Just wanted to elaborate on my ...Hi there, Amanda! Just wanted to elaborate on my suggestion of this book for you. At the time this was written (in the 1890s), FHC was commonly not given until later, perhaps at 12. I think the language level of this book reflects that. I'm using it with my oldest two (both age 7) and they're following it just fine, but I would also consider them advanced in that area. All that to say that you might want to pre-read a bit and see what age you would find it fitting for when it comes to your kids. I had forgotten about it when my kids were actually doing their FHC prep last year (they did it young--at age 6), but when I finally remembered and pulled it out, I realized that it might even be better when they were a bit older anyway. Which is why I added it to our curriculum this year. ;)<br /><br />Also, it is quite long (very thorough!), and the second section of it was specifically written for "After Communion." So it is definitely perfectly suitable reading for the family--older kids and adults will get a lot out of it too--and for stretching over a long period of time. We're reading a half chapter a week which is plenty, so we'll be reading the whole book over about two years.
