About the Book


Elijah Cross has been building in secret since he was nine years old.

Ruth Carpenter has been running just as long.

This is the story of what happened before the wisdom, before the legacy, before the table was ever set for anyone else. Two people who found each other at the wrong times, in the wrong seasons, and kept finding each other anyway.

Before the Table is a faith-rooted novel about covenant, patience, and the kind of love that does not announce itself. It builds quietly, over years, in the ordinary moments no one sees.

The first book in a story that does not end here.

The Reader Edition


Buying direct gets you more than the retail edition. The Reader Edition carries the full text of the novel plus a working section built to be used, not admired.

  • The Field Card — the whole book compressed to one page
  • The 30-Day Application Track — four weeks of specific work, one week per phase
  • The Working Pages — the Final Audit, with room to write

Read the story straight through first. Then go back and work the pages. The book is the input. The working section is where it becomes yours.
