Thanks to Knox and Heine, I now have sixty new meditations. If you are needing help preparing an introduction to the Lord's Supper or just want a book to help you find the heart of our faith, Come to the Table is the resource for you."" --Milton Jones, president, Christian Relief Fund ""Knox and Heine, with scholarly minds and pastoral hearts, offer every elder, deacon, congregational member, and gospel minister who presides over the Lord's Table sixty concise and Christ-saturated devotional reflections on our King's meal. Come to the Table is a needed resource which blends beautiful and thoughtful stories from everyday life, from authors like Henri Nouwen, from the apostolic fathers, and from mature reflection, each set alongside wisely chosen biblical passages. What a gift."" --J. K. Jones, Lincoln Christian University ""In every family, coming to the table helps form identity in community. For followers of Jesus, the family table is communion.
