Child's Guide to Reconciliation

A Child's Guide to Reconciliation
by Elizabeth Ficocelli
Illustrated by Anne Catharine Blake.
Discovering the Joy of Forgiveness.
From the same winning team that brought you the Catholic best-seller: A Child's Guide to First Holy Communion, comes this colorful new picture book on receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. Describing the purpose and procedure of the rite, it helps to alleviate the nervousness commonly associated with confession and shows children how to approach the Sacrament with true comfort and a sense of joy and reverence. It also suggests that the forgiveness given us in reconciliation should be extended in turn toward others. Pracatical, down-to-earth examples clarify topics of sin and forgiveness, while the cheerful tone is warm and inviting. An easy-to-read story, bright illustrations, and interactive questions that encourage discussion make this book perfect for home or school use. Hardcover, 32 pages.
