In 2004, Canadian Kathy Binns was offered a job teaching middle school in Moscow. Thus began an incredible overseas adventure that lasted seventeen years. With humour, candour, and a keen observational eye, Kathy recounts her memorable experiences inside and out of the English-speaking expat bubbles in the various places she and her husband Michael lived and worked. Russia Bangladesh, Thailand, Jeju Island, South Korea, and the UAE provided extraordinary experiences. At times, her circumstances were stressful, but as she observes, the good always outweighed the bad. Her memoir takes readers on an enlightening and entertaining tour across the globe. Kathy covers the nitty-gritty travelogue details of food, language, flora and fauna, where to stay, and how to get around. She delves into the fascinating history and cultural contexts of each place she has lived. Anyone considering an international teaching adventure of their own will benefit from the wealth of experiential wisdom and practical advice that Kathy shares along the way—but everyone with a bit of wanderlust will appreciate this account of the joys and challenges of living overseas!

This thoroughly engaging encyclopedia considers the rich diversity of unfamiliar foods eaten around the world. The title They Eat That?: A Cultural Encyclopedia of Weird and Exotic Food from around the World says it all. This fun encyclopedia, organized A–Z, describes and offers cultural context for foodstuffs people eat today that might be described as "weird"—at least to the American palate. Entries also include American regional standards, such as scrapple and chitterlings, that other regions might find distasteful, as well as a few mainstream American foods, like honey, that are equally odd when one considers their derivation. A long narrative entry on insects, for example, discusses the fact that insects are enjoyed as a regular part of the diet in some Asian, South and Central American, and African countries. It then looks at the kinds of insects eaten, where and how they are eaten, cultural uses, nutrition, and preparation. Each of the encyclopedia's 100 entries includes a representative recipe or, for a food already prepared like maggoty cheese, describes how it is eaten. Each entry ends with suggested readings.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 You can’t mess up because you can’t stop altogether. As long as you get right back on track, you will keep making progress. The hardest part of losing weight, getting stronger, and becoming healthier isn’t figuring out what to eat or finding the perfect workout plan; it’s cultivating a mindset that allows you to believe in your ability to succeed. #2 There is a common misconception that if you can’t do a comprehensive workout in an hour, it isn’t worth doing at all. This is nonsense. Something is always better than nothing. You won’t feel 100 percent ready to begin, but you’ll feel better just by beginning. #3 You may be anxious about what you’re going to eat or drink when dining with friends who are trying to lose weight. The fear of ruining your progress by overeating or drinking unhealthy beverages is always present. #4 Your friend who can eat whatever they want without gaining weight didn’t finish all their fries, but they had a few bites and stopped eating when they were full. They drank a glass of water and went to bed early so they could wake up hydrated and exercise.

In Eating by Faith, Lisabeth invites you into the secret world of her eating disorder, and recovery. And while the illness looks different for every patient, all share a commonality of symptoms physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Eating by Faith will bring you into the mind and heart of someone suffering from the illness in such a brutally honest way, that you will have a greater understanding of the mind and heart of anyone suffering from this illness. Her eating disorder, like most, takes root inside a secret place. This root is often anchored in the lies Satan would have us believe about ourselves. Once established, he will use the eating disorder to separate us from God, robbing us from our joy and our identity in Christ's unconditional love. Lisabeth's story is one of wrestling with the eating disorder, herself, and God. It is about finding her identity in the love of Christ instead of her illness. Taste and See...
