Synopsis

In a culture built on consumption - especially of food - it is easy to forget the poor that Jesus cared so much about. We get caught up in acquiring, buying, getting, eating. Yet paradoxically, the more stuff we consume the more our spirits wither and starve. A Place at the Table invites you on a journey of self-examination, discipline, and renewed focus on Jesus that will change your life forever. Author Chris Seay is giving you a challenge - eat like the poor for 40 days and donate the money you save on groceries to a charity or project that serves the poor in concrete ways. But Chris doesn't expect you to go it alone. This DVD includes six sessions, shot in such locations as the Holy Land, Haiti, and Ecuador, to help small groups and entire churches go on a passionate journey of radical faith, personal action, solidarity with the poor, and extravagant grace. The companion book includes forty short chapters with Scripture, reflections, prayers, and encouragement.
