The Lord's Supper

Doctrines, Encouragements, and Duties

About this book

John Shower explains that as it is our duty and privilege to celebrate the Lord's Supper, we should come to it with repentance, love, gratitude, and joy. The Lord's Supper is a covenant of fidelity between God and man in which we express public love and honor to our Savior and the emphasis is not on the efficacy of our faith but on His actions. Shower's eight discourses will help us as we meditate on the meaning of the Supper in devotional love.
