Biographies

This is the action-packed story of a young woman who was called by God to fight for her country, France, during the Hundred Years' War. Leading the French to an improbable victory against the English, Joan listened to the voices of the saints calling her to action and fulfilled her special mission. After this triumph, she was imprisoned and burned at the stake, calling out "Jesus" for her final word. This story captures the courage and faith with which the Christian life is filled.

Saint Joan of Arc (Ess) (Encounter the Saints Series)

Saint Thérèse's life testifies that holiness doesn't require unusual deeds or huge sacrifices. Rather, the little "yesses" of everyday life, when done with a trusting heart eager to please God, are a sure path toward holiness. In her daily surrender to all that Providence placed before her, Thérèse of Lisieux lived out the divine plan. Walk along with one of the most beloved saints in history and see how her "little way" will help you draw closer to God.
