Saints for Young Christians

A delightful little book. It exudes a warmth and character that makes it fun to read. After finishing one story, you want to turn to the next. The author should take care later versions live up to the charm of this one. He combines the history of the times with the lives of the saints thereby raising questions of looking for more. It would be a shame to not hear more from him.

Masterpiece by David Previtali

In another masterpiece by noted theological author David Previtali, "Saints for Young Christians" is the most comprehensive piece on the sainthood ever written. In this easy-to-read, informative book, Previtali provides a biography for each of the Catholic Church's main saints. Previtali is truly one of the greatest theological authors of the 20th century and he is at his best in this work of art. Whether you're teaching C.C.D. or educating your children on their faith, Previtali's book is perfect.

Finally...Heroes Our Kids Can Depend Upon!

"Saints for Young Christians" delivers what it promises: a succint anthology of saints and blessed for children and adolescents (and adults!) which is both interesting and informative. The charming stylized pen and ink illustrations which accompany each biography help to "give a face" to the lives retold. What makes this collection of saint's lives unique is its approach of presenting the spiritual heroes and heroines in the light of a particular Catholic doctrine or moral teaching which was most apparent in their living of the Faith. This volume would be a blessed complement to Christian education in the home or at school, as well as bedtime story-telling. I can only hope that "More Saints for Young Christians" is planned as a sequel to this book.
