Table Talk 3: Comings and Goings

excellent resource for family devotions

 This works well for us (Mum, Dad, 11 yr old boy and 8 yr old boy) - we use it after our main meal of the day. I say 'it works well' - the boys aren't always enthusiastic to read the Bible, but 'this is what we do as a family', and it takes less than 10 mins! We sometimes do the activities at the start, but sometimes simply adapt them into a discussion. The Bible study is good - makes us all think about the reading. And it is good to apply that to our lives too. We then have our prayer time at the end. Although this is book 3, we've actually used 7 other 'Table Talk' over the passed few years, and it is by far the best resource we've found for our family devotions. 

Great for small Kids Church

(Review written for 'Table Talk 1: The Book of Beginnings')

 I've looked at lots of resources for teaching our small Kids Church. We have found Table Talk enabled us to put together great lessons that are theologically sound, and often more in depth then many other resources. We combine 2 studies most weeks, our primary school age break off and look further at the lessons using the XTB studies while we do a related craft with the infants. 

Just what we were looking for

(Review written for 'Table Talk Subscription')

 We have three children (5, 2 and 5 months). Table Talk is just what we were looking for to start out family bible readings. The studies are faithful to the bible, but can be made short enough for a 5 year old attention span. The 2 year old and 5 month old aren't getting much out yet! 

wonderful for families!

 Our family is new to this series, but we are all benefiting from it! We have a 6.5yr old and a 4yr old who participate well when we spend this special time together. The 6.5yr old definitely gets more out of it than the 4yr old, but it's still interesting for her. We definitely recommend it! 

Very helpful

(Review written for 'Table Talk 7: Heroes & Zeros')

 My wife and I find table talk provides good ideas and a very helpful way of teaching the bible to our 5 and 6 year olds. There are good suggestions as to activities or discussion topics to get them started and good questions to guide us through the passage. It is excellent value! 

A great resource for families

(Review written for 'Table Talk Subscription')

 We have recently graduated onto Table Talk after 6 years with toddler-aimed daily readings and we have been thrilled by the response of our primary-aged children. We never imagined that we could have a proper bible study round the breakfast table which stretches our 10 year old while also engaging the 6 year old and being quick enough to get to school on time. This is a tremendous blessing to Christian families. 

Generally a good idea

(Review written for 'Table Talk Subscription')

 Am currently using it with my 5 and 4 yr old. Some of it goes above the 4 yr old's head and the 5yr old at times. Be prepared to dumb it down, and if able to do that, then its great. 

A very good, flexible study plan for primary age kids

(Review written for 'Table Talk 2 : Miracles & Dreams')

 I do table talk over breakfast with my two boys, 5 and 3. It provides a very good simple structure that works quite well as part of a breakfast routine. The plans are clear to read for parents, and make it easy to be flexible according to the child's age / capability. We've been using it for 6 months now, and it's still working well. I also like the way that big truths are tackled in simple ways.
