REBECCA’S BOOKS

 

STRASBOURG, FRANCE

Welcome, friend — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m privileged to have worn more hats than most people have spatulas — healthcare CEO, bed-and-breakfast owner, ministry leader, and even Culinary Director for an award-winning winery in Northern California. But no matter the role, one thing has stayed the same for me: I love bringing people together. Whether it’s been around a table in my own kitchen, in the fellowship of ministry, or halfway across the world, I believe food is one of God’s sweetest invitations to connect hearts.

Through my extensive travels, I’ve wandered the spice markets of Morocco, baked in the cozy kitchens of Puerto Rico, tasted street food in Singapore, and swapped recipes with friends in Georgia (the country, not the state).

Now I make my home in France, stirring together my passionate love for travel, faith, and cooking to share adventurous stories and savory recipes that feed both body and soul.


ONE WOMAN’S JOURNEY FROM SPIRITUAL BATTLE TO FREEDOM

Rebecca Mangual Forrest’s journey from resisting God’s divine gift of discernment to embracing it during a dark family trial reveals the fierce spiritual battles behind the scenes—and the freedom that comes when strongholds are broken.

A powerful story of faith, courage, and breakthrough.
