“As I began reading this superb book, I was constantly reminded of Martin Luther’s comment that ‘in Scripture, every little daisy is a meadow.’ Many believers will have read through John 13–17 more than once and may even feel they have a pretty good grasp of its meaning. I was one of them—until I read Sinclair Ferguson’s Lessons from the Upper Room! As he wisely says, ‘Our minds are far too finite to understand fully what the infinite Lord of all is doing,’ but the more I read, the more I felt drawn into that amazing upper room, listening, learning—and loving what the Savior was saying. Crystal-clear illustrations and warm-hearted applications permeate these pages—and I will never forget the author’s allegory that he calls ‘The Stranger in Smokeland’! Lessons from the Upper Room is Ferguson at his finest. Get two copies—and share the treasure with someone else!” Dr. John Blanchard
