Table Time [Paperback]

Betty is in tears, they are moving and their family dining table has sold. But her unsympathetic husband says, The table isn't important, it is what happens at the table that matters This book is about both, the table, and what happens at the table. Table Time is an opportunity to step back in time and learn about the evolution of tables, cultural norms and manners from an era when people used their fingers to eat and knives were not even invented. It is an invitation to sit with people from all over the world as they share their table experiences with you. You will be entertained in Chronos (calendar) time, but discover it is in Kairos, or God's time, that lives are changed. You will read about friendship and forgiveness, how faith overcomes fear, and that Table Time is where life happens and memories are made; you may even experience your own Kairos moments.
