| Baby’s Tiny Bible and Prayers by Sarah Toulmin, illustrated by Kristina Stephenson Baby Bible and Baby Prayers were originally published separately in 2006 and 2007. Ideal to welcome new baby or as a Christening gift. Publisher. Lion are very good at producing quality gift books and although they have done the children’s bible and prayer book sets before this is a nice addition to the range. It is compact in size but the print is still nice and clear. The illustrations are bright and fun without being too cartoon like as some young children’s books tend to be. Some of the bible stories are a little bit on the short side but overall they are good and my two year old son enjoyed listening to them. I particularly like the prayer book as it is separated into prayers for different occasions and times of the day. At £7.99 it is good value for money and would make an excellent gift.

| On My First Holy Communion by Angela M.Burrin illustrated by Maria Christina Lo Cascio A book to present to a young person receiving their first Holy Communion, with presentation page at the front and pages at the back to list those who attended, special memories and photos of the occasion. Told as if by Jesus himself, the stories of the Bible are set out from the Creation, Abraham, and the Exodus to the birth of Jesus, His life on earth, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection, all are illustrated tastefully and graphically by watercolours sketched in with ink, always an attractive format. The final pages set out useful prayers and the Apostles Creed. A welcome addition to the Redemptorist list. Review by Mary Bartholomew (02/06/09) |

| Your Confirmation - A Journey of Questions and Answers Revised edition edited by Jane Williams Originally published in 1996 In a magazine format familiar to youngsters, this slim book is for giving to those contemplating Confirmation; answers to many of the questions going round their heads, and answers to some questions they had not thought of yet! It is in no sense a Confirmation course, but a preparation, so that those who come to a course have had the chance to think through for themselves what they are undertaking and why. Some will reject the answers given, others will approach the learning involved in the course with a much more determined effort, as they understand more fully the big step into maturity and adulthood Confirmation involves.

| Confirmation Book for Adults by Sharon Swain Not just a handbook to use for adult confirmation classes, but also a very useful book to give to adults who may be considering taking confirmation and not knowing enough about it, and perhaps are afraid to ask. Detailed chapters deal with what we understand by the call to baptism and confirmation and goes into detail about belief, the creedal statements we know are part of that belief, and what commitment as a Christian means for the future life. Needless to say every chapter that introduces a topic is backed up by biblical resource and discussion notes, so this book can be used very successfully as the basis for a confirmation course as well as the use of an individual. The language is easily understood and the arguments are sound, with plenty of chance to dig deeper if wanted to. The author has herself been in many church situations and realise the need for a book that can be understood by all. Review by Ian Gibson (27/02/08) |

| How to be a Great Godparent - Your Guide to Fulfilling a Wonderful Role by Susan Hardwick The ‘great’ here is not a generational category like ‘great-grandparent’ but a qualitative judgement. How can I be great in my role as a godparent to my godchild? Here is an attempted answer. Non-denominational, or rather, inclusive of many denominations, the author’s suggested prayer routines make the god-parenting role far more of a commitment than it would otherwise be – even life-long. Thus there are prayers and themes for each day of the week, e.g. ‘Monday - My godchild’s wisdom and learning’. Events in the life-cycle are also marked - the day of the Baptism, birthdays, anniversary of Baptism and so on. Prayers for the god-parent are also included to highlight this unique relationship and its responsibilities. Review by Ian Gibbs (06/12/07) |

| On Your First Holy Communion Selected by Andrew Moore A book to give on this vitally important occasion for the young Christian. Andrew Moore Hs included simple attractive illustrations to point up the themes that arise from this moment of First Communion with the Risen Lord. The Bible quotations and prayers from contemporary sources, including the Roman Missal, help the young reader to look more deeply into the mysteries of the Eucharist, so that the food of and for ‘eternal life’ is also the food for daily life and daily understanding of the sacramental encounter with Jesus Christ. This can be part of a firm foundation for a Christian’s devotional development. Review by Ian Gibbs (06/12/07) |
