What is the meaning of the Lord’s Supper? Jesus instituted the Supper to strengthen the faith of his followers by reminding them of his promises.

God has always made promises to his people through covenants, and along with them given signs and meals to point to and confirm his blessings. In this book, professor Guy Prentiss Waters defines and explores the unity of the covenants in the Old and New Testaments.

Many followers of Christ find it discouraging trying to maintain an active prayer life and end up letting that discipline fall to the side. E.M. Bounds, a dedicated prayer warrior himself, shows how much God does listen to prayer and how greatly he desires that his children reach out to him.

Talking to God is essential to Christianity and to having a relationship with our Father. E. M. Bounds speaks to this crucial aspect of faith and discusses its relation to our entire being. As God requires complete surrender to Him, our communication with Him must reflect that as well.

Every time we pray, it is an opportunity to know God in a deeper and more complete way.
