📚 Lunch Table Talks – A Christian Middle Grade Story About Faith and Friendship
What would you do if fitting in meant staying silent when someone was being hurt? In Lunch Table Talks, seventh-grader Max discovers that popularity isn't everything—and sometimes the bravest choices happen right at the lunch table.
When Max finally earns a seat at the “cool” lunch table, he thinks middle school is about to get much better. But things take an unexpected turn when conversations become filled with mocking, secrets, and hurtful comments about others, including his quiet friend Ezra. Torn between fitting in and standing up for what he believes, Max begins to discover what it truly means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
With guidance from his youth pastor, an unexpected friendship with the new girl, and a few awkward but heartfelt attempts to speak up, Max learns that real courage starts with kindness, compassion, and doing what's right—even when it's uncomfortable.
Heartwarming, humorous, and full of meaningful Christian lessons, Lunch Table Talks encourages young readers to choose faith over popularity and become a positive influence among their friends.
