For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucha

Deacon Dennis Lambert describes himself as a Thomas who wants to know the why behind everything. If you are a skeptic, cynic, or doubter, this book is for you. You will never look at the Eucharist, read certain Scripture passages, or even see the Catholic Church, the same way once the pieces come together. Because of this book, you'll be able to share the Eucharist with others. Welcome to the relay race! --Deacon Pedro Guevara-Mann Salt and Light Hour (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucharist makes a profound-but-challenging topic approachable for everyday Catholics. Without sacrificing any of the great mystery, Deacon Dennis provides explanations and historical background that beautifully illustrate both the Church's understanding of the Eucharist, and how to communicate this great truth to others. This book will be a blessing for teachers and students of the faith. --Steve Greene Kino Catechetical Institute (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) A thoughtful explanation of Christ's presence in the Eucharist that is approachable and readable without compromising the depth or history of the source and summit of our faith. I highly recommend everyone read this book and fall in love once again with Jesus who never leaves us and is truly present at every Mass. --Ryan Hanning, Ph.D. The Institute for Catholic Theology (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) At a time when there is great confusion and unbelief surrounding the Church's perennial teaching on the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, Deacon Dennis Lambert's For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucharist provides much needed clarity. The reader will find rich food for heart and soul to grow in faith and appreciation of the awesome gift of the Eucharist. This book will be an excellent resource for those who want to pass on the Church's teaching to others in a clear and simple way. --Bishop Thomas J Olmsted Diocese of Phoenix (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) Dioceses are closing or clustering parishes, polls show that the majority of Catholics do not believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, and Church attendance is waning. For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucharist is an invaluable contribution toward a much-needed Eucharistic renaissance. Deacon Dennis Lambert provides a thorough theological history of the Eucharist, and his personal reflections bring a rich spiritual dimension to the work, fostering in the hearts of readers a deeper love and devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament. This book provides a wellspring of wisdom that will satisfy the soul's thirst for intimacy with Christ. Very highly recommended! --Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers Author, Our Life of Service (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) The Holy Eucharist is not only the source and summit of the Catholic faith, it is quite possibly the most misunderstood mystery within Catholicism. What a tremendous gift this book is for souls longing for Jesus, and for answers. Deacon Dennis Lambert methodically explains not only what we believe as Catholics but, even more importantly, why we believe it. Drawing on trusted Biblical scholars and the timeless wisdom of the saints, the reader is given a simple yet profound understanding of the eucharist as God's greatest gift and his plan of salvation. With relatable stories and Scripture verses, For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucharist is a must for Catholics who want to dive deeper into the sacramental mystery and learn how to help those they love do the same. --Mark Hart, CIO Life Teen International (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM) With wonderful clarity, For Real? Christ's Presence in the Eucharist, addresses one of the most important subjects of our times. Using a relay race analogy, Deacon Dennis Lambert lays out how the message of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist began with Jesus himself and was passed, unchanged, to the Church of today. It was even prefigured in many passages in the Old Testament. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all who seek to draw closer to Our Lord and Savior. --Deacon Bob Evans Diocese of Phoenix (5/19/2022 12:00:00 AM)
