Angel Food For Jack and Jill: Little Talks to Little Folks

Description

The Baltimore Catechism was a collection of introductory writings for Catholics in North America – the first one of its king – that had the aim to mainly help children going to Catholic school to better understand Christian Doctrine and have a better concept of the underlying essence of what it teaches.

Gerald T. Brennan (1898 – 1962) wrote his Angel Food series of educational short stories for children to offer a delightful presentation of the catechism along with real life applications of the truths, lessons and morals that it expresses.

Angel Food for Jack and Jill is volume five of the series, and it is considered to be one of the most inspiring series of sermons that Brennan wrote especially for children. The author was a Catholic parish priest during much of his time spent in New York during the early 1900s, and this book is just one of the many example of his inspiring works that have touched the lives of children and provided good fun coupled with a healthy dose of important life lessons all in one package.

Like many of his other works pertaining to this series, the collection of 28 beautiful sermons and short stories given by Brennan introduce children to the practical, real life applications of the truths presented in the Baltimore Catechism without confusing tall tales, complicated narrative elements or tedious long words. The stories are made especially to capture the attention of young children and help them internalize the essence of the lessons themselves, rather than get too caught up and distracted with the events and characters in the stories.

For parents who want to teach their children more about the values and truths upheld by the Christian faith and for those who simply want to be reminded of these principles in a simpler fashion, Gerald T. Brennan’s timeless collection will be one of the best reading materials you can consider.
