Of the few who had dared explore this immense waterway, none had lived to return and report where it emptied. If he could travel to the mouth of the “great river”, Fr. Marquette hoped to obtain new lands for France and new souls for Jesus Christ. He braved the dangers of tomahawks and tortures to bring the Word of God to the Indians of the New World. Rapids, floods, Indian superstitions, tribal warfare – these are only a few of the obstacles Father Marquette and Louis Joliet encountered in trying to meet their challenge.

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.
