What is really happening at the altar during Holy Mass?
In The Wonder Offering, Marion Ames Taggart gives young children a beautiful way to begin understanding the answer. As she leads them through the Mass, the life and Sacrifice of Our Lord unfold alongside it, helping children recognize in the ceremonies at the altar the great events of His life, Passion and Resurrection.
Thus the ceremonies at the altar become something a child can begin to see and understand: it is the Sacrifice of Jesus, in which we adore God, thank Him, ask His forgiveness and beg for His gifts—and in which we ourselves are invited to join our offering to His.
The book's exquisite full-color illustrations make these connections especially vivid, placing scenes from the life of Christ beside the corresponding moments of the Mass. By the final blessing, the child has traveled with Our Lord from Bethlehem through Calvary to the Resurrection.
The Wonder Offering is the fourth volume and a fitting culmination to Marion Ames Taggart's Wonder Series, following The Wonder Story, The Wonder Days and The Wonder Gifts.
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.
