In our busy world, family time around the dinner table is easily
displaced by other things. Ted and Amy Cunningham call parents to a
slower way of living that allows them to intentionally build into their
family’s relational and spiritual fabric and into the community around
them.
No more rushing to the table for a quick bite so we can get back to our other activities. Prioritizing mealtime slows us down long enough to enjoy our food, each other, and Jesus. Inspired by the slow food movement, Come to the Family Table seeks to encourage families with intentional strategies to engage one another and create the table as a space for practical ministry to their community.

"I loved this book! I felt welcomed to Ted and Amy’s dinner table as they shared stories, advice, and ideas for a more vibrant and intentional way of doing family. If you want to connect more deeply with your kids, God, and your community, read this book!"
---SHANNON ETHRIDGE, Life/relationship coach and author of twenty-two books, including the bestselling Every Woman’s Battle series
"One of the highlights of our day is sitting down together as a family of six for dinner. With four boys, most meals are filled with energy, laughs, and loud noises, but not a lot of intentional conversation. Come to the Family Table by Ted and Amy Cunningham reminds us of the value of making memories and raising disciples together around our kitchen table. This book will help you transform theway you view the precious times you have together with your spouse, kids, friends, and family. In our fast-paced, go-go-go culture, Come to the Family Table will challenge the way you view food, meals, and even time with your family. The book is based on God’s Word and is practical, creative, and ready to be applied!"---SCOTT KEDERSHA, Director of premarital and newly married ministries at WatermarkCommunity Church
