In one faraway land, before fruits were eaten by people, they lived on their own in the Fruit Kingdom.

A historical account of the role of fruit in the modern world explores the machinations of multi-national corporations in distributing exotic fruits, the life of mass-produced fruits, and the author's experience with unusual varieties that are unavailable in America.

Jane Grigson?s Fruit Book includes a wealth of recipes, plain and fancy, ranging from apple strudel to watermelon sherbet. Jane Grigson is at her literate and entertaining best in this fascinating compendium of recipes for forty-six different fruits. Some, like pears, will probably seem homely and familiar until you've tried them ¾ la chinoise. Others, such as the carambola, described by the author as looking ?like a small banana gone mad,? will no doubt be happy discoveries. ø You will find new ways to use all manner of fruits, alone or in combination with other foods, including meats, fish, and fowl, in all phases of cooking from appetizers to desserts. And, as always, in her brief introductions Grigson will both educate and amuse you with her pithy comments on the histories and varieties of all the included fruits. ø All ingredients are given in American as well as metric measures, and this edition includes an extensive glossary, compiled by Judith Hill, which not only translates unfamiliar terminology but also suggests American equivalents for British and Continental varieties where appropriate.

In Forgotten Fruits, Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating - often rather bizarre - stories behind Britain's rich heritage of fruit and vegetables. Take Newton Wonder apples, for instance, first discovered around 1870 allegedly growing in the thatch of a Derbyshire pub. Or the humble gooseberry which, among other things, helped Charles Darwin to arrive at his theory of evolution. Not to mention the ubiquitous tomato, introduced to Britain from South America in the sixteenth century but regarded as highly poisonous for hearly 200 years. This is a wonderful piece of social and natural history that will appeal to every gardener and food aficionado.

BEARING THE FRUITS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD is a book written to help you in your walk and relationship with God in this end-time. It is like a light to guide you in making right choices to live for God alone in a generation that is blanketed by gross darkness. In this book, you will learn how God ordained you to arise and shine as light in spite of the gross darkness that shall cover the peoples in this end-time. This is your time and this is your season! Now arise and bring forth the fruits of the Kingdom of God, that this generation may see your good works, that they may give glory to our Father in heaven. This book unveils to you the Secrets To Inheriting the Kingdom. Bible says that some people will not inherit the Kingdom because of their choices and lifestyles. I want you to know that it is good to see the Kingdom of God and enter it, but uppermost in the mind of God is that you may inherit the Kingdom of God. In this book, you will learn not only how to see the kingdom and enter it, but also how to inherit the Kingdom of God by bearing the fruits of it. God gives His Kingdom to those who bear the fruits of it. God made His intention known from the beginning--He wants fruits from His creation-nothing more, nothing less! Not any fruit that proceeds from us, but fruits that are born of our spiritual union with Him. God wants from man, the crowning glory of His creation, fruits that reflect His character and nature. From the beginning, God had His Kingdom in mind-a Kingdom that would become His domain of rulership, influence, will, and authority upon the earth. Though the primary domain of God's Kingdom is man's heart-where the image and likeness of God are registered; God's ultimate intention was for the sway of His Kingdom upon the earth to be all-pervasive. The man God created in His image was to be the authority symbol of the Kingdom of God upon the earth. The man created in the image of God was to be a co-ruler with God in the government and administration of the earth, that the will of God might be executed upon the earth. This is the reason God ensured that the dominion to execute His will was given to man. God wants fruits from you; it is when you bear fruits that reveal the nature and character of God that God is glorified. When you bear the fruits of the kingdom of God, then you are fulfilling God's purpose for your creation, and God is consequently glorified. This is my major objective for writing this book-to show you vividly God's original intention for man upon the earth-which is to bear fruits that reveal the nature of His person and kingdom. In this book, you will see and learn how in Christ Jesus, God restored to man the fruit-bearing capability that the devil stole from him through craftiness. Without first restoring the image of God in man, which got corrupted through sin, there is no restoration of dominion. "But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" - Psalm 37: 11 "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth" - Matt. 5: 5 As you can see, the earth belongs to the meek. Meekness is a fruit of the kingdom. Meekness is not weakness, it is power under control. The meek are those who daily submit to the rule and authority of God. They shall not only inherit the earth, but they shall also inherit the kingdom!
