After pecking away on editing this excellent book on the Lord’s Supper by a great Puritan author of twenty books, John Shower (1657-1715), for more than three years, I am excited that RHB finally has it in print. Not only are Shower’s sermons preached before and after the Supper’s administration superlative, but his answers to questions about salvation and assurance in relation to the Lord’s Supper are invaluable. If you want to understand the Lord’s Supper better, experience its encouragements more profoundly, and exercises its duties more faithfully, you’ll want to feast on this 400-page masterpiece! It is hard for me to believe that this hidden gem has not been reprinted for 319 years!

Yesterday evening we commemorated my in-laws’ 65th anniversary—Henry and Lena Kamp and 40+ of their children (including in-laws—see picture above), grand children, and great-grandchildren. We missed those who couldn’t join us, but we had a great time having dinner together, then singing psalms and hymns and reminiscing about the mercies of God and some nostalgia about our dear parents’ past lives. We are so blessed to have God-fearing parents who have set the bar high for living godly in Christ Jesus by their own example, and we are deeply humbled that both of them are doing so well physically as well, and enjoy living together in their own home in their upper 80s. God is good!
