At God's Table/En la mesa de Dios is a bilingual (Spanish-English) children's book that explores the richly symbolic practice of the Lord's Supper in Christian worshiping communities. In this vividly illustrated book, the celebration of the Lord's Supper unfolds as a multi-faceted event that nourishes our faith and stirs our imagination to see the gifts of grace and signs of God's ongoing work in our lives and God's world.
