The Eucharist Is Really Jesus: How Christ’s Body and Blood Are the Key to Everything We Believe

When the resurrected Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, they didn’t know him.

He was there in the flesh, talking, teaching, but they didn’t recognize him.Until the breaking of the bread.Then their eyes were open, and everything fell into place.The same is true today.When we recognize Jesus in the bread of the Holy Eucharist—when we understand that it’s really Jesus—our eyes of faith are opened, and the mysteries of the Christian life are unlocked.In The Eucharist Is Really Jesus, author Joe Heschmeyer first explains how Catholic belief in the Eucharist is biblical and reasonable.If you’re used to thinking of Communion as a purely symbolic ritual, you’ll find here a compelling defense of the ancient doctrine of the Real Presence.
