The Lord's Supper is not just a ceremony

It was as a Passover meal was concluding that Jesus took bread and grape juice from the table and began what has become what some call a religious ceremony. Mike Root points out that each time the meal of remembrance is spoken of in apostolic teaching and practice, it was done as part of a meal. Since every Christian is a priest, the author points out that "the Lord's Supper" needs no priestly intercession in order to be pleasing to the Master. Excellent thinking and writing is "Spilt Grape Juice." Many will be surprised by what is obviously taught in the Bible about our walk with the Lord Jesus. This book "tells it like it is."

An accurate Bible based re-thinking of the worship tradition

While the Bible encourages the saints to follow the traditions handed down to them (II Thess. 2:15) these traditions did not include the ones that we have formulated in our hearts and minds. Anytime you read something that challenges the "pattern" or "tradition" that men have set in place you will be ridiculed and have feelings of guilt, but you will begin to realize how far removed we are from the original New Testament church and their work and worship as it was prescribed by God. This is a must read for any serious student. Sometimes we need a little "Spilt Grape Juice".
