"My family lived in France for five years. It was a wonderful time. After some initial culture shock, my wife and I slowly began to absorb French culture, language, and food. Oh, the food! Often my mornings began with a café au lait and a buttery croissant! Stephanie Rousselle has helped me to discern the connection and relationship between French food, culture, and language and Jesus' life and teaching. So, grab this book and settle down for a slow, delightful meal. No rush. Rousselle is a wise, discerning writer, and her insights will feed your mind and soul. Bon appétit!"

"I find the faith of someone who first experiences Christ later in life marvelously refreshing. Toss that in with some French flair, and you have a recipe for fresh faith. Stephanie Rousselle grew up an atheist in France, lived all over the world, and brings a fresh fusion of faith to those of us who find ourselves munching on the stale bread of familiarity. Awaken Delight invites you to experience Christ in all of his fullness, transforming your relationship with him into something truly beautiful."
