St. Bakhita of Sudan, Forever Free
St. Bakhita of Sudan, Forever Free By Susan Helen Wallace, FSP. Paperback, 120 pp.
Kidnapped into slavery at the age of seven and brought to Italy as a teenager, the indomitable Bakhita eventually became a Catholic nun and spent over fifty years joyously serving her Lord as a Canossian Sister.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized her. This African saint?s engrossing life story, heroic choices, and forgiving heart make her a wonderful role model! The Encounter the Saints Series offers intermediate readers down-to-earth portrayals of the saints. Each story vividly recreates for the reader the saint?s place of origin, family life, and corresponding historical events.
