...a book that isn't on the list of Most Important Books to Read First Before Any Others So Don't Even Think About That One Over There!
It is called "Reformed" is Not Enough. It is excellent. Here is a quote for your enjoyment:
The Lord's Supper is first a memorial of Christ's self-sacrifice; secondly, a sealing of all the benefits of Christ's death unto true believers; third, a spiritual nourishment of all true believers who partake; fourth, a covenant renewal on the part of those who partake; fifth, a bond from Him of the fact that He is our God and we are His people; and sixth, it is communion with our fellow believers, fellow members of the body of Christ.

Do you know where the author gets this information? Yes. It was gleaned from the Westminster Confession of Faith. I, for one, had no idea that there was anything that good in it. O, me of little faith in the Divines! I repent in dust and ashes. Off I go to read the Confession...
