A Bible in . . . the kitchen?

Years ago, a neighbor who’d stopped by for a kaffeeklatsch saw a Bible on the cookbook shelf in my kitchen. She chuckled and said, “Who ever heard of a Bible in the kitchen?”

“Perfect place,” I answered. My next words came out so quickly and naturally: “The Bible contains the recipe for all healing.”

This was actually a quote from the book sitting right beside my Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science (p. 406)—and I knew it to be true from experience.
