The Communicant's Companion

Matthew Henry wrote ‘The Communicant’s Companion’ to prepare hearts for the Lord’s Supper. He explains the institution, the participants, the benefits, and the dangers of the sacrament, then provides meditations and prayers for the week before and the week after communion. Henry’s goal is not ritualism but heart-fellowship with Christ. The book is still used in some Presbyterian and Reformed churches as pre-communion reading. A spiritual preparation that turns the table into a taste of heaven.
