An excellent, though at times difficult, book on the Lord’s Supper as more than a memorial meal. Barcellos examines the biblical statements that require us to confess the Supper as a means of grace. It is beneficial to take note of Barcellos’ statement that the book is intended primarily to answer how the Supper is a means of grace and not merely that it is; for someone who does not currently see that the Supper is a means of grace (yours truly when I picked this book up), this book can still be immensely helpful but requires careful attention.

Barcellos could improve the book, in my opinion, by prefacing some of the middle chapters with their relevance to the subject matter; he does spell it out clearly eventually, but at times I felt lost and confused as to why the specific discussion was necessary.
