Saint Joan of Arc, God's soldier

Sample

Solveig Muus and Bart Tesoriero

Every girl needs to know she is cherished. She needs to share her heart with someone who will honor, esteem, and care for her. She needs to believe there is a God who loves her personally and has a vision for her life. In Saints for Girls, we share stories of real-life girls and women who responded whole-heartedly to Jesus and His love. Some of these holy women were warriors like Saint Joan of Arc, writers and counselors like Saint Catherine of Siena, pioneers like Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, and visionaries like Saint Bernadette. Parents, grandparents, all who care for children, and girls in particular, will enjoy many warm and wonderful 'teaching moments' in the pages of this beautifully illustrated new classic.

The lives of these two saints with similar names could hardly be more contrasting. St. Teresa, reformer of the Carmelites, 'busy woman and great saint', endured the religious mania of sixteenth-century Spain and lived in a state of near perpetual ecstasy. Thérèse, on the other hand, lived the quiet life of a nun in late-nineteenth-century France, was meek, devout and perhaps rather dim. She became a saint of the common people, largely because of the ordinariness of her life (excepting the odd vision).
