The Supper of the Lamb by Scott Hahn & Emily Stimpson Chapman

Go to the Supper with joy, my friend. Go to the Supper that does not end.

Just go to Mass and you will see the Lamb throw open His arms for thee.

The Supper of the Lamb once again brings together bestselling authors Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman, this time to introduce children of all ages to the biblical roots of the Mass. With edifying illustrations from artist Tricia Dugat, The Supper of the Lamb draws from the Book of Revelation as it slowly unveils the layers of meaning in the Mass.

Children of all ages will begin to see how God’s plan, from creation to the Incarnation, leads to the Mass—and that they, too, are invited to partake in the Lamb’s Supper where heaven and earth meet

“Communicating the deep spiritual reality of the Mass in a short book for children is no easy feat, but Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman accomplish it beautifully—they even made it rhyme! Readers of all ages will be entranced by the layers of symbolism and poetry accompanied by gorgeous and timeless illustrations.

“St. Gregory the Great compared Scripture to a river: shallow enough for a lamb to go wading but deep enough for an elephant to swim. The Supper of the Lamb is how children can wade in the Bible’s most difficult book. Beautifully done.”

“Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman are making little theologians out of our kids. I can’t believe how much is packed into this book. I almost hesitate to give it to my children, knowing that they will quickly surpass my own understanding of the faith. Of course, that’s my greatest desire for them and, luckily, I can read the book and learn alongside them!”
