Thomas Tuke (d. 1657) was a prolific writer, fiery preacher and faithful reformed minister of the Gospel of Christ.

Fit for the Feast: A Guide to the Lord’s Supper is both a timeless theological treatise and a practical study guide designed to lead believers into a deeper, more reverent participation in the Lord’s Table. Rooted in the rich heritage of Christian doctrine, this work unpacks the biblical call to self-examination, repentance, faith, love, and gratitude—all essential for worthy reception of this sacred ordinance.

More than a devotional or commentary, this volume equips readers with clear summaries and thoughtful questions after each chapter, fostering personal reflection and meaningful group study. Whether used individually, in family worship, or within church discipleship, it challenges believers to honestly assess their spiritual state and prepare themselves as “fit guests” for the feast Christ has ordained.

Pastors and leaders will also find it a valuable resource for guiding their congregations in the holy discipline of communion, ensuring that the Supper remains a true means of grace that nourishes the soul and glorifies God. Fit for the Feast calls the church to embrace both theological depth and practical application—inviting all who partake to come with hearts ready, eyes fixed on Christ, and lives transformed by His reforming grace.
