Preaching is a central task in the lives of clergy, and yet it sometimes seems as though the pressure to produce, combined with other duties of parish life, becomes a burden and contributes to the busyness that squeezes out time for spiritual practices. Steeped in the Holy seeks to reclaim the spiritual foundations for preaching, inviting clergy and students to see preparation and preaching not as an intrusion, but as an opportunity to engage with God and to develop practices that deepen a relationship with God and feed preaching..

Tea and History ..

As far as untenured junior history professor Teodora Morelli is concerned, nobody waits with bated breath for a new, politically correct history of the infamous Confederate general George Pickett's adventures in the Northwest Indian Wars. Nobody, that is, except a wealthy potential patron-maiden-named "Pickett," not coincidentally--and the university president who assigns the project to a most reluctant Teddy Morelli.

Can be a Lethal Combination

But Teddy hasn't even begun when her mentor--the kindly department chairman who was going to help rid of the dreaded assignment--dies an unseemly and very suspicious death. Soon after, a valuable Chinese tea chest mysteriously vanishes. The suggestion that these events are in any way linked to the Pickett history at first seems as absurd as wacky Uncle Aldo's tale of a tribe of bigfoot monsters in the Seattle area. But Teddy's research into the past--both distant and recent--is dangerously roiling the chilly waters of Puget Sound. And it's bringing a killer with unfinished business into Teddy's unprotected present.

Spanning the globe from Russia to Japan, from Kenya to Palestine, from Germany to Sumatra, Steeped is a literary anthology about the world's most popular drink. This full-color, beautifully illustrated collection celebrates the ancient traditions of tea, and their place in the modern world. Here are recipes for Moroccan mint tea, the perfect Indian chai, Chinese fertility tea. And just as conversation and stories go naturally with a cup of tea, there are stories that take you around the world: to Japan during the Korean War, to a tea picnic on the roof of the world in the Himalayas, to a Sumatran jungle where POWs eat Danish cookies and drink English tea over chess, to an American kitchen where a Palestinian makes mint tea.

A quirky and moving selection of essays and poems, Steeped does much more than evoke that delicious, hot or cold, spicy or soothing, dizzying or healing beverage. It is an intimate invitation-Can I make you a cup of tea?-writ large. Here, tea drinking bridges the ethnic, continental, and temporal divides of our rapidly changing world..
