Download or read book God in a Cup written by Michaele Weissman and published by HMH. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the ultimate coffee geeks on their worldwide hunt for the best beans. Can a cup of coffee reveal the face of God? Can it become the holy grail of modern-day knights errant who brave hardship and peril in a relentless quest for perfection? Can it change the world? These questions are not rhetorical. When highly prized coffee beans sell at auction for $50, $100, or $150 a pound wholesale (and potentially twice that at retail), anything can happen. In God in a Cup, journalist and late-blooming adventurer Michaele Weissman treks into an exotic and paradoxical realm of specialty coffee where the successful traveler must be part passionate coffee connoisseur, part ambitious entrepreneur, part activist, and part Indiana Jones. Her guides on the journey are the nation’s most heralded coffee business hotshots: Counter Culture’s Peter Giuliano, Intelligentsia’s Geoff Watts, and Stumptown’s Duane Sorenson. With their obsessive standards and fiercely competitive baristas, these roasters are creating a new culture of coffee connoisseurship in America—a culture in which $10 lattes are both a purist’s pleasure and a way to improve the lives of third-world farmers. If you love a good cup of coffee—or a great adventure story—you’ll love this unprecedented up-close look at the people and passions behind today’s best beans. “Weissman illustrates how the origin, flavor compounds and socioeconomic impact of a cup of coffee are relevant now more than ever. . . . Tagging along behind the main characters in today’s specialty coffee scene, [she] travels from the exotic to the expected to artfully deconstruct the connoisseur’s cup of coffee.” —Publishers Weekly
Download or read book Holy Grounds written by Tim Schenck and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're religious about your coffee, you're in holy company. If you like your coffee with a bit of inspiration, a hint of humor, and a dose of insight, you'll enjoy pouring a mug full of java and curling up with Holy Grounds. Popular author and avid coffee drinker Tim Schenck brews just the right blend of the personal and historical as he explores the sometimes amusing and often profound intersection between faith and coffee. From the coffee bean's discovery by ninth-century Ethiopian Muslims to being condemned as "Satan's drink" by medieval Christians, to becoming an integral part of Passover in America, coffee has fueled prayer and shaped religious culture for generations. In Holy Grounds, Schenck explores the relationship between coffee and religion, moving from faith-based legends that have become entwined with the history of coffee to personal narrative. He takes readers on a journey through coffee farms in Central America, a pilgrimage to Seattle, coffeehouses in Rome, and a monastic community in Pennsylvania. Along the way, he examines the power of ritual, mocks bad church coffee, introduces readers to the patron saint of coffee, wonders about ethical considerations for today's faith-based coffee lovers, and explores lessons people of faith should learn from coffeehouse culture about building healthy, authentic community.

This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 30 Day Devotional - Bold and Strong: Coffee Devotions for a Courageous Christian Walk by Joshua Rhoades is a powerful and inspiring journey that invites you to start each day with a cup of coffee and a heart full of courage. In this unique devotional, the author combines the invigorating experience of a morning brew with the spiritual boost of daily scripture and reflection, guiding you to live boldly and fearlessly in your Christian faith. Each day's devotion in Bold and Strong begins with a thought-provoking reflection that parallels the bold flavors and strength of different types of coffee with the boldness and strength required for a courageous Christian walk. Just as a cup of coffee can wake up your senses and prepare you for the day ahead, these devotions are designed to awaken your spirit and empower you to face life's challenges with faith and confidence. The author masterfully intertwines the rich, diverse world of coffee with timeless biblical truths. Whether you're savoring a strong espresso or enjoying the smoothness of a latte, each devotion draws a meaningful comparison to a scriptural principle. For instance, just as the beans in your coffee undergo a transformative process to become a delightful beverage, we too undergo spiritual transformation through trials and tribulations. The book features a variety of coffee types, each representing different aspects of Christian boldness, such as endurance, faith, resilience, and hope. The devotional spans 30 days, each day offering a scripture from the King James Version of the Bible, a heartfelt reflection, and a practical application. Rhoades encourages readers to meditate on the word of God and apply it in their daily lives. The scriptures chosen are powerful and uplifting, aimed at strengthening your faith and giving you the courage to overcome any obstacles. For example, one day's devotion might focus on Joshua 1:9, "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." This scripture serves as a reminder of God's constant presence and support, urging you to be fearless and steadfast. The reflection could relate this to the bold flavor of a dark roast coffee, symbolizing the robust strength God instills in us. Another day might delve into 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." The author might compare this to the smooth balance of a latte, illustrating how God's gifts of power, love, and a sound mind equip us to handle life's complexities with grace and assurance. Bold and Strong is more than just a devotional; it's a call to action. The author challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, to trust in God's promises, and to live a life marked by boldness and faith. The practical applications at the end of each devotion encourage you to take tangible steps in living out your faith courageously, just as you might start your day with a strong cup of coffee. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or simply seeking to deepen your faith, 30 Day Devotional - Bold and Strong: Coffee Devotions for a Courageous Christian Walk by Joshua Rhoades is the perfect companion. Let this book guide you to a place of spiritual renewal and bold living, one day, and one cup of coffee at a time.
