The Lives of the Saints for Boys

About this book

The Lives of Saints for BoysThe Lives of Saints for Boys contains a one-page biography of 14 of the most popular male saints. It is a great introduction to Saints Peter, Paul, Joseph, Anthony, Patrick, John the Baptist and other good men that girls will enjoy learning about as well. A full-page, full-color illustration accompanies each Saint. In a culture bombarding boys with distorted masculinity--hyper-aggression in gaming, objectification in media, and relativism in ethics--the lives of male saints offer Catholic boys authentic role models of virtue, courage, and holiness. Hagiography, far from dusty legend, provides living blueprints for integrating faith with manhood. Male saints incarnate the Beatitudes in flesh and blood. Studying them equips Catholic boys to reject counterfeit manhood for the narrow path: protectors, not predators; leaders, not lords; lovers of God and neighbor. In a father-hungry world, this cloud of witnesses (Heb. 12:1) runs alongside every boy racing toward heaven.The Lives of Saints for Boys features: Large text, easy to read for youngsters Beautiful, colorful artwork throughout Full-color illustration of each Saint Short, easy-to-understand lives of the Saints that offer a window on what made them so special in the eyes of God The feast day for each Saint in accordance with the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church Softcover Saddle stitched Nihil Obstat Imprimatur Visit https: //catholicbookpublishing.com/collections/childrens-books for a complete list of Children's Books which make an excellent gift for the child in your life.
