Customer Reviews

Been through it, too.

After I lost my seven-year-old son Timmy to a brain tumor, I spent the first two months or so reading every book I got my hands on by other parents who had lost children. It was a type of therapy, I guess. Later, I found A Table For Two, and it has become one of my favorites because I can identify so strongly with Alisa's experience. This is a REAL book. It seems to me that these children who are destined for abbreviated lives are often specially graced with an unusually deep faith. It was true for my son and others as well as for Kelly. Thank you for writing the book, Alisa, I know how painful it was to relive the experience in order to do so. Rest assured that Kelly's memory is living on, and that her faith still speaks. I'd like to write our story too, someday.

A young girl battles life in the name of Jesus

A very well written saga of a young girl, Kelly Bair, and her quest to carry Jesus in her heart every remaining day of her life. Kelly's parents, family and friends are carried through life with a twist of events when their daughter and friend is diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.The wondrous quality of this book is that readers discover there in no ending to this story of life that we lead - only a beginning. Little Kelly Bair is truly the missionary that she imagined herself to be. Her life story will bring more and more people to the Table for Two. Through Kelly, more will be able to dine with Jesus.Recommended for the entire family. A very resourceful book for families coping with the death of a child.

A wonderful story of faith and hope amidst personal tragedy

Hat's off to Lisa for sharing this personal story in such an open, eloquent and touching manner. Although I was brought to tears frequently in reading this book, it touched me deeply and strengthened my own faith in God and my appreciation for every moment here on earth. I later found the audiobook at audible.com where the author reads the book personally... a great way to experience this story directly from the author's audible words. Highly recommended reading or listening!

Heart wrenching, powerful love story

As a mother, this book was painful to read but also heartwarming to finish. Often blinded by tears, I couldn't not finish this book. Thank you Lisa for having the courage to write this book as a testament to His great love. I have recommended it to all my friends.
