by Mark Earley - Christian Post
When Christian actor Eduardo Verastegui devoted his career to serving God, he had no idea what might come out of his decision. He certainly couldn’t have imagined that his widely acclaimed movie Bella would literally save lives and souls. But that’s the story that author Tim Drake tells so well in his book "Behind Bella."

Green Cooking - 24 Ways to Reduce Kitchen Energy Consumption and Increase Efficiency
Americans waste hundreds of dollars per year when cooking because they are unaware of the opportunities to save energy and time in their home kitchens.

The concept of "Green Cooking" pertains not only to the appliances cooks use, but the habits practiced when cooking.

And this is not a harsh reality, because most people don’t have that: not one where there’s actually a survival aspect to their lives. They’ve still got things together in some way.
