the Church of England (Anglican) many of the daffynitions include references to the Anglican Church. But, I think that most readers are familiar enough with Anglican-isms to understand the references. The words are presented in 3 basic methods, a regular definition, a silly definition (many with both) and a real life story that many times shares the short falls of how we represent Christianity to the world of unbelievers. My whole family enjoys this book and it has the place of honour in the bathroom beside the throne.

A Funny Read For A Christian Audience
Adrian Plass' "Bacon Sandwiches and Salvation" is a humorous look at Christianity.The reader's attention will be drawn to the witty title at first, then completely captured by the cover - this sandwich looks delicious.I think I'll make BLTs for dinner, tonight...Anyway, this hysterical volume is assembled in the format of a dictionary, and defines various "Christian-ese" terms.It also identifies Biblical characters and historical and modern heroes of the faith.Plass uses humor to shed light on traditions for those already grounded in the church and those who aren't a member of any denomination.

I do have one concern.I think this book is absolutely written for a Christian audience.I would have to do a lot of research to verify the accuracy of many of the definitions provided, and I am a bit concerned that those without a solid foundation in Christ would see Christians with jaded vision if their only source of information about Christians were this book and our behavior. ...

Product Description
To the casual visitor of today, Sandwich appears as simply a small inland market town on the bank of a modest river. But locals and historians have long known that in the Middle Ages it was a strategic and commercial seaport of great significance, trading with northern Europe and the Mediterranean and growing prosperous on this business. The medieval fabric of the town has been preserved to a remarkable extent, but historians and archaeologists have never agreed on quite where the first settlement was located. Nor has there been close study of what the surviving medieval buildings can tell us about Sandwich's development. It is the physical development of Sandwich that forms the focus of this volume, providing new theories on how, when and why the town came to take its present form. As well as providing a great amount of detail on the houses, churches and defences of medieval Sandwich, the authors apply the material evidence in order to draw out important social, economic and cultural facets in the evolution of the town. The study of Sandwich also has much wider implications, as despite being largely affected by its location, it also shared much with other English medieval towns in terms of its physical growth and the role of its major institutions. The story of the town, therefore, is both particular and general, and this detailed study gives new insights into the influences affecting urban development, both in the formative period of growth and in later periods in which towns adapted to new circumstances. ...

Product Description
While French sea captain Auguste Duhaut-Cilly may nothave become wealthy from his around-the-world travels between 1826 and1829, his trip has enriched historians interested in earlynineteenth-century California. Because of a poor choice in goods totrade he found it necessary to spend nearly two years on the Alta andBaja California coasts before disposing of his cargo and returning toFrance. What was bad luck for Duhaut-Cilly was good luck for us,however, because he recorded his impressions of the region's naturalhistory and human populations in a diary. This translation of Duhaut-Cilly's writing offers today's readers a rare eyewitness account ofthe pastoral society that was Mexican California, including themissions at the height of their power.

A veteran of the Napoleonic wars, Duhaut-Cilly was an educated manconversant in Spanish and English. He was also Catholic, which gavehim special access to the California missions. Thus his diary allowsthe reader an insider's view of the padres' lives, including theirdealings with the military. Through his eyes we see the region'sindigenous people and how they were treated, and we're privy to hiscommentary on the behavior of the Californios.

This translation also contains Duhaut-Cilly's account of the SandwichIslands portion of his voyage and provides an authentic rendering oflife at sea during the early nineteenth century. In the spirit ofRichard Henry Dana's Two Years before the Mast, Duhaut-Cilly'sreflections are a historical gem for anyone with a love of personalnarratives and original accounts of the past.

"This is the definitive translation of the most important travelaccount of California before the American conquest. Duhaut-Cilly'sobservations are those of the outsider with the most insider access ofany visitor. It is a lively read, endlessly fascinating for all thoseinterested in the early history of the Golden State, and a naturalsupplement to all courses on its past." --James Sandos, author ofRebellion in the Borderlands

"The best contemporary account of the California missions prior totheir secularization.Excellent writing as well as sensitivetranslation and good editing by two leading scholars make thishistorical study both informative and a very good read."--NormanThrower, author of Sir Francis Drake and the Famous Voyage

"Thanks to this superb new translation, we can again feelDuhaut-Cilly's wonder and realism as he encountered a remote Mexicanprovince whose destiny was at once obscure and exhilarating." --KevinStarr, State Librarian of California

"A wonderful new English-language translation of Auguste Duhaut-Cilly's1826 Voyage to California that gives us a very detailed set ofobservations on Indian-white relations in Alta and Baja California onthe eve of the secularization of the missions."--Ramn A. Gutirrez,coeditor of Contested Eden: California before the Gold Rush ... Read more

French twist
In some ways, Auguste Duhaut-Cilly's memoir is one of the most interesting of the early travel writings about the eastern Pacific, but for some reason it has not been available in English.

