This is such a great book to read. It takes a very clear, systematic approach to dealing with the purpose for Jesus’ sacrifice without getting too wrapped up in theological concepts or jargon.

Starting with the premise that we were made to be “free” and how we yearn for it but can never seem to achieve it, the book explains the problem: sin.

The next few chapters look at sin and its consequences in depth, but then moves on to show us how sin has been dealt with. The author looks at the trial and crucifixion of Christ, taking his time to really help us get a feeling of the magnitude of these events. And the book doesn’t end there - it goes back to the original premise and gives more detail as to how we can now live free given what Jesus has done.

This would be a useful book for a new Christian or someone exploring the faith with interest who wanted to know more about what the Lord’s Supper is and why Christians celebrate it. Whilst there are some interpretations within the book that are not universally agreed upon, by reading it and reviewing it within a church family setting, readers will gain a good insight into the nature of communion.
