Issue Seven of Table Talk is called Heroes & Zeros. Three months of Bible readings to help you investigate who Jesus is and why He came in Mark's Gospel, to check out the book of Judges to see if the Israelites will live for God now that they're in the promised land, and to meet Ruth - King David's great grandmother.

Table Talk is for families with children from 4 yrs and up to use for daily Bible times. Each day takes about five minutes, maybe at breakfast or after an evening meal. Choose whatever time suits you best as a family.

Table Talk links in with XTB Bible reading notes for children. (XTB stands for eXplore The Bible). The Bible passages are the same each day for Table Talk and XTB - so you can use the two books together, or on their own. Whichever suits you best.
