The Table At The End Of The World

Description

This book is about the regard we give to others. Regard doesn't save people, the Good News does. But regard is our most tender, basic and visible sign that this News is true.

We go out and see people where they are, in the places where they do their sitting and their eating and their living and their dying, and this regard is our song to them. Our most tender, basic, and visible sign of the reality of Christ, the forgiveness of sin, and the homecoming offered only in Him. Offered to people as they are, the world as it is, the situation as it stands, and the moments we find ourselves in.

And so, what we do is very ordinary. But it is an ordinary thing in a sad place. An ordinary thing at the end of the world, at the very heart of all they've lost, all the trouble they're in, and all the lies they've been told.

We go and visit the people whose world has ended, and set up a table at the end of the world.
