Free (nook/Kindle/Christianbook) A Place at the Table [Christian Devotional Challenge

[ATDrake]

A Place at the Table: 40 Days of Solidarity with the Poor by Chris Seay is a faith-based devotional with a challenge to walk in another person's shoes (and maybe spare some change to help them buy nicer ones afterwards) for what I assume is the upcoming Lent season, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker.

Currently free @ B&N and Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK). May also show up at Christian Book.

Description
In a culture built on consumption--especially of food--it is easy to forget the poor that Jesus cared so much about. Following the pattern of his successful Advent Conspiracy, Chris Seay invites readers on a journey of self-examination, discipline, and renewed focus on Jesus that will change their lives forever.

He challenges readers to eat like the poor for forty days in solidarity with a much-neglected group of people, and to donate the money they save on groceries to a charity or project that serves the poor in concrete ways. But he doesn't expect them to go it alone.

A Place at the Table includes a short chapter for each of those forty days with Scripture, reflections, prayers, encouragement, and tips for engaging the whole family in the process. The six-session DVD, shot in such locations as the Holy Land, Haiti, and Ecuador, will help small groups and entire churches go on a passionate journey of radical faith, personal action, solidarity with the poor, and extravagant grace.
