Product Description
Written for grammar-school age children, this guide to the Rite II Eucharistic service presents the full text of the service from the Book of Common Prayer alongside commentary and cartoons that clarify the meaning of the words. Horton focuses on the "hows" and the "whats" of the service itself, in the belief that participation and information are, in the long term, the keys to Christian formation. This practical manual will be useful to a wide variety of groups. Church school teachers and pastors can use this in Sunday school classes or during the service itself to help children participate more fully. Parents and children will find this a helpful tool as they explore Christian life together. Instructors of confirmation classes will also find this a useful resource.

 This is a great book August 2, 2008

This is a very good book for children to understand the ritual of the episcopal church which can be very confusing for adults let alone children. I know the author and her husband who is a priest and they are fabulous!
 Warning! Not for true Gospel believers! April 20, 2007

I returned this product because it does NOT teach the true meaning of the Eucharist or the Christian gospel. This book was clearly written for the progressive, more liberal portion of the Episcopal Church. I found some of the passages actually offensive. For example, about the eucharistic prayers, "In this prayer we especially remember that Jesus gave his life freely...This made it possible for God to enter into any trouble or evil in the world so that God could bring good out of evil or trouble." What a load of garbage! God has always been able to intervene to bring good out of evil. Jesus, the Son of God, suffered a horrible death so that OUR sinful nature could be crushed and we could be reconciled to God.
Another example? "When we eat at God's table we share bread and wine. This reminds us that God wants human beings to share what we have on earth...this reminds us that God wants everyone to have enough to eat, and God wants everyone to be able to share a meal in peace with one another." While this may sound nice, it's not even close to the truth. The bread and wine are a symbol of Christ's death, a sacrifice that was required because all of us and this world are broken, broken, broken. We have no life or goodness, food or peace, without God. Our joy and freedom come from the acceptance of this fact. I want my child to think upon God's sacrifice to bring her back to Him and the call to spread this news of redemption, not about world peace or any other watered-down U.N. version of Christianity.

My ten year old son loves to follow along with our Holy Eucharist on Sundays with his own manual. It explains in elementary terms the meaning of different aspects of the service. It is a wonderful way to introduce a young member to the Common Book of Prayer.
Terrific Book-Very Helpful August 3, 2001

As a teacher of Religion and History at The Episcopal Academy, I think this book is a terrific, age-appropriate guide for youngsters on the Holy Eucharist. The writing is clear, concise, and helpful and the illustrations are wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for parents, christian education coordinators, priests, and teachers.

A helpful guide for young children March 29, 2001

This book brings the Eucharist to life for my six year old. He enjoys following along during the service with "his book", although the text is the same as in the prayer book, the explanations and pictures enhance his experience.
