The Monks Stand Guard

By Sylvia Dorham

A Battle . . . with Monks

In this delightfully illustrated and rhythmically written tale, a group of struggling monks learn a powerful truth: not every thought is from God. When the temptation to give up hits hard, Father Abbot gently guides them to spiritual victory with wisdom from Scripture and timeless monastic insight. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 10:5, The Monks Stand Guard is an endearing Catholic children's book that helps young readers learn how to resist temptation and take every thought captive for Christ. Perfect for Catholic families, catechists, and classrooms, this book brings the spiritual life to life--with charm, humor, and heart.
