Eating with Jesus

Preaching & Worship

“Our ancestors in the faith, like most everyone in the Roman Empire, gathered nightly to do two things: enjoy a feast and enter into meaningful conversation. Robert Cornwall’s Eating with Jesus accomplishes something similar. After offering serious scholarly support for an open Communion table, the latter section serves up inspirational sermons from his own pastoral ministry. For dessert, several appendices offer liturgical nuggets for experiencing an open table. Here is a book to digest, with plenty of calories.”

Living In-Between

“In a world where televangelists and even some mainline preachers often resemble shady used car salesmen, Resner tells us the truth--all is not well in this world--even as he reminds us to hope in God who is working all things out. Rather than spouting pious platitudes or citing complex formulas and creeds, Resner gives us what the Bible itself offers: stories and testimony. If you can't buy a used car from him, buy this book. It tells the truth.”
