The McGradys do an outstanding job of explaining reconciliation from a parent point of view! Their storytelling weaves personal stories with deep truths that will inspire parents everywhere! This would be a wonderful gift for parents of children preparing for first reconciliation!

I’ve followed Katie and Tommy literally for years. The way that they write is always down to earth, honest, and right on the money.

In this book, Katie and Tommy talk about preparing Rosie, their daughter, for the sacrament of reconciliation (confession). It’s always interesting how, when we watch our kids go through huge life events like developing a personal faith, it will always impact us personally.

I cried, no joke, every single chapter. I’m talking tears streaming, snot falling on the kindle, gasping for breath kinda crying. I didn’t know I needed to read this, and I’m so glad I did.

I am blessed to have received this book as an ARC through NetGalley for free, and all opinions are my own.

What a joy it was to read and ponder this book! I thought I knew everything there was to know about Confession, but I gained new insights by meditating on this incredible work. The examples shared from the McGrady Family’s lives are memorable and illustrate well the points made in the book. This is a true spiritual treasure which I am eager to share with others.

This was full of great stories and personal/family anecdotes that will make you reflect on God’s influence in our lives (in both an overarching sense as well as a daily basis).

I feel like the title could have maybe been clarified a little as labeling it as a reconciliation guide evokes something different than what I found here. I expected the entire book to be a more in depth version of what the appendix ended up being. Again, that doesn’t negate the merit and value of what the book is — but it did leave me wishing the guide portion would have been more developed and expanded.
