Freebie Friday: From Tablet to Table by Leonard Sweet

Freebie Friday: From Table to Tablet | kristinschell.com

We’re back again this Friday with another fabulous new read for y’all in our giveaway series! This week’s Turquoise Table  inspiration book is:

From Tablet to Table by Leonard Sweet

I’m excited to give one of you a copy of From Tablet to Table. This book is such a great reminder to each of us of the importance of slowing down and taking the opportunity to spend time with one another around a table. It truly captures what is at the heart and vision behind the Turquoise Table as a place of nourishment, rest, rejuvenation, and meaningful connection.

Read more about From Tablet to Table

 plus my favorite recipe for Provencal Beef Stew

 

{From Amazon} What if the Bible were seen less as a tablet of ink than as a table of food? From Tablet to Table invites readers to explore the importance of The Table in biblical theology, and what it might mean for us to bring back the table to our homes, our churches, and our neighborhoods. The table pictures the grace of God’s provision for all aspects of our lives, a place of safe gathering, of finding identity in shared stories, of imparting food and faith, of playing host and finding satisfaction as a guest. Sweet explores how our failure to understand and appreciate “the most sacred item of furniture in every home” has created such a deficit in our fast-food, take-what-you-like-smorgasbord, together-but-separate society.

    My favorite moments around a table are ones of lingering. Life often feels like a desperate attempt to slow things down but I can only choose that for myself. My favorite moment around the table is lingering, laughter, connected hearts and leaving with a full of heart knowing we are grateful we said, yes to gather.

      Oh Julie I feel the same way… my prayer is often for my family and those at the table to linger a little longer. xo

    When everyone is talking and you just stop and listen to all the conversations and have to just smile. The feeling of less stress

      You are welcome, Tracey. It’s fun to share the books and authors who have made such an impact on the way I view the table, neighboring, and living in community.

    My favorite moments are almost always around the table…homework while I was cooking dinner, eating a meal, playing a game, planning for a trip…it’s the relationships and small talk that generally lead to deep relationships.

    Setting the dining table for guests like grandparents or special occasions like birthdays being celebrated with loved ones.

    That’s a hard one! A favorite is when my friend, Catherine, has me over. She always makes cooking for people a special occasion and she sets a beautiful table.

    Some favorite around-the-table moments are candlelit dinners with my husband; laughter and fun with friends; prayer and tears with girlfriends; celebrations with extended family

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!

I’m more realistic, reserved and battle weary thirty years later. But, I still believe in a place called hope.

I even found time to sit and stitch by the fire. 

Sure feels like we are making up for lost time and setting our hope for the year ahead. Happy New Year friends!!

We’ve never been here the week between Christmas and NYE and we’re excited to explore in the snow. ❄️ I’m already laughing at our summer stash of clothes we keep here —cotton leggings, hoodies, and fishing boots. Feel free to laugh with and at me. Also winter friends—give me all your tips.
