About this title

Synopsis

Kat Davies is suddenly wondering if her good deed was a bad idea.

Kat may be new in her faith, but she&;s embraced the more radical implications of Christianity with reckless abandon. She invited Rochelle&;a homeless mother&;and her son to move in the apartment she shares with two other housemates. And she&;s finally found a practical way to channel her passion for healthy eating by starting a food pantry at the church.

Her feelings for Nick are getting harder to ignore. The fact that he&;s the interning pastor at SouledOut Community Church and one of her housemates makes it complicated enough. But with Rochelle showing interest in Nick as a father-figure for her son, their apartment is feeling way too small.

But not everyone thinks the food pantry is a good idea. When the woman she thought would be her biggest supporter just wants to &;pray about it,&; Kat is forced to look deeper at her own motives. Only when she begins to look past the surface does she see people who are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink and realizes the deeper significance of inviting them to &;come to the table.&;

&;. . . the plot and characters remain fresh and vibrant, shining spiritual truth from each page.&; &;Romantic Times TOP PICK for Stand by Me

Reviews

Fans of Jackson’s Yada Yada Prayer Group books will love the newest in her SouledOut Sisters series. Kat Davies, always impulsive, is trying to figure out how her passion for food and her new Christian faith can come together. Add to the mix two part-time jobs; Rochelle, her new roommate; Rochelle’s little boy, Cony; and a burgeoning interest in her other housemate, Nick, and Kat certainly has her hands full. Nick, meanwhile, is adjusting to his new pastoral intern role at the SouledOut church. He is spending much of his free time with Cony, and Rochelle is also strongly attracted to him. As Kat and Nick dance around their mutual interest, their lives become more intertwined when Kat is inspired to start a food pantry at their church. Come to the Table is full of Jackson’s signature blend of wit and heart. Her characters are totally relatable, and both fans and new readers will enjoy the perspective of this new generation of Chicagoans seeking faith and direction. --Carolyn Richard
