Publisher's Description of Patrick of Ireland (Christian Biographies for Young Readers)
The name St. Patrick is associated with Irish legend and modern holidays. But why is he really worth remembering? In this beautifully illustrated book, Simonetta Carr tells the inspiring story
of how the wealthy, young Patrick was kidnapped from Britain, taken as a
slave to the pagan island of Ireland, and found a way to escape. Yet,
more importantly, we see how Patrick’s suffering as a slave opened his
eyes to the mercy of God and prepared him to return to Ireland as a
missionary. Getting to know the real Patrick of Ireland, young readers
will learn that the joy of the Lord will sustain them through difficult times and strengthen them to share the gospel with others.
Sometimes it's hard to find high-quality biographies written at a level that appeals to children. These beautifully illustrated hardcover books were written specifically with young readers in mind, but I suspect adults will enjoy these, too. They present a good mixture of story with history, in a simple and straightforward style, with pictures on almost every page. In each of them, you'll read through the subject's life, from his childhood (with some background on the context of current events) to his conversion and ministry to his death and legacy. While not all of them are about reformers per se, I can see these books as being a welcome addition to a study on the Reformation, since each person could be viewed as related to that period in some way. Approx. 62-64 pgs. each, hc. - Chad
