You will believe that a toaster can talk! Throughout Biblical times, God called upon angelic beings to make special announcements to His people on earth. But God has many ways of speaking to us: beyond His Holy Word, we can hear His voice in the roar of the ocean surf, see His wisdom in a blade of grass, and learn valuable lessons from industrious ants and puffy rain clouds. And when it comes to learning about life, love and relationships, God’s “heavenly messengers” are everywhere. We find His “angels” in all walks of life, in books and on television—and even in the kitchen! Grab a cup of tea, find a comfy chair, and indulge in this witty collection of thought-provoking articles exploring the sights and sensations found in every home: an eccentric ensemble of kitchen gadgets, appliances and food items—and the important messages they can relate. You’ll meet Luke and Nuke, the twin microwaves, listen to the call of the Keurig, and discover why Fridgey the refrigerator loves the nightlife.
