Reviews"You will want several copies of Welcome to Our Table --one to keep and others to give...to brides, cooks, and those desiring new traditions and celebrations. In this beautiful one-of-a-kind book Shirley and Danae open their recipe files, and their hearts, to present delightful decorating ideas and a treasury of tips, menus, and indelible inspiration. What a gift for all your gatherings!" -- June Hunt, founder and CEO of Hope For The Heart, author of Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes, "My wife Jane and I have welcomed many people to our table over the years and we always enjoy fellowship with others. Shirley and Danae have written a unique cookbook sharing not only some fabulous recipes, but assembling them around stories that have taken place around their tables. In Scripture the table represents fellowship while 'breaking bread' together. This is certainly something that Jesus Christ did while on earth and His presence was a 'sweet smelling savor.' For believers in Him, we will one day be welcomed to His heavenly table and will truly understand what it means to feast in the glory of His presence. Follow the Dobson women through Welcome to Our Table and then invite others to join you around yours to enjoy a meal, a word of testimony, and fellowship together. You never know how the Lord will use your gift of hospitality to lead others to Him." --Franklin Graham, president and CEO, Samaritan's Purse, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, "You will want several copies of Welcome to Our Table--one to keep and others to give...to brides, cooks, and those desiring new traditions and celebrations.
