From Tablet to Table

From Tablet to Table by Leonard Sweet
Read Feb/March 2021 - Books With Friends



I enjoyed many parts of this book and learned from it.  However, the author annoyed me a bit.  If you can get past that there is a lot of good info.  Basically, he states that the table should be a focus of our homes, churches, and communities and that Jesus is the table.  He references how often food is used in the gospels - including the Eucharist.  He makes the case that sharing a table with others dispels anger, lets us truly know and see others, offers conversation instead of fighting or ignoring others.  It also establishes intimacy, provides for and serves others, and builds community and relationships.  I'm on board.
