This
volume in the Vision Books series of saints for youth combines a
world famous Catholic novelist, Louis de Wohl, with one of the most
thrilling and dramatic saint's lives in history, St. Joan of Arc. De
Wohl uses his famed narrative skill to tell young people about the
brave teenage French girl who had visions and led armies in battle,
but also about how her entire life testifies to the amazing power of
God's grace.
It's
all here: how Joan, a humble maiden in an insignificant town, was
told by St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret to
lead the French in battle against the English; how she finally
succeeded in convincing the French of the truth of her mission; how
she met with fantastic success but was betrayed, captured, and
imprisoned; and finally, how she suffered through a politically
motivated trial for heresy and was burned at the stake.
Best
of all, de Wohl is not interested solely in the external details of
Joan's life, but in Joan's all-encompassing love for God, which
informed all her courageous actions from beginning to end. You'll not
only thrill to Joan's heroism; your heart will delight in her example
of loving surrender to God's will. Every detail of her life will ring
out to you as a joyful witness to the grace of God.
