MORE THAN A CASSEROLE Continued...
easier to learn by reading, than by having to experience firsthand. The book begins with
“The Appetizer” (Introduction): an anecdote which will remind the reader of her own
memories of “show and tell” and sets the theme for the book. Memories as a child hoping
to have the best item for “show and tell” then transitions to present day and challenges the
reader to aspire to become the best shining example of Christ for others to see on every
“share day” of life.
Christians have the reputation of taking food to friends and neighbors for every occasion
— so much so that we are often being teased about it. But what should one do when we
happen to notice the police car in front of the neighbor’s house? Or what could you do to
encourage a friend headed on a mission trip? A casserole hardly seems the answer. In
most cases, many people don’t do anything — and then they feel bad about it. Most people’s
excuse is: They just can’t think of anything appropriate to do!

The presence of a police car at a neighbor’s house can be unsettling to both the neighbor
and the neighbors. Depending on the circumstance, the neighbor may be embarrassed if
the situation was due to a family disturbance. On the other hand, the neighbor may need
