Reviews

For those of us who are well-versed in Church Teaching, many of the points in Catholic Update Guide to Communion are going to be a review of what we all ready know--and that's a good thing. It is good to go back and remind ourselves of the richness of our faith and the Sacraments, especially the gift of the Eucharist.<br><br> For those of us who are not well-versed in Church Teaching, the Catholic Update to Communion is the perfect handbook for being introduced to the profound gift of the Sacrament or the perfect supplement to a course of study on the Eucharist. As a matter of fact, I am planning on using this book as a supplement for helping my son prepare for his First Communion coming in April (2013).<br><br> Sprinkled throughout the book are reflection questions that help the reader dig deeper into their understanding and love of the Eucharistic. And I love the practical aspect of the book in the way the authors lay out how to receive Communion. They even explain, in a clear and direct way, why Catholics can not share Communion with other non-Catholic Christians. -- Simple Catholic Living
