I’m sharing my review
today about Come to the Table, written by Neta Jackson, a favorite author of
mine. The story features three students
from Chicago Crista University and a homeless gal with her son. Also in this
story, Avis and Peter appear from the loved Yada Yada Sisters Series.
This novel is the second
book of the SouledOut Sisters series and can be read easily by itself. Nick, Brygitta, Kat and Rochelle and her six
year old son, Conny all share an apartment and learn to apply Christian
principles to living together in harmony overcoming jealousy, criticism and
insecurity. The author does a great job
of integrating biblical topics in the storyline and just like the characters,
you find yourself asking questions like who should be baptized, is church
membership a necessary commitment and how to interact with someone with HIV. I
specifically like the way the main character, Kat, learns how to slow down and
pray for God’s leading before running off with her many ideas and getting way in
over her head.
The story focuses on
serving God by serving His people through a food pantry ministry. It includes a touch of romance and some great
lessons in communication. I found it to
be delightful and entertaining with a few surprises in the last few chapters.
Sounds like a great read Mary!

ReplyDeleteoh Shoot!! I was in the Christian bookstore today and tried to remember the name of your book and couldn't... next time I'll pick it up. Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteNice review.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book. Applying Christian principles while living with a group of people can be challenging.
