Come to the Table
A Shame-Free Invitation to Your Identity in Christ
In Come to the Table, Crystal Manget invites readers on a 30-day devotional journey to confront one of the most crippling struggles many believers face: shame. Drawing from her own battle with a shame-based identity, Crystal understands how feelings of unworthiness can cloud a believer’s view of God, distort their sense of identity, and keep them from fully embracing His grace.
This devotional gently guides readers to lay down shame and discover the truth of who they are in Christ. Each day explores a different facet of identity found in Scripture, offering biblical truth, personal insight, and encouraging reflection.
For anyone who feels like they never measure up, struggle to believe God’s love is truly unconditional, or carry a weight of past mistakes, Come to the Tableoffers hope. With warmth and authenticity, Crystal extends an invitation to pull up a chair at
God’s table—just as you are—and experience the freedom and confidence that comes from a shame-free identity in Christ.
Are you trapped by shame's grip on your past?
Will you dare to step into the identity God has for you? Your journey to freedom begins here.

For anyone who struggles with a sense of belonging, of being seen and known, this is the devotional for you! The enemy wants to snuff out our God-given light, make us believe we are alone and unwanted, and then shackle us to his lies. Crystal Manget knows the enemy’s tactics well as a life long warrior against the lie of shame. She vulnerably shares her story, with all its trials and suffering, and points her readers to God’s pursuing and strengthening grace. Each daily devotional reminds the reader that God sees you, knows the truth of you, and loves you. Each daily devotional not only invites you into the truth of all that God is, but gives you space to reflect, pray, and pause within the truth of HImHim. This beautifully tender book walks through the valley of life, but is guided by the hope we have been given in Christ. As its title proclaims, God is a God of invitation. Come to His table and feast on the truth: you You are a beloved, chosen, and an all together worthy child of God. Come to the table and exchange the ashes of shame for the beauty of His abundance. Come to the table and experience the freedom only found in Jesus Christ.

This devotional is for anyone longing to break free from the feelings of shame, and journey toward the abundant life God has promised.

Come to the Table feels like a gentle, grace-filled conversation with a friend who’s been through the fire and come cameout refined. Crystal shares herself and her experiences, not for sympathy but for transformation. She shares with honesty and deep compassion as she invites us to pull up a chair, clear the room of shame, and finally understand what God has been saying all along. You are seen, you are loved, and you belong at His table.
Her words feel like a warm cup of coffee with someone who gets it—someone who understands what it means to carry invisible wounds and still want to know Jesus more. Every page is an invitation to stop hiding behind past hurt and step fully into your God-given identity.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unworthy, or like you had to “fix yourself” before coming to Christ, this devotional will speak life into the places you’ve kept hidden. Crystal doesn’t sugarcoat the journey but walks it with you, one truth-filled day at a time.
You will walk away from this thirty-day journey not just encouraged, but changed.
