The Life-Giving Table by Sally Clarkson

Sally Clarkson has quickly become one of my favorite authors and I absolutely adore all of her new books that she has been releasing lately. I am very much family oriented and The Life-Giving Table has found a special place in my heart.

I love how Clarkson is extremely family directed. She loves sharing her heart and feelings about her family and encouraging the reader to do the same. In a society that is all about self, Clarkson stands out because of her focus on building up the family and nourishing them and this is very self evident if you have followed her for any amount of time on social media or know any of her other books.

What I really loved about The Life-Giving Table is that she is brining back a part of family life that has been lost in recent years...gather around the table for dinner and actually being a family. We have gotten so caught up in rushing around to different activities and grabbing dinner on the go, we are missing out on an important time where we can connect and learn about each other's day and touch base with our families more.

While encouraging the reader to gather with their family around the dinner table, she has built this entire book, and the inspirational words on the pages, in biblical foundation. Throughout the book she offers scripture that you could pull from the pages and use for scripture memory practice, posting around the house for long-term focus, or just using as a thought for the day to ground your family in scripture. Clarkson also has included some fabulous recipes that you can add to your families gathering or just a nightly dinner that could eventually become a tradition in your life and passed down through the generations.

I really enjoyed this book and will be getting the study guide that goes with it to help implement more family time and family dinners in our lives. If family is important to you, I highly recommend this book and any others from Clarkson. They will help you lift your family to a whole new height and hopefully create some traditions that you can pass down to the younger generations so that they can carry them on.

Gather around your table and create some new memories with your family. You won't regret it and if you need a little help....get this book!!!
