A highly-rated Catholic educational book using LEGO illustrations to explain the Mass through Biblical typology. Customers said it's "educational for parents and grandparents as for children" with "solid, child-friendly theology." Praised for detailed graphics and engaging format. One customer noted slow delivery. Recommended for ages 8+, though some found it advanced for younger children.
EVERY CATHOLIC FAMILY SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK! My wonderful 3yo son has the attention span of a goldfish, and yet he is captivated by the book. For those who cannot read, the pictures alone help evangelize and educate. I have studied and listened to Dr. Scott Hahn, Tim Staples, Dr. Brant Pitre, Trent Horn, and many other fantastic apologists and theologians, yet I have still learned new things from this book alongside my children! This book combines all of your favorite apologists and centuries of Church teaching into an easy-to-read and fun-to-read format. The creators are brilliant for putting illustrations of the typology from the Old Testament on one page and the New Testament on the next so that readers (young and old) can very clearly see the symmetry. It teaches Godās Plan for our salvation in the most exciting and engaging way I have ever seen and makes the Mass come alive for the whole family. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this book! Everyone who sees it will be blown away. THANK YOU for this AMAZING resource!
cool
Outstanding! Flows cohesively from typology from the Old to the New Testament all the way through to all aspects of the Mass even including the meaning behind the traditions and architecture of churches. All ages should have this book! It is not just for kids. Incredibly well written and researched. I plan to buy books for each of my adult children!
The book looked great. I sent it to my youngest grandson (10yo).
You can lead a grandson to the book about the Mass but you canāt make him read it!!š¤š
It was great. As educational for parents and grandparents as for children. So many connections beteeen Old Testament and New. And so many deeply meaningful parts of the Mass.
Just one thing: when you need to do a reprinting, correct Pilot to Pilate on page 129. š
We bought this book thinking itās be a cutesy Lego-themed kidsā Catholic book, but it is SO MUCH MORE. It goes over typologies, explains each part of the Mass biblicallyā¦ I mean I consider myself pretty well catechized and I still learn from it. Bravo!! All families NEED this.
Fantastic resource for kids
Designed like the old comic books, this is packed with solid, child-friendly theology, and teaches the richness of our faith while entertaining simultaneously. Bought this for our grandsons and wish it had been around for our children.
Great format. Thanks for the truth without ādummy downedā verbiage.
The O'Neills have done it again! The Holy Mass is a beautiful addition to any homeschool curriculum or catechesis. Our children bring this book to Mass to follow along, and frequently reference it in discussions. The pictures are engaging, the legos relatable, and the text both articulate and easy to understand. It is a favorite in our house!
This book is amazing and a treasure trove of Catholic teaching! Itās great for children, engaging with the detailed and entertaining lego images, and great for adults, with simple and clear Catholic teaching! I recommend this book for all ages! What a creative and wonderful answer to the New Evangelization!
We gave this book as a gift to our kids. The pages are illustrated beautifully. Everything in the book is accurate and well thought out! Such a great book for helping our kids better understand our Catholic faith! Highly recommend to all!
The OāNeills have created another great Catholic Lego book. The illustrations are so colorful and detailed. Itās a perfect way to introduce and explain the Holy Mass to children, as well as adults. It shows the beauty of the Catholic tradition in a relatable way. Iām sure we will use it to show the richness of our Faith for many years to come.
The LEGO builds are so much fun to look at, and there's so much detail in the pictures and the words, that you can't take it all in, in just 2 or 3 sittings. Both kids and adults can pick this book up and find something new in it every time. Any Christian who's deep into OT typology would find this book eye-opening on the subject of Christian liturgy.
Not only is this book the best gift for any kind of sacramental celebration, in particular First Holy Communion, it is also the best gift to give to yourself!
The catechism taught in this book and the first book of the series is spot on and engaging. As an adult, I have understood more about my faith in these simple to understand books, than I have in all my 12 years of Catholic schooling!
