The Real Presence

Show children how God is present in the Eucharist!

Zedekiah and Abigail, two young cousins living in Capernaum at the time of Jesus, argue about everything. They want Jesus to judge which of their families’ crops is better--grain or grapes? But when they find themselves in the Upper Room at the Last Supper with gifts of their harvests for Jesus, they discover something more important than their presents.

 “Simple and beautiful, this imaginative tale takes children to the time of Jesus and introduces them to the gift of the Real Presence found in the Eucharist.”

 —Dr. Edward Sri

“Claudia’s knowledge of Scripture and her understanding of the behavior of kids combine with her rich imagination to deliver a relatable, thought-provoking tale about youngsters who could have lived at the time of Jesus. A truly fresh and inventive way to present to children the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.”

 —Jeff Cavins,

"One of the most effective ways to teach children is through stories. In The Real Presence, Claudia McAdam harnesses this power to communicate the truth of the Eucharist in a fun and comprehendible way. This engaging and heartfelt story is sure to become an instant family favorite."
