For this week's review, let's have a little chat about The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth, by Dr. Scott Hahn. For those of you who go to Holy Family, this is one of the books Suzanne talked about a few weeks ago when promoting Dr. Hahn coming to Granite City in April.

I read this book in one night. As soon as I started, I couldn't put it down. And I would give it attribution - along with 2 or 3 other books (not many) with bringing me back to the full practice of the faith.

In The Lamb's Supper, Dr. Scott Hahn engagingly describes the Mass through the lens of the book of Revelation - the last book of the Bible. He covers each aspect of Revelation and reveals (no pun intended) the rich symbolism exposed in Revelation that exists in the Mass - the true Heaven on earth.

Since reading this book, I have never looked at Mass the same way again.

Add to the quick, simple read (at least partially attributable to Dr. Hahn's very approachable and casual writing style) the fact that he paints the picture of how going to a Mass as a Bible-only Christian with his strong seminary background and studies allowed him to be amazed at each moment of the Mass... since he knew, as he saw it unfold, that it literally was what was described in the book of Revelation. You see some of the back story to his conversion into the Catholic faith.

I'd recommend this one for all ages - for Catholics looking to understand our Mass a bit better and for non-Catholics who just want to understand what we believe in the Mass.

Suzanne and I love this book so much, and it had such an impact on our faith life, that we've since bought over a dozen copies to give or loan to friends and family over the last few years.
