A Catholic Child's First Communion Bible (Red Cover)

A Catholic Child's First Communion Bible is a compact, child-friendly gift book specifically designed for boys or girls (ages roughly 5-8) receiving their First Holy Communion (First Eucharist). Authored by Ruth Hannon and Rev. Victor Hoagland, C.P.,

It is not a complete or full-text Bible. Instead, it presents a carefully selected collection of simplified Bible stories from both the Old and New Testaments, retold in short, easy-to-read one-page narratives. Each story is paired with a vibrant, full-page color illustration in a traditional, engaging style that appeals to young children. The selections trace salvation history from Creation all the way to the Ascension of Jesus, helping young readers understand God's love, key events in salvation history, and the foundations of Catholic faith--especially in preparation for the sacrament of the Eucharist. The language is gentle and age-appropriate, with no complex theology, making it an ideal keepsake that children can read themselves or have read to them.
