MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Walk into any bookstore and cookbooks abound. Problem is - they're all about cooking.

Newly-released, Come to the Table (Thomas Nelson Publishers) is an extraordinarily unique - if not first-of-its-kind - collection of stunning landscape photography, inspiring scripture and exquisite southern recipes. Organized in chapters on parties and picnics, small group dinners and family gatherings, it celebrates not only food, but the time we spend together around it.

"Every day, the Father invites us to enjoy the goodness of the earth He created. He calls us to enter the garden, pluck the choicest fruits and celebrate the gift of daily nourishment," says author Benita Long. "But, His nourishment is not limited to our bodies. God also longs to strengthen our minds and spirits through the beauty around us and with His powerful Word ... and that pretty well describes this book. Though it's full of wonderful recipes, it's so much more. It feeds the soul."
