Publisher's Summary:
Make your table a place where your family and friends long to be - where they will find rest, renewal, and a welcome full of love.
Beloved author Sally Clarkson (The Lifegiving Home, Own Your Life, Desperate) believes that meals lovingly served at home - and the time spent gathered together around the table - are a much-needed way to connect more deeply with our families and open our kids' hearts. Food and faith, mingled in everyday life, become the combination for passing on God's love to each person who breaks bread with us.
In The Lifegiving Table, Sally shares her own family stories, favorite recipes, and practical ideas to help you get closer to the people you love...and grow in faith together.

Great ideas for making mealtimes special
Finally someone tells me how to have a great dinner experience.
I have young kids, and dinners around our table are often chaotic and loud, and I am exhausted and just want to eat quietly and without fussing at the kids, or the kids fussing at each other. Sally Clarkson makes me feel that 1) I am not alone in this, 2) it won't always be that way, and 3) I can steer the tone of the dinner so that it gives me life instead of drains it.
Sally Clarkson has a way with making you feel that you are capable of having a Lifegiving Table. She knows that every home looks different than hers, but she is able to give practical hints on how to make the dinner table a place that breathes life into all who sit around it. She gives a glimpse of her own mealtimes, and then gives other ideas on how that might look around your own table.
The best part is that you know you can do it. It takes effort and thought, yes, but it is not out of reach. And any table, no matter how chipped or worn, or even not a table at all! can be one that gives life into those who gather around. Conversations start and hearts are formed for God in the every day moments around the dinner table. I have already noticed a difference in the way we commune at the table, and it has been nice (I've only been trying some ideas in the book for a few days now).
There are even some recipes that are simple, and yet delicious. I've tried out a few already.
I look at that and just feel like that's a dinner that I would like to be ...
We probably all long for the peaceful, lighthearted, inviting meal pictured on the front of this lovely book, The LifeGiving Table by Sally Clarkson. Am I right? I look at that and just feel like that's a dinner that I would like to be invited to!
Sally Clarkson's lovely book gives you that same feeling, a longing to have a table-life like she and her family do. The subtitle of the book is, "Nurturing faith through feasting, one meal at a time."
Throughout the book, the author describes how she has utilized mealtimes (and snack/tea times) as opportunities for sharing her life, wisdom, and faith with others. She shares abundantly with her family and children as well as with others she comes into contact with.
One of the purposes of this book is to encourage the readers to use meals/mealtimes as opportunities for service. Serving others through offering food, conversation, encouragement, and more.
