Nathan was different and Sally knew it.
From his early childhood, Nathan was bursting with creativity and uncontainable energy, struggling not only with learning issues but also with anxiety and OCD. He saw the world through his own unique lens--one that often caused him to be labeled as "bad," "troubled," or someone in need of "fixing."

Bravely choosing to listen to her motherly intuition rather than the loud voices of the world, Sally dared to believe that Nathans differences could be part of an intentional design from a loving Creator with a plan for his life. She trusted that the things that made him different were the very things that could make him great.

Join Sally and Nathan as they share their stories from a personal perspective as mother and son. If you are in need of help and hope in your own journey with an outside-the-box child, or if youre an adult trying to make sense of your differences, youll find deep insight, resonance, and encouragement in the pages of this book. Dare to love and nurture the "different" one in your life. Saber más

Make your table a delightful, lifegiving space where your family and friends long to be-where they will find rest, renewal, inspiration, and a loving welcome.
When Sally Clarkson sets a table in her home, it’s more than just a place and a time to eat and run. It’s an opportunity to gather as family and friends to connect and commune, to open children’s hearts to lively discussions that will feed their faith, and to enjoy the beauty and bounty of God’s creation.

In The Lifegiving Table, bestselling author Sally Clarkson shares her family stories of table talk and faith-shaped conversations, as well as her favorite recipes and practical ideas, all drawn from over thirty years of parenting and ministry. You’ll discover why the table is a place of belonging and anticipation where we break bread together to receive both food and faith for our lives, and where we open our hearts to savor the love of God. You’ll also find a feast of ways to grow in faith and draw closer to the people you love around the table you set in your home.

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

At the heart of this book is a fundamental truth many Christian parenting books overlook-the life of God.
The Lifegiving Parent is about what we did to bring God’s life into our home for our children to see and believe. That’s what it means to be lifegiving parents-to introduce our children to the living God of Scripture and to give them the life that we have found in Him.

We offer no special or secret formula that will make you a successful Christian parent, and we would counsel you to avoid any parenting book that does. We offer only our personal experience and insights, and the promise that God’s grace will be in abundant supply for anything you decide to do, by faith, to become a lifegiving parent for your children.

That will be the real story of this book-how God comes alive in your family.
