"I wish I could give this 10 stars! What an amazing book!! Theology of Covenant, the Fourth Cup of Passover (which I just read about in Scott Hahn's book, The Fourth Cup), even St. Faustina and Divine Mercy is in there, along with my absolutely favorite prayer to St. Joseph. The attention to detail, the solid Catholic teaching, the sacraments are all beautifully presented using Legos. Legos. If someone had told me two weeks ago that I would be raving about a book about the sacraments that used Legos as a teaching tool, I would have thought they were crazy. But what a great idea!! And even better, it works!!"

Join your friendly guides Fulton and Cynthia on a biblical adventure as they journey from creation to salvation and discover the importance of God’s sanctifying grace. Set in a vivid comic-book format with stunning photographs, this book makes profound theological concepts accessible to both the Catholic and the curious, the child and the adult.
I was driving with my son, and he started telling me stuff about Passover, and Jesus being the Lamb of God and all the connections between Passover and Holy Week. He's 7, in first grade. I recognized that he had his theology correct, but I could not for the life of me figure out where he had HEARD that stuff. So I asked him, "Where did you learn that?" He said, "It was in my Catechism book." "The brick one?" "Yeah."
Oh, well, then. So my seven year old is basically reading Scott Hahn in Lego form. I was a reasonably well-catechized kid, and I was an adult before I heard any of the theology he was explaining to me.

Following Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s teachings on Covenant Theology, this book sheds light on the parallels between the Old Testament and the New Testament and the sacraments instituted by Christ that we experience today. Readers will develop a deeper understanding of salvation history, discover how to participate in God’s covenant, and learn how to obtain grace through the sacraments, which are essential on our lifelong journey to the Eternal Promised Land.

This engaging catechism book uses Lego illustrations to teach the Seven Sacraments in a colorful, creative format. Customers said it's "theologically sound" and "informative" for all ages. While most praise the quality and content depth, some noted the font can be hard to read and content may be complex for younger children.

Colorful, short sentences, perfect for little ones. Great explanations of sacraments. I love the Lego theme
My grandson opened the book and read it all as soon as he opened it
I gave this to young man who recently went through OCIC and was received into the Church at Eater Vigil. He was delighted as were his parents and older brothers. Nicely done.
Would LOVE to see these books written for the Traditional Latin Mass instead of the new mass; would capture a much richer representation of the history of our faith for our little ones.
Pax!
I think that churches should give this book out to anyone interested in becoming Catholic! It is a hard-core catechism book disguised as a kid's book. A friend gave us this book for my son who was 5-6 at the time. I see myself as being pretty well catechized because I have continued to read books on the faith and learn as an adult (sadly the catechism of my youth was very lacking). I felt like I was learning along with my son while reading this book. The authors have an amazing way of presenting the information clearly, to the point, and in a way that is engaging. I highly recommend it to anyone, child or adult.
Love this book!! Amazing quality and so fun and educational to look through.
This is my favorite gift to give for First Communion! We first bought it a few years ago for my daughter’s Easter basket and fell in love with it! It’s so informative and my daughter didn’t even realize how much she was learning!
This is an amazing resource for parents to read to their children, and the adults will likely learn a lot.
It is very in-depth, but the children love it. The pictures pull them in.
The explanations are very clear and thoughtful.
The language is often above a child's reading level, but I sometimes edit as I read along, replacing a big word like "instituted" with "started."
The images are so creative in how they built the Lego pieces to make Bible and Church scenes.
It's a big book with many pages and very nice quality. It's a good investment to help teach children the richness of the Catholic faith.
There are also notes that tell what pages of the Catechism or Bible to reference. So there is a lot of opportunities to spur long- in-depth discussions with our children. It amazes us how much they can absorb, and my wife and I are also learning so much.
My kids still pick it up after 2 years. It’s the perfect gift for Catholic friends & family with kids. Once you buy one, you’ll buy another for every Catholic family who invites you to their child’s First Holy Communion, birthday, or Christmas party.
I bought this to lend out to my students in 1st Communion preparation but my Confirmation students (9-12th grade) saw it first and love it! It is a fun book with great Lego illustrations and really teaches a lot about the Sacraments.
I purchased the book for my grandsons first communion next year. I’ve perused the context and it looks inviting and informative. I’m anxious for him to see it.
He’s a dedicated Lego builder! I was disappointed the book doesn’t have directions for making the characters or maybe where they could be purchased.
Wow! What a spectacular and fun way of learning the Sacraments. I wish I had discovered this book earlier. My son's teacher asked for a copy and I just purchased another one for his classroom. Thank you!!!
This is a 5 star book all the way!
WOW! Kudos to this family for producing this book! My family tried to calculate how many hours you must have spent setting up the background for the scene, setting up the Legos, photographing the groupings, printing editing, reproducing, etc. The film you used is EXCELLENT! The Quality and weight of the paper in this book is SPECTACULAR!
We gave this book as a First Communion gift. The child was enthralled. Then the parents wanted to see it as did the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Because of all the ENTHUSIASM this book generated, I reordered and have now purchased a total of 5 and who knows how many more in the future.
With the help of the photography on each page, this Catechism brings home the True Faith in and thru the Sacraments. There are so many kernels of knowledge to chew on---like the eight sides of the Baptismal font and what it symbolizes.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all your hard work in putting together this wonderful Catechism.
Overall good book. Font is a little hard to read, but 7 year old was excited and engrossed. The concepts and vocabulary are pretty complex, but perhaps that is a good thing-let's not water down our teachings. Hardback is nice.
Missed the mark. Jumps around way too much. Trying to use on 6-12 year olds for CCD. Does not help but only confuses. Wish it was better as the Lego format could really be a good vehicle for Jesus’ message
I am blown away by this book..who knew God would use Legos to make the catechism so relatable? The connections this "simple" book makes between the old testament and the new covenant are incredible. Can we hand this out to all Catholics please? Then maybe our Church would be thriving rather than just surviving! God bless you all at Holy Heroes for distributing this and all the other great materials you have here.
Thank you! Everything about it was perfect! Nothing more to say!!!
We are really enjoying the Catechism of the Seven Sacraments. It's clear, engaging, and--perhaps most importantly--theologically sound! I even learn new things about our faith when I read it with my children.
Thanks!
Thanks!
This is a great book for kids. It's my go-to boys' First Communion gift. It's informational and so engaging! Thanks Holy Heroes! Your ministry has been a great tool for years! My kids have loved your "adventures" year after year.
Bought this as a gift because my kids love their copy!
The child That received the book is taken with it and likes it. Other parents want to order this amazing and cleaver book.
Wonderful truths of the faith in a creative, kid friendly way❤️
Thanks!
Excellent material, quality, and interest to children! Very engaging to boys and girls.
Theses are Christmas gift for grandkids but one of my daughters previously purchased and her kids LOVE it. She agrees!
Another Christmas gift. However I have flipped through it and the book looks great! Good quality and well made. Should keep us occupied for awhile!
This book is easy to understand for children & adults. It is excellent!!! The artwork is also great, but the way the book explains the sacraments is so engaging!! Love it!
We LOVE this book! My son is so excited to read it all the time. He loves the legos & is absorbing the Catechism. We love how it explains major dogmas of our faith in such an amazing way! Thank you Holy Heroes!
This is like an answer to a prayer. Been to different catholic book store never found comic book telling saint stories. My 7 yo daughter loves this and immediately read it. She doesnt really like reading but this book maybe less intimidating for her. I learn from this book too. It connects old testament and new testament..
