The book starts with a brief introduction to what the Lord’s Supper is. The author recalls the story of the Passover and then the institution of the Lord’s Supper in the context of a Passover meal between Jesus and the twelve disciples. The author then explains the fundamentals of the Lord’s Supper.

The author makes some emphatic points about what the Lord’s Supper is and is not, and spends some time going over an interpretation of the restrictions and requirements surrounding participating in communion.

Ultimately, the book calls us to view communion as a meal that makes us look back, out, up, in and forward (a similar message in other books on this topic). 

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.
