Award winning author R. Scott Hurd incorporates traditions of the church and his own lifelong fascination with the Eucharist to help you know Christ Better, contemplate scripture, and deepen your understanding the Eucharistic mystery we celebrate today.
Industry Reviews
“Around the Table is a richly engaging exploration of the Eucharist as experienced by the first people to ‘taste and see’ – the disciples and saints who knew Christ best. Imagine gathering around the table of the Lord with the likes of Paul, Mary Magdalene, Cleopas, and Mary. This is a feast like no other, and R. Scott Hurd makes us all welcome at the banquet. Take and read – you’ll be glad you did. It’s a terrific book, and R. Scott Hurd has hit this one out of the park.”
Deacon Greg Kandra
Catholic blogger and journalist at Aletia

“As twenty-first-century Christians, we find it difficult, if not impossible, to re-enter the world of the gospels. With wisdom, insight, and great tenderness, R. Scott Hurd has given us a way. I highly recommend this book of anyone seeking a more experiential understanding of the Eucharist.”
Paula Huston
Author of Simplifying the Soul

“R. Scott Hurd’s passionate appreciation for the Eucharist has given rise to this wonderful book exploring the many meanings of the sacrament. Around the Table is a profound treasure trove of ancient wisdom, the theological reflection, and personal spiritual engagement that causes one to think in new ways about the mystery of the Eucharist and awakens a driving enthusiasm to know more.”
