This companion study to The Lifegiving Table by popular author Sally Clarkson will help you discover the faith-growing, relationship-building power of coming together over meals and special occasions.

Food and meals have great significance in the stories of the Bible. Jesus ushered in His ministry by providing new wine--the best of wine--at a wedding feast. The final evening before Jesus was going to be crucified, He strategically set the stage for His most profound messages to be shared with His inner circle during a meal. Following Scriptures example, Sally Clarkson believes that meals lovingly served at home can be a significant tool in the lives of our family and friends, opening hearts and providing a setting for connection, counsel, and affection.

Join Sally and her family in this guided experience (for groups or individuals) to discover how food, faith, and Scripture come together in your everyday life--becoming the means of passing on Gods love and truth to each person who breaks bread with us. Saber más

From the flap (HC edition):
Days before converging on our home for a family gathering this summer, both of our sons called me.
"Mama, I can hardly wait to get there."
"What is your favorite expectation about coming home?" I asked each of them.
Both boys answered with almost the same words, even though they were now separated by two thousand miles! "It is the feasting every night around the table with delicious home-cooked food, being each other’s best friends, talking about every possible subject and sharing in each other’s lives . . . that is my favorite part. I need my people. I want a place to belong."

It’s no accident that they feel this way. Creating a lifegiving table in their home was a priority for Sally and Clay Clarkson from the very beginning, and they put effort and intention into making it happen.

In The Lifegiving Table, join Sally as she shares the lessons she and her family cultivated carefully through years of sitting down together; cooking, baking, and preparing meals; and practicing the disciplines of teaching manners and fostering conversation.

You’ll discover the legacy of creating a lifegiving table in your own home, as you knit your hearts together to form tight bonds that will not easily be broken. Saber más
