"This was a short book, and I would hope in future editions of "The Lamb's Supper" it could just be added in the back of the book. However, it is a great resource for anyone studying "The Lamb's Supper" either individually or as a group. "

“Hahn reflects simply yet profoundly on the nitty-gritty of life, love, relationships, marriage, and family in the context of the bedrock doctrines of Christian Faith. His retelling of the story of our salvation in Jesus Christ opens up to the truth of our origin and destiny in the one God, a Trinity of divine Persons who abide in a communion of love—a love stronger than sin and death. This book is full of good news and solid answers to life’s tough questions.”
