Very important

I find this book very important in that it deals with a delicate matter in a profound and practical way.

A superb meditation on the meaning of communion- great Lent book

I read this book with great interest. It is a super book that brings out clearly the meaning of the parts of the communion service. It is a perfect study book for Lent- you will understand Easter far more deeply after reading it. I did not find it easy reading, but that may mean I was assimilating new material as I was reading. It is an easy paced book, and is well suited to being read in small portions over...well 40 days would be about right. I ended up with an impression that the author would be very likeable, and that I would enjoy hearing him preach. I learned a lot from reading him. I can recommend this book to Christians who want to deepen their understanding of the communion service, and our community.
