"There
are so many wonderful ideas in this book—all of
which would adapt beautifully into our homes and
a wide variety of ministries in our churches and
communities..."

| Girls
Clubs = Adventure!
I
had the honor of directing the Amah-El Club
for 10 years. Dozens of clubbers came and
went, most of whom are now high school or
college graduates and many are married with
children of their own.
Girls
club was great fun, slightly demanding and
always full of surprises. Along the way
it provided a unique training ground. In
the process of making hundreds of meals-of-encouragement,
one at a time, the members of Amah-El learned
how to cook, to work in teams, to clean-up
their own messes, and how to smile and cope
when the pressure was on and everything
was going wrong.
And things did go wrong!
There was the day when not one, but two
entire recipes ended up on the floor—upside
down! Another day ¼ cup, instead
of ¼ teaspoon, of salt was added
to the main dish. Yet another hilarious
disaster presented itself when a teen added
2 cups of brown sugar instead of 2 cups
of rice to a casserole. Go figure!
With this book, and your own energy, ideas
and investment, you will be in a position
to touch young lives by hosting the precise
number of events that your time, finances
and motivation allow. Even one session would
be valuable, but maybe you could do one
per quarter, one per month, or, like us,
one or more per week.
Whatever your idea, even if your main goal
is to spend some quality time in the kitchen
with your own children preparing meals for
others, just run with it!
By
the way, while the Amah-El Club was created
specifically for girls, the concepts were
equally useful when I ran a six-week cooking
course for boys. The plans, menus and tips
in this eBook have also been successfully
taught in home economics and teen-parent
classes.
The
cost of the eBook is $16.95.

This
150 page eBook was written in response
to the many who have asked me for details
during the past decade: missionaries,
pastor's wives, church planters, parents,
teachers, girl scout leaders, youth pastors
and others.
It
is the book I wish I would have had when
I started my own club in 1992. Unfortunately,
when you are busy doing this type of thing,
you don't usually have time to write about
it. This eBook, for example, was in progress
for years, but I didn't finish it until
two years after the final Amah-El club
session. Thanks to all of you who have
been ever-so-patient!
