$4.39The Story
- Imaginative work of historical fiction
- Go inside the lives of saints as they unfold
- Holy men & women of the 20th C.
- Enlightens teens and young adults to see real people “rise above”
- Great Confirmation gift or gift for pre-teens and teens
Each of us has the potential to become a saint. We're especially reminded of this when we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation as a teenager and choose a saint as our patron and inspiration, to go forth boldly as a "soldier for Christ" to live and proclaim our Catholic faith. Who better than the saints and blesseds to inspire us in the battle of life?
In this imaginative work of historical fiction, Kevin Wilson places you inside the story of a saint or blessed, experiencing their stories as they unfold. You'll discover that holy men and women of the 20th century were courageous and battle-hardened. They fought evil but with weapons of prayer, Rosary beads, and acts of goodwill, often with similar results, and in some situations also laying down their lives for others. But they were also common people, just like us, so you never know — you might be talking or sitting next to a future saint.
May these stories enlighten readers, especially teens and young adults, to realize this importance of holiness and rise above. As Bl. Carlo Acutis (soon to be a saint!) stated, "All people are born as originals, but many die as photocopies."
“You’re in for an adventure!” —The Most Rev. Edward B. Scharfenberger, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, New York
