First Holy Communion: With A Foreword By His Excellency Archbishop Giovanni Tonucci, Apostolic Nuncio In Kenya - Softcover

Arising directly from a parent's need, this is a clear account of how a parent, or teacher, can prepare a child for First Holy Communion without talking down to or patronizing the child. Mark Allen found no suitable published book to prepare his son for First Holy Communion.

Review
“The author presents over 40 topics for consideration. Each consists of a key extract from the Bible, followed by a series of reflections on the reading. These extracts are aimed principally at the parent, with key ideas written in bold....Even more than that, the book also helps the parent to re-evaluate their own faith.” –The Universe, 2/6/05
