Table Talk: Food for Thought That's Easy to Swallow! Joan Butman

Are you tired of fad diets and empty chatter that leave you unfilfilled? Do you crave more heartfelt conversations along with more carbs? Then pull up a chair and sample some of Joan Butman's original "soul food" in her new book, Table Talk: Food for Thought That's Easy to Swallow! Her menu includes calorie-free thoughts on everything from motherhood to window cleaning, with faith as the main ingredient."(Our kitchen table)...is a safe place where ideas are exchanged, values are challenged, and minds and hearts are influenced in a way that hopefully produces thoughtful, caring individuals. Let me add that our table talk at times involves strong disagreements, raised voices, tears, an occasional derogatory comment or two, and lots of indigestion. My mother used to say, 'Can't we just get through one meal with no crying?' However, the important thing is we always return to the table."This latest collection of essays from the author of Heart Murmurs is sure to delight your senses, fill your soul, and provide plenty of dishing to savor. So if you like your "soul food" served with a side order of smiles, come and sit at the kitchen table of Joan's heart and visit for a while... All proceeds from Table Talk go directly to FOCUS, the Fellowship of Christians in Universities and Schools, whose purpose is to share with independent school students a life rooted in God that is real, adventurous, intellectually sound, and eminently practical.
