The Communicant's Companion: Instruction for the Right Receiving the Lord's Supper (Henry)
Description
Matthew Henry (1662-1714) is best known for his commentaries on the Bible, wherein he applied his pastoral gifts to providing a practical and devotional commentary for all to read. In this magnificent work, Henry provides that same pastoral insight on the topic of the Lord’s Supper. He explains the nature of the Supper, how one should prepare his heart before taking it, the responsible way to receive it, and the benefits granted to worthy partakers.
Endorsement
"Of all the many treatises on the Lord's Table none possess more excellencies or fewer defects than Matthew Henry's COMMUNICANT'S COMPANION. It is very plain, very pious, and very practical. There is a simplicity, a naturalness, and a familiarity, which renders it peculiarly delightful reading, and makes us almost fancy ourselves enjoying the conversation of its venerable author." -Rev. John Brown of Edinburgh, Scotland (1825)
