Rev. Jim West tackles the increasingly popular practice of paedocommunion: serving the Lord's Supper to children, even babies and toddlers. Reasoning from the Scriptures, Pastor West helps his readers understand the key issues in 125 questions and answers: the definition of paedocommunion, the role of the covenant, the necessity of discerning the Lord's body, church history and paedocommunion, the spiritual dangers of paedocommunion, and more.

This new edition also includes his previously published article, Jesus' First Passover: The Relevance of Jesus' First Pilgrim Passover Upon the Age of Coming to the Lord's Supper.
