It is always a delight to read the work of a practical thinker.
Dr Stan Newton always stimulates my thinking, and does so in a
strong theological and practical ministry sense. In his latest
book, Kingdom Communion, Stan unpacks for us the historical and
modern day views and usages of the Eucharist, bringing a fresh
visitation on this most important doctrine in scripture. As my dear
friend, theologian Dr. Ken Chant reminded me, in the New Testament
there is only one piece of furniture mentioned related to
worship...not a pulpit, no sound system, not one offering plate,
not even comfortable chairs to sit in...just a table...the Table of
the Lord, were we either weekly or weakly renew our covenant with
the Lord, providing strength and health for our journey. Unlike
most books on Communion, Kingdom Communion is filled with strong
theology and practical illustration, thus making it a source of
great help in preaching Communion services, and for deepening one's
knowledge of this important, vital doctrine.Dr. Stan E. DeKoven

Vision International University Stan Newton has written a useful
book. That word, useful, is appropriate because this book will
serve you. The topic of Communion is about worship. Most problems
faced in the world are, at their core, worship problems. How often
should we receive communion? How should we go about it? Why should
we take part in the Lord's Supper? Newton answers difficult
questions inviting those who read to partake of who Jesus is.
Revealed in his life, death and resurrection, Jesus is the
substance of all things hoped for.What did Peter learn at the foot
washing in the upper room? He found out that it is not in the
acknowledgement of need that makes Jesus king. What matters is
receiving him as he is. As children, we learn that we are what we
eat, so eat, drink and remember. It's a practice worth
repeating.Scott Crowder

JesusLoves757.com It's God's desire that a greater revelation of
His love and power in the new covenant be understood by His church.
For too long, we have had such a limited view of God and His
kingdom because of the traditions of teaching in the church, but
this is changing.Dr. Stan Newton's book on Kingdom Communion will
take you into a deeper understanding of the new covenant, the
kingdom of God, and our co-heir marriage to Jesus the King. There
is still so much to be explored concerning the new covenant kingdom
of God, and this New Jerusalem made up of believers all over the
world, the Wife of Jesus.Paul prayed that believers would have "the
spirit of revelation". In other words, Paul prayed that we all
would have understanding concerning many things Jesus has done for
us in the Spirit, this Kingdom Communion. Stan's book is another
piece of this ongoing revelation that God is releasing to His
church today.Dr. Stan Newton's book will challenge the traditional
ideas concerning "communion" in the Body of Christ.David