"A Voyage to California" is more relevant to Alta and Baja California than to Hawaii. Duhaut-Cilly spent two years on the California coast, trying to open up a French trade and getting the chance to observe the crisis created when the new Mexican Republic expelled the Spaniards. Duhaut-Cilly, a republican and ardent Catholic, was pulled in both directions but religion finally overcame politics and he sided with the Spanish friars.

His bigotry carried over to Hawaii, where his opinions about the New England Congregationalist missionaries are some of the harshest on record. He wrote, "We observed the cruel treatment inflicted by these missionaries in the name of religion on the islanders who rebelled against their strictures -- cruelties, I say, quite comparable to those charged against the inquisitors of Spain and Portugal."

They were hardly that bad. Hawaiians were never "put to the question" (interrogated under torture), much less burned alive.

Even though his feelings were strong, Duhaut-Cilly was intelligent enough not to get involved in the French plot to force Catholic missionaries on the unwilling Oahu alii (chiefs).

The French captain was a great admirer of the islands and of the islanders. Coasting along Oahu's North Shore, he described impressions of "fearsome precipices, one towering over the other, of impenetrable forests rising in great steps above other forests, dark chasms of frightful depth, steep and slippery, bare wet rocks mingling their dark color with the somber green of old trees. High and gleaming cascades, after descending for hundreds of yards, threw themselves into the tree tops, where they burst into foam only to reunite and fall again until some fissure in the rocks provided a channel for a gentler descent to the sea."

Duhaut-Cilly adds hardly anything to the historical record, although one of his opinions deserves attention. In Honolulu, this veteran of Napoleon's "wars of liberation," wrote, "We no longer live in an age when a power may seize, without scruple or respect for property, any land that it may discover. Today such an act will arouse the indignation of the entire Christian and civilized world."

A bad prediction, but the appeal of the book is the lively writing and Duhaut-Cilly's typically French philosophizing, which is totally lacking in the banal accounts of English and American skippers.

His account does flesh out a bit the career of Jean-Baptiste Rives, a famous haole (white) troublemaker in Liholilo's reign. Rives, who Duhaut-Cilly identifies only as "Monsieur R.," was Duhaut-Cilly's supercargo (trading agent), and he caused Duhaut-Cilly plenty of trouble, too.

Although Duhaut-Cilly's account has been published in English before, until now it never has been all in one place, nor in hard covers. (Some purely nautical material has been left out of this edition, too.) Furthermore, according to translator August Fruge, previous translation were defective. This one reads very easily. There also are plenty of explanatory notes by Fruge and Neal Harlow. ... Read more

In its roughly 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.

This installment, the Book of Sandwiches, starts with a brief glossary of typical sandwich ingredients, and then presents recipe suggestions for all major types of this perhaps most variable of all snacks, from tea sandwiches and hearty sandwiches to party sandwiches and canapes.Special chapters are dedicated to layered, open-face, long, hot, and sweet sandwiches.Classics such as the good old BLT, chili dogs, croquet monsieur, egg and bacon rolls, pitas, club sandwiches, ham and cheese combinations, Reuben and steak sandwiches appear next to unique recipes such as chocolate and orange brioches, Indian spiced chicken on Nan bread, mango and crab sandwiches, melon and ham fingers and pork-celery crunch.

From anchovy mosaics to Welsh rarebits, this collection of recipes, while not all-encompassing, is a great introduction to the endless possibilities of combining food with bread, condiments and garnishments - and at a relative bargain price, to boot.

Sandwich maker?
I was hoping this book would have some new recipes that I could use with my sandwich maker.Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.If you like to use a variety of fillings and don't mind mixing obscure foods together, then this book is for you.I was looking for recipes that used ingredients that you may already have.

