This book tells the inspirational story of the great French saint of charity, St. Vincent de Paul.
From his days of youth as a shepherd boy to his slavery in North Africa, his escape to France, his priestly service to the poor and to abandoned children, his founding of both the Vincentian Order and the Daughters of Charity, clashes with the Jansenists and his political adventures at court, this dramatic story of Vincent de Paul is sure to inspire all readers.
The Vision Books list is one of the most popular and well written series of saints’ lives ever produced for young people. These great men, women and children of the church are brought vividly to life in these enjoyable retellings of their stories. Aimed at 9-15 year olds and beautifully illustrated, they will be a popular addition to any bookshelf.
Part of the Vision Books series, available on the Guild bookshop.
