My First Holy Communion: Sunday Mass and Daily Prayers

Rating:
Summary: This book has enough depth to be meaningful for adults too.
Review: This little, wonderful book was written to be a First Communion book that is rich enough to guide children into the mystery of the Eucharist. So many First Communion books seem shallow, lacking the fullness that ought to be obvious in such a book. "My First Holy Communion" by Melissa Nussbaum is much more than a book to be read once as an assignment -- it is a book to be prayed through with children, and can be read again and again. The writing is simple, as writing for small children ought to be, but it reflects the gift that God gives us in the Eucharist so well that children and adults alike can grow more deeply into the mystery of Christ.
