Where this sits: the whole pathway. Because the table turns up at every stage, so this book belongs at all of them.
About the book
The table is where Jesus did some of His most important work. Not the synagogue. Not the temple. Not the mountaintop. The table.
In At the Table with Jesus, Nuno Barreto walks through eighteen meals Jesus shared in the Gospels, from the wedding at Cana to breakfast on the beach. At each one, Jesus does something that reveals who God is, how He treats people, and what He invites us into. He welcomes sinners. He feeds the hungry. He washes feet. He breaks bread. He restores the broken.
This is a devotional journey, not a study manual. Each chapter sits you down at one table and lets you stay there a while, until the scene becomes a mirror and the meal becomes an invitation. It is the communal companion to So I Ask Myself: where that book turns the mirror inward, this one gathers us around the table where grace is served.
What's inside
- Eighteen meals, in order through Jesus' ministry, from the wedding at Cana to the table that is still to come.
- Each chapter follows the same rhythm: the scene, what happened at the table, what it means for us, a question to sit with, a prayer, and a blessing.
- An appendix on the Old Testament tables that prepared the way, and an appendix gathering all the questions in one place.
- Written to be read alone, in a small group, or slowly over eighteen days or weeks.
"Loved before changed, called before cleaned, welcomed before worthy."
