Evangelicals know that the power behind the eighteenth century revivals and the great nineteenth century missionary movement was prayer, and that the prayer was made out of hearts agonizing over the prospect of all who leave this world without Christ being lost. Was such prayer misconceived? uninstructed? foolish? wrong-headed? An evangelical who values his heritage must ponder that question, recognizing that if universalism is true all that missionary passion and praying was founded on a monstrous mistake.

pita rounds, yogurt, sliced tomatoes, lettuce and sprouts.  May add 8 oz.

END OF OFFICIAL RECIPE FROM COOKBOOK
Keep in mind that this is a book designed for a healthier eating pattern.
If you don't have whole wheat, regular flour will do.  And as some have
pointed out, this dish is usually deep-fried.  Keep in mind also (I suspect
that this is fair warning to all) the servings are small.  My husband and I
find that we often end up eating a double serving, so an eight serving
recipe actually ends up being a four serving recipe in my house (we love to
eat<g>).  See, I told you this is a good book to find odd recipes.  I just
had to look up chick-peas.
