Fresh From the Table: A Devotional Journey Through Jesus' Farewell Address invites readers to sit at the table with Jesus during His final night with the disciples and listen closely to the words He chose to leave behind.

Rooted in John chapters 14-16, this devotional explores Jesus' intimate after-dinner conversation--often called the Farewell Address--where He speaks about faith, peace, obedience, prayer, the Holy Spirit, eternal life, and what it means to truly know God.
