The Lifegiving Table: Nurturing Faith Through Feasting, One Meal at a Time is chock full of wisdom, inspiration, scripture and yummy recipes, all stemming from Sally Clarkson's 30+ years of experience as a wife, mother and ministry leader. A beautiful follow up to her book, The Lifegiving Home, you'll want to add this to your ever-growing Clarkson collection. Sally weaves personal stories, scripture and practical tips - from how to set the mood to detailed recipes for specific tasty treats - to slow down that hurried dinner and make something quality out of it, finding those moments to celebrate life around the table, create memories and draw nearer to one another and the LORD. I appreciate that while she makes it seem so effortless, she acknowledges that it's not... it takes work and lots of prayer to make the dinner table more than a quick pit stop in our day. She touches on how to make simple meals to elaborate feasts mean something, how to celebrate milestones, find the joy in the holiday rush, and getting your week started right around your table! I think we could all use these reminders of taking the time to enjoy our meals together, rather than seeing them as an obligation or a rushed, chaotic pause in our day. Once again, Sally knocks it out of the ballpark - and brings home her message of love, faith and family in this inspiring book!
