HOW TO BAKE A BIBLE CAKE The mysterious envelope arrived in the morning mail. Inside was a typewritten cake recipe, copied, so it said, from the Miami Herald, and the ingredients were even more mysterious than the unknown sender. THE BIBLE CAKE a. 1 cup Judges 5:25 (last clause) b. 2 cups Jeremiah 6:20 c. 2 tsps. 1st Samuel 14:25 d. 6 Jeremiah 17:11 e. 1/2 cup Judges 4:19 (last clause) f. 4 1/2 1st Kings 4:22 (proportion to taste) g. 2 heaping tsps Amos 4:5 h. 1 cup 1st Samuel 30:12 (2nd phrase) I. 1 cup Nahum 3:12 j. 2nd Chronicles 9:9 (2nd phrase) to taste Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes Intrigued, I walked into the living room for my Bible. Once, George, my husband, had read to the children every night from this Book. Reverently I carried it to the kitchen and sat down in the breakfast nook. While ferreting out my ingredients, I rediscovered the beautiful passages of Judges, those special deliverers sent by God to release the Israelites from their oppressors. I found many passages that I read over and pondered upon: the book of Samuel, which authorities claim is the best specimen of prose in Hebrew literature; Amos, who provided so many pictorial allusions to the farming life of his day; and Jeremiah, the prophet, who never flinched from his duty.
