The Table Experience: Discover What Creates Deeper, More Meaningful Relationships

by Devi Titus

We're a society on the go. It seems we have more ways than ever to communicate with each other. And yet, despite the technology of texting, instant messages, cell phones, and video conferencing, our relationships often suffer from lack of quality communication. The answer is not better usage of technology, but rather in using a timely treasure...the table!

Uma mensagem bem interessante, porém, em virtude da repetição de narrativas, da extensão desnecessária, e da sensação de auto promoção da escritora, somente 2 estrelas.
É fato que a mensagem do livro é forte, interessante e cativante, mas a maneira como a história se desenrola deixou a leitura um pouco entediante.

Nunca imaginei que leria um livro sobre a mesa mas que bom que dei uma chance porque antes de ler este livro estava completamente alheia a importância que tem as refeições em familia mas graças a Devi titus percebi como por a mesa pode impactar diretamente em nossas relações.
O livro aborda os impactos de comer a mesa e como influência diretamente na construção do caráter, Não só o ato de nutrir o seu corpo com comida saudavel ou decorar a casa para as visitas, em A experiência do lar" a mesa posta abrage um significa bem maior, o de conexão: consigo, com os outros e com Deus

Amei ver Devi traçando a perspectiva bíblica, misturada com sua própria experiência e a experiência de outras mulheres. Fui muito inspirada e ensinada por esse livro ❤️

Everyone should read this book! The table is where relationships are made. It is vital to the fabric of the family and society that we break bread together. During the pandemic, I have made it a priority like no other time in my life, to have dinner together as a family. My three teenage boys, and even my husband sometimes, would rather eat in their bedrooms or in the living room, but I insist we eat at the table together at least 5/7 nights a week. I tell them this is our half hour to be a family every day -otherwise we are just roommates. We have also started playing card or board games after dinner. At first they grumbled about it and now they demand a game after dinner! It has been what has pulled us through this pandemic. It is a tradition, simple, but so necessary. We connect, we joke, we fight, we discuss and we are fed. It is is vital to have that family connection- it is what makes up greater society. We, as a country, need to turn off the screens for half an hour and sit at a table with our children, eat a nutritious meal, and laugh with one another. It is healing.

Super recomendo; durante a leitura, "percebi" que realmente isso dá bons resultados, pois quando minha família se reuniam envolta da mesa, havia uma harmonia, mesmo quando as coisas estavam "difíceis", porém quando deixavam de se reunir envolta da mesa e, isso durou bastante tempo, as coisas eram mais difíceis, me identifiquei com o conteúdo desse livro, pois agrega bastante para que tenhamos ou venhamos continuar com essas boas práticas...

This book was so heartwarming and truly spoke to me. I took my time reading it because I really wanted to absorb and allow the message to change me. If you're in the business of enjoying God's presence, promoting family and character growth amidst this chaotic world, learning how to love and care for others including strangers, this book is a must. This was my first Devi Titus book, but I definitely want to read others.

I agree with the author about the importance of table (eating, sharing, loving around a table) but it was way too churchy for my taste.
