What is From Bread and Wine to Saints Divine about?

From Bread and Wine to Saints Divine, published by Sophia Institute Press, begins by talking about God’s creation. Next, the author and illustrator show how different things (like bakery ingredients) can be combined to create something new: a cake.

Then, DeStefano and Madsen show how things are transformed, like fire into ash and coal into a diamond.

I am sure you know what they are leading up to next: the Eucharist. The wheat becomes bread; grapes become wine. The bread and wine transform into Jesus’ Body and Blood for us to receive in Holy Communion during the Holy Mass.

Transformation is at the heart of From Bread and Wine to Saints Divine.

As individual people of God, we are transformed into who God wants us to be. We minister to others and continue to grow in faith. Sainthood is our goal.  

Written in a poetic form and having engaging and interesting illustrations, Anthony DeStefano and James Madsen transform From Bread and Wine to Saints Divine to a wonderful book to help children understand the Eucharist and the transformation not only the bread and wine undergo, but we as God’s people undergo as well.

It is a great book for young readers and for adults looking for a book to help them explain the Eucharist to children.
