What do you do when your family, classroom or friend group doesn't share one faith?

You don't need everyone to believe the same thing to ask the same question. Pick a weekly question that stands on its own — about honesty, patience, or belonging — and let each person answer from where they actually stand, in their own tradition or none at all.

Is At Our Table With Our Faith an interfaith book?

No. It is four separate editions — Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist — that share the same 52 weekly questions. A mixed family or classroom can open four different books on the same week and land on the same conversation, each from their own tradition, without blending the faiths into one.

How is that different from an interfaith family book?

Interfaith books usually blend two traditions into one shared text. This book does the opposite: it keeps every tradition whole and separate, and instead synchronizes the question, so different books can still meet at the same table.

One book asked one faith
to fit every family.
It fit no one.

A classroom with four different homes behind it. A family that spans three generations who each landed somewhere different. This is the real question we ran into while writing this book — and the four covers below are what we did about it.

Same question, four books, one table

Nearly half of marriages in the US now cross a faith line. Most books for that either pick one faith and ask everyone to follow it, or blend two faiths into a single new text — neither works for a classroom of twenty-four children, or a family with three generations who each landed somewhere different. So instead of blending the faiths, we synchronized the question. Week 14 in all four editions asks the same thing: what happens when you fail someone, and how do you make it right? Open any cover above to see how that one week reads in that tradition.

What we tried first

One shared book, written neutral enough for everyone. It read like it belonged to no one.

What actually worked

Four full editions — Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist — sharing the same 52 weekly questions, in the same order.

What that makes possible

A mixed family opens four books on the same week. A classroom hands out whichever edition fits each child's home.

What we learned

You don't need one faith at the table. You need one honest question, answered from wherever each person actually stands.

Choose your edition

Every edition shares the same stories and questions, with its own sources, drawings and closing words.
