Following the pattern of his successful Advent Conspiracy, Chris Seay invites readers on a journey of self-examination, discipline, and renewed focus on Jesus that will change their lives forever. He challenges readers to eat like the poor for forty days in solidarity with a much-neglected group of people, and to donate the money they save on groceries to a charity or project that serves the poor in concrete ways. But he doesn't expect them to go it alone. A Place at the Table includes a short chapter for each of those forty days with Scripture, reflections, prayers, encouragement, and tips for engaging the whole family in the process. The six-session DVD, shot in such locations as the Holy Land, Haiti, and Ecuador, will help small groups and entire churches go on a passionate journey of radical faith, personal action, solidarity with the poor, and extravagant grace. 650 0 $a Fasting $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Poverty $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 941 $a 2 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816044831.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006062913.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E7EF8CED7B111E1ABA5A0BA6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