Kids and adults alike will be captivated by this book. I believe even non-Catholics would enjoy it. Beautiful pictures explain the details of the Mass as related to Scripture, and the photos are full of color, detail, and richness, complementing the beauty and fullness of the Catholic faith. Even devout and learned Catholics will learn things from this book, as it dives into the reasons for many of the actions and words that make up the Mass. The cover is very durable, and the pages are sturdy and perfectly glossy. I love that even our non-reading children can flip through this and be transported into the life of Jesus. The labor and love and that were put into the making, editing, and publishing of this book is clearly evident. Well done.
This book is INCREDIBLE. Itās like they took all the knowledge from Church Fathers, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Brant Pitre, and all the great minds at Catholic Answers and put it into a super easy-to-understand book. The pages have side-by-side images of Old Testament and New Testament events and verses to help readers understand and recognize Biblical typology. Itās pure brilliance. It works for both Novus Ordo and TLM. I canāt say enough great things about this book and their Lego Catechism of the Seven Sacraments.
Excellent book for a young Catholic kid. It explains the tenets of the faith clearly and simply in an enjoyable manner. Got it for my grand nephew. It is a big book so itās not an over night book to complete. It would be a great benefit for Catholic Catechism classes.
This is for people old and young that want to learn more about the Mass and the Catholic faith. I didn't think I would learn anything reading this to my kids, but I did! Very thorough, and entertaining!
This book is amazing and I recommend it to everyone! It was a gift for my niece and I read it and bought one for myself. It taught me and helped me understand the beauty and awe of the Holy Mass!
I highly recommend this book. Don't let the Legos fool you. This book is deep, for youth, and up!
I got this as a first communion gift. Perfect and something I can read with him. š„¹ā„ļø
My grandson was excited the moment he saw the book! Loves the format like a comic strip and I know the content will reach his heart greatly because of that!
I purchased thos book to use with my granddaughter who is 5 years old. She is studying about the Mass in her religion book. I think it is a bit too advanced for her giving great detail about many things. It would probably be wonderful for an older child maybe 8 years or so. I will use it when she can handle the wealth of information in the book.
Just started this book with my 9 year old last week. We read the first one together, and he loved it! I was amazed at how much theology was packed into it and written in a way that ot was easy for him to understand.
Book arrived early. It very detailed and the graphics are top notch.
I bought this book to bring on a flight with my grandson, who is currently being raised Baptist. When he is staying with me or our side of the family, he does attend Holy Mass, but does not receive communion. I wanted to help him understand the Mass better without being forceful.
Iāve been a Catholic for 65 years and have studied the faith very seriously since being confronted by my non-Catholic in-laws 46 years ago. Iāve never stopped learning. I thought I knew most of the important Truths, but Iām learning even more exciting aspects of the Faith by reading this so-called childrenās book! (And the Lego illustrations are sooo charming!)
I recommend it for everyone from 5 to 95!
Wonderful resource to teach in a fun way about Mass!
I was raised Catholic and had a lot of catechism classes and yet every time I open this book I learn something new. My husband is a convert and is loving reading how everything connects. We have 4 kids and our oldest is 8. Every time he wants to read a book he grabs this one and their other book on the Seven Sacraments. He's constantly coming up to us with new knowledge on the faith and we love watching it come alive for him. Our 5 year old has the attention span of a fly but loves to look at the pictures and is always asking questions about our faith thanks to this book. She is excited to go to mass now too. The authors do an amazing job pulling the Old Testament to the New Testament and it shows from where the mass and all of the liturgical beauty comes. I can't recommend this book enough. The lego pictures are engaging for younger readers and the typology is brilliantly done and easy to understand. Whether you're well versed in the Catholic faith or just interested in learning about it this is an easy and beyond informative book. We'll definitely be using this book to reference for years to come. It will make a great Christmas gift this year!
