What gifts did Jesus leave us to help us reach Heaven?
In The Wonder Gifts, Marion Ames Taggart introduces young children to three of the Sacraments—Penance, Holy Communion and Confirmation—not merely as things Catholics receive, but as wonderful gifts given to us by Our Lord Himself. Through simple explanations, stories and beautiful full-color pictures, children begin to understand how Our Lord gives them His grace through the Sacraments—and why these gifts should be treasured.
And once again, Taggart makes the truths she teaches something children can see. St. Peter receives the power of the keys; the Apostles receive Our Lord at the Last Supper; the Holy Ghost descends at Pentecost. And the stories of saintly children show what it looks like to love these gifts in return. The Sacraments become part of a story—and the child discovers that the story reaches all the way to him.
The Wonder Gifts is the third of four charming little books by Marion Ames Taggart which we have brought together as The Wonder Series. Beginning with the coming of the Infant Jesus, the series leads children through His hidden childhood, introduces them to three of the Sacraments, and finally leads them through the Holy Mass.
Faithful to the original 1920s editions, each book is printed throughout on heavy 100 lb. cover stock, giving its large pages unusual substance and durability—perfect for little hands. We have lovingly restored the original illustrations and design so that a new generation of children can enjoy these beautiful books much as their first readers did.
