Bake Through the Bible book From time to time I like to take part in book reviews through Cross Focused Reviews.  Bake through the Bible is a cookbook that combines 20 Bible stories with 20 fun recipes just waiting to be shared with children of all ages.

The book features recipes for Sparkly Promise Cookies that help children to remember God’s wonderful promises to Abraham, Happy Crepe Faces in response to God’s promise to send his Rescuer and Forever-King and even An Empty Bread Tomb with Easter dips to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection.

This fun book is written by two young mothers, Susie Bentley-Taylor and Bekah Moore who wanted a way to teach their own children Bible stories while creating fun learning memories.

cookie cutters
Since my sous-chef dish-washing mom and I recently returned from Alaska with cookie cutters shaped like bear, moose and salmon, it was a no-brainer for us to make Creation Cookies!  I have a favorite sugar cookie recipe but decided to use the simple recipe in the book so that I could give you an authentic review.  I am so glad I did.  This recipe is simple, the dough is lovely to work with, and the cookies deliciously wonderful!

We made brown bears, caramel colored (and flavored) moose and pink salmon.  Mom and I had fun decorating the cookies and plating them to share with neighbors!

Mom frosting Cookies
The book starts out with a “how to use this book” section that outlines the Bible story, the instructions, the cooking activity, discussion options while you cook and finishing up the story while you eat!

Who would benefit from this book?  Moms, dads, grandparents, homeschooling teachers, Sunday School leaders, vacation Bible school teachers, Aunts, Uncles, — are you getting the picture?  This book is for anyone wanting to share the wonderful truths of the Bible with a young child.

Or a not-so-young child (like me!).  Mom and I are currently studying the Book of Mark and we had a good discussion about how Jesus directed the disciples, twice, to feed thousands of people with just a few fish.  That’s when we decided to share our little fish with friends and neighbors!

I received a free copy of this book from Cross-Focused Reviews in order to read and review the book.
