| Description: | Let's face it our society is built on consumption--and much of that is food consumption--buying, getting, eating. Whether it's food or other stuff, it seems the more we consume the more our spirits wither and starve. In a consumption-oriented society like ours, it's easy to forget that Jesus cared about the poor and wants his followers to do so as well. This resource invites you to challenge yourself to 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. The DVD includes six sessions shot on location in 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 40 short chapters with scripture, reflections, prayers, and encouragement. You can also download free resources and connect with others at www.chrisseay.net Chris Seay is a church planter, author and 3rd-generation Baptist pastor. He pastors Ecclesia Houston and has written many books including The Advent Conspiracy which the RMC also carries. A Place at the Table can be used anytime of year, but may be particularly helpful during Lent. |
