The story of St. Thomas Aquinas is one full of moving and dramatic scenes: the flaming destruction of Monte Cassino Abbey, the reception into the Dominican order of the quiet, determined young Thomas, the breath-taking escape from the donjon tower, and the striking instances of the saint’s eloquence and brilliance.
In this book children will enjoy the exciting story of the man who wrote the masterful Summa Theologica, the advisor to popes who refused ecclesiastical honour, the simple friar who shook the medieval world with his intellect.
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.