Lots of imaginative combinations.......
For those tired of entertaining in a traditional manner this is all the inspiration you'll need, with sandwich meals perfect for impromtu gatherings to sit down affairs. The last chapter alone, filled with 32 different condiments, sauces, salsas, and spreads is worth the price of the book alone.Using Ray's concept of varying different toppings, each recipe can be interpreted into a new and different taste sensation.

Yummmmmm.............
This book is amazing.Not just your same old BLT or PB and J.It combines flavors and textures from all over the world creating new easy to make sandwiches that will please even the pickiest eater.The book isdivided by chapters such as Special Occasions (sandwiches indulgent enoughto serve at a formal gathering), New Classics (updates on the standards),To Go (sandwiches that travel well), and much more.I highly recommendthis book to anyone who desries a bit more creativity in their kitchen. ...

Dissapointed
After receiving this book I went back to see why I chose it... It was from a link from one of the authors to a book that I purchased that was wonderful. Needless to say, they highly recommended it.
Wow, what a dissapointment. Are you REALLY supposed to put pre-cooked hot dogs and cheese in foil and then bury in the sand to cook - again? That doesn't sound safe to me. That is just one of the recipies that calls for that method.
I am really glad I bought it used because really, It wasn't worth the postage I paid. This is the first purchase I have ever been truly dissapointed in. Nothing it is was imaginative or creative - truly not worth getting.

Oh My GOODNESS!
The ladies who wrote this book must have worked on recepies for years.Very good book for sandwiches!I highly recommend this book for all who like to try good food!

Great Sandwiches
The sandwiches in this book are delicious. The ingredients are easily found in your local grocery store and easy to assemble. I wish my mom knew about the children's sandwiches when I was little. The Chicken Boogie Boarders made with waffles instead of bread sounds great. I've tried some of the roll-up sandwiches such as the Smokey Turkey and the Greek Chicken for my work lunches. They sure beat the old bologna sandwiches I usually make! If you buy this book you won't be disappointed. ... Read more

Product Description

Who can resist a chickpea fritter in Nice, a kebab in Athens, an aniseed cookie in Tuscany, hummus in Tel Aviv, stuffed zucchini in Genoa, or a potato omelet in Spain? Cold or hot, sweet or savory, street food is everyone's temptation.

Great foods
This book has the recipe for the best lamb kabob ever.That alone is worth the price of admission, but the tagines!I was making them in my crock pot and if you are used to watery bland food out of a crock-pot, try these tagines!I am buying it again because I gave my copy to my mom who really enjoyed making focaccia.Basically a huge variety of well researched, flavorful foods.

a food good to remember
this is a book for people who traveled and know how those foods look like. Once this done , it is a good and very complete book full of interesting tips and recipes simple to be done, that take you back to those places. And if you don't want to cook just use it as a travel journal and enjoy your rememberings.

Can't be beat!
I attended a cooking class in San Antonio with the author, and received the book with the class. Perfect combination of stories, photos and recipes. The recipes she has selected (how did she ever decide!) are well-written, and easily accomplished without spending a fortune on specialty ingredients or investing hours of time (unlike a Paula Wolfert cookbook, which leaves me feeling defeated before I have begun). ...

Looks like it's unanimous, so far.
Having decided how I would review this cookbook, I then read the other three reviews already here.Amazing that we all came away with the same impression:marvelous stuff here, not easy but delicious.I first tried the Fall Squash Soup with Chorizo and Spicy Cinammon Croutons, and it was a knockout dish.Everyone just marveled at its layers of flavor, so well blended.This is truly a beautiful book, and the regulars at her restaurant for lunch are blessed.

Not quick, but delicious!!!!!
Thanks to this simple cookbook, my reputation in the kitchen has improved by leaps and bounds.The recipes are time consuming (for a simplesandwich) but wait until you taste them! If I want to knock someones socksoff I prepare the Shrimp Sandwich with Mango Relish!The name cannotimpart how delicious this dish is!This recipe alone justifies the cost ofthe book. (I have substituted chicken w/ equally good results.) Buy thiscookbook.You won't be disappointed!

Excellent flavors, inspiring recipes,simplicity with style
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book.It contains recipes which soothe the soul (soups) and satisfies the palate.The recipes are easy to follow and don't require hours in the kitchen.

This cookbook hardly gets put back on the shelf--we're always looking for something else to make in it.Every sandwich we've made has been so good they taste like we've ordered out. This is a great cookbook. ... Read more
