About this title

Review:

So often we hold back from getting involved with cultures other than our own - we are afraid that we might embarrass or offend. Chapatis for Tea is a practical guide to help us reach out to our Hindu neighbours. Hinduism is a lifestyle religion with many variations of ideals and beliefs, and many scholarly tomes have been written about it. This, however, is a book for ordinary folk who want to befriend their neighbours and colleagues. The suggestions are practical and down-to-earth and each chapter ends with things to do/action to take. For example, why not exchange recipes with an Indian neighbour ... The book is easy to read and the layman's guide to Hinduism is both fascinating and informative. It is practical and user-friendly and it has the additional advantage that it is a British book relating to contemporary British life. -- Source not recorded

This is a delightful and eye-opening book; everyone living in a multi-racial area, whether it is predominantly Hindu or not, would benefit from reading it. How can we begin to love our Hindu neighbour? Very easily and simply. Those who want to study Hindu religion and culture in depth can look elsewhere, but here we have sufficient background for understanding what it is that our friends have been taught from childhood. These are the preliminaries to becoming friends and sharing what Jesus means to you. Reaching, sharing and loving can be hard work -- learning Scripture, seeing how it use it, and above all, prayer for your friends and with your friends. This book tells how you can begin to share with them in prayer long before they have embraced the Gospel. -- Fellowship of Christian Writers
