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 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.

With Teatime Discipleship, Sally will invite you in, pour you a cup of tea, and share with you what she's learned about how our incredible Lord reveals His glory through our home life, relationships, and daily responsibilities.

A mother's life is a whirlwind of seasons, changing from one to another without much warning, and then to another the next day. If your heart is prepared, you can adjust to whatever season comes upon you, weathering the changes with grace; if it is not, you will find yourself reeling and twisting in the winds of life, grasping for something or someone to hold onto. But that is the secret to weathering the seasons of life. You need something God s word, and someone Jesus Christ, to hold onto. They are what give you the grace to weather the seasons. Nothing else can...Only the revealed truth of God made alive in your heart through the Holy Spirit can. --from Seasons of a Mother's HeartEncouragement for Your SeasonsYour heart will be encouraged as you read the touching stories, spiritual insights, and personal lessons that are the seasons in Sally Clarkson's life.
