Synopsis

"Do this in remembrance of Me."

From the very beginning, the Lord's Supper has stood at the heart of Christian worship. But over the years we've trivialized it, squeezing it in between "real" worship. If Jesus lives in us, and the Holy Spirit is poured out on us, why do we need to eat bread and drink grape juice or wine? Does it really matter?

It does matter—and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy when we answer His call to come to the table.

Whether you're feeling the lack of His presence, are ashamed of sin in your life, or have never felt anything during Communion, Christ's invitation to partake in His feast is your invitation to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Can't wait to take communion after reading this. Immediately ordered two physical copies after finishing the audiobook. The breaking of bread is brought to life in this book through careful connection to what Jesus intended through his words in the bible. The author explains this in a very clear, un......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on August 12, 2023

If you ever feel like communion is a tag-on, unimportant, dry, simply a memorial, or nothing 'special' -then read this book! This book will open your eyes to a rich biblical, historical and experiential approach to the Lord's Supper. Soaked in scripture, deep in doctrine, abounding in application, an......more

Goodreads review by Adam on December 31, 2023

A wonderful exploration of the riches of the Lord's Supper, including discussion of a number of areas I hadn't thought about before. The author writes from a Pentecostal perspective, but you don't need to be a Pentecostal to appreciate his biblical and theological reflections, or to be inspired by h......more
