Now here's Paul with Elise Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher on the Connecting Podcast.

Well, we always begin these podcasts by me bringing in some kind of object that I think illustrates God's amazing love for us.

This is a cookbook by a chef George Perrier.

George was the chef of a remarkable restaurant in Philadelphia called Lebeck Finn.

It was one of the top French restaurants in the world.

People came from all over the world to go to this restaurant.

And it was a tasting menu and quite expensive.

But one evening, someone invited Llewela and me to go to this restaurant.

We could have never afford that ourselves.

And they, unbeknownst to me, told chef Perrier that there's a famous author eating there,

which is laughable.

And he came out and presented me with this cookbook that he signed.

It's one of my prize possessions.

What he could do with food was just so amazing.
