- "I wish I had Fr. Guerrera's gift for communicating with children on profound religious issues. He knows not only their needs but their vocabulary; not only what 'grabs' them, but what turns them off. He retells the Gospel stories with a verve and a freshness that appeals to youngsters; uses props appropriately to compel attention; makes Christian action (forgiveness, helping others), even doing homework on his homily, happy exercises in joyful self-giving." - Rev. Walter Burghardt, SJ
- "Afraid to preach to kids? This is the book for you! A fine book to help the busy preacher prepare for a children's liturgy." - Rev. Benedict Groeschel, CFR
