Breaking
free from an eating disorder is difficult
and complex. Those who are suffering often feel
misunderstood. They struggle with feeling alone and afraid, ashamed to
tell those closest to them. Their loved ones also feel helpless and
ill-equipped to care for them. Within this dynamic, hurt,
disappointment, and neglect often thrive. From the unique
perspective of a husband and
wife team, Table for Two shares Krista Dunham’s
journey to freedom from her eating disorder while David
shares insights as the loved one coming beside
her.
Krista
suffered from an eating disorder for over ten years and, by God’s grace
and through biblical counseling, overcame it. She openly and
honestly shares her experience, describing what she did, what she
needed, and what proved helpful in the process of change. In
conjunction with her insights, David shares what he did, how he failed,
and what he learned along the way as a biblical counselor
that was helpful to Krista.
Without
minimizing complicated issues, the Dunhams provide practical,
gospel hope and biblical encouragement to those suffering and help for
loved ones walking with them. They share personal narratives,
interactive exercises, and biblical direction for those navigating
recovery. Individuals suffering from an eating disorder—and
loved ones—will find practical help, hope, and encouragement in
this couple’s story. Applying the truth of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, they
know two are better than one and understand the need to connect
and jointly navigate the process together.
This
powerful, redemptive book reveals an intimacy beyond personal
stories of struggle told through a biblical counseling lens; it
highlights the close-knit relationship of husband and wife and a home
life where one person struggles with an eating disorder.

"As
biblical counseling further develops from a movement to a discipline,
it needs more issue-specific books providing a biblical framework to
address specific troubles in human experience. David and Krista have
provided such a book, helping us further stretch toward competency on
the vital issue of eating disorders."
~ Jeremy Pierre, Author of The
Dynamic Heart in Daily Life; Lawrence & Charlotte
Hoover Associate Professor of Biblical Counseling; chair,
Department of Biblical Counseling & Family Ministry, The
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“When I go
looking for help and direction in dealing with truly
difficult problems, I’m always interested in those who have been there
and found the way out. In the arena of eating disorders, Tablefor
Two is compelling testimony of a couple who did just
that. This book is full of help for the struggler and those
who love them. The authors point the reader to the wealth of wisdom to
be found when counseling from the Scriptures and the importance of good
medical care in the process. Even the title is helpful, as it points
the reader to the truth that eating disorders are rarely conquered
alone. Table forTwo will be an encouragement to many
and a good resource in counseling.”
~ Charles D Hodges, Jr. MD, Family
Physician, Indianapolis, IN; executive director, Vision of Hope,
Residential Treatment Facility for Women, Lafayette, IN
“In Table for Two,
David and Krista Dunham offer readers the healing balm of the gospel,
applying it to the struggle of disordered eating. Compassionate,
practical, and wise, the Dunhams' words are underscored by their own
testimonies as they live in the hope they now extend—both to those
who suffer and to those who help.”
~ Hannah Anderson, Author of Humble
Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul
