“Richard Barcellos is to be commended heartily for detailing the biblical and theological foundations of what our forefathers in the Faith knew well. Namely, that the Lord’s Table is, in the words of Calvinistic Baptist William Kiffin, a vehicle of ‘spiritual nourishment.'” — Michael A. G. Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville
“It is good to be able to recommend this book in which Baptist pastor and theologian Richard Barcellos reclaims the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace and argues for its significance in the life of the local congregation. It is to be hoped that this book will have a significant influence in encouraging us all to think more carefully about the role of the Supper.” — Carl R. Trueman, Grove City College, Grove City, PA

Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question (Dr. Richard Belcher)
$7.49Believers today have varying convictions concerning a day of worship and practices related to such a day. But how many understand why they do or do not follow such practices? The authors of A Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question seek to aid all believers in coming to a clearer understanding of this Sabbath question.
First, they present three views concerning Sabbath or Lord’s Day observance. Second, they compare these three positions. Finally, suggestions are given the reader to guide him to a personal conclusion in the matter.
All who read this work will not only develop a clearer understanding of their own position, but they will also come to a sharper focus of the other viewpoints and those tenets which distinguish the three.

The Lord’s Supper (Thomas Watson) (#31)
$7.25To Thomas Watson, the Lord’s Supper was a visible sermon, a mirror in which to gaze on the sufferings and death of Christ. ‘God, to help our faith, does not only give us an audible Word, but a visible sign.’ But more than this, the Supper was a time in which to partake of the benefits of Christ’s death by faith, to be fed and cherished by the Lord in his own banqueting house, and to obtain a foretaste of the glory which will be fully realized only in heaven.
Watson’s aim was to stimulate greater love to Christ in His people, and to enhance their appreciation of the Supper as a spiritual feast for all believers. His fine exposition shows the rich provision made in the Supper for all who love the Lord, while it also lays bare the emptiness of all mere sacramentalism.
