Lent is often about fasting—but Jesus spent much of his ministry feasting! Around the Table with Jesus offers a unique seven-week Bible study and devotional that invites you to explore Jesus’ journey to the cross through meals, scripture, and fellowship.

Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean food and culture, author and chef Lori Wagner provides recipes that echo the flavors of Jesus’ time and complement each week’s study. From Tilapia Capernaum to Lentil Stew, these healthy and easy-to-prepare dishes serve as both nourishment for the body and metaphors for the Lenten journey.

This study encourages Christians to gather around the table, sharing food and faith in the spirit of Christ. With devotionals, prayers, and group activities, this book creates a sacred space for honest sharing and meaningful connection.

Whether you use this resource individually or with a group, you’ll experience Lent as a time to deepen your relationship with Jesus and each other. Explore the joy of gathering with Him, and let your table become a place where His presence blesses and heals.

Features include:

Mediterranean-inspired recipes paired with weekly themes and scripture
Devotional reflections and thought-provoking questions for group or personal use
A Lenten planning calendar and tips for hosting communal meals
Opportunities to journal, reflect, and challenge yourself to live out Jesus’ teachings
