Stories of the Saints

Bold and Inspiring Tales of Adventure, Grace, and Courage

By: Carey Wallace

Narrated by: Laura Greaves

A great gift for Communion and confirmation!

Performing Miracles. Facing Wild Lions. Confronting Demons. Transforming the World. From Augustine to Mother Teresa, officially canonized as St. Teresa of Calcutta, discover seventy of the best-known and best-loved saints and read their riveting stories.

Meet Joan of Arc, whose transcendent faith compelled her to lead an army when the king’s courage failed. Francis of Assisi, whose gentleness tamed a man-eating wolf. Valentine, a bishop in the time of ancient Rome, who spoke so often of Christ’s love that his saint’s day, February 12, has been associated with courtly love since the Middle Ages. St. Thomas Aquinas, the great teacher. Peter Claver, who cared for hundreds of thousands of people on slave ships after their voyage as captives. And Bernadette, whose vision of Mary instructed her to dig the spring that became the healing waters of Lourdes. Each saint is illustrated in a dramatic and stylized full-color portrait, and included in every entry are the saint’s dates, location, emblems, feast days, and patronage. Taken together, these stories create a rich, inspiring, and entertaining history of faith and courage. For kids age 10 and up. Imprimatur granted by the Diocese of Brooklyn.

A great way to listen to this book

The books illustrations, while being really nice, are not necessary for following the story audibly. Since my kids already listen to audiobooks (ages 6-8), this works out great. Each chapter is its own story, easy to follow along and understand what is happening. The narrator is pleasant to listen, emphasizes words clearly and helps with understanding bigger words for children.

Fascinating listen

The saints come to life with top notch storytelling. These are real people who did extraordinary things because of their faith in Jesus! I will be listening to this again as the level of detail and history is compelling. Loved the narration as well. Would highly recommend ! Praise Jesus

Excellent rundown of saints

There are so many saints to learn about as a new Catholic that it can be overwhelming. Having a quick rundown of the big ones is super helpful.
