St. Benedict, Hero of the Hills
By Mary
Fabyan Windeatt
Length: 160 pages
Illustrated. |
Mary Fabyan Windeatt presents the powerful story of
the famous life and miracles of St. Benedict for the Vision Book series of
saints for youth. Known as the Father of Western Monasticism, St. Benedict
played a major role in the Christinization and civilization of post-Roman
Europe in the sixth century.
Having lived in an era of great immorality
and vice, Benedict founded an order for monks whose strong life of prayer and
work helped convert the godless society around them. It tells how his
Benedictine order of monks spread throughout Europe and the New World. The
heroic life of his sister St. Scholastica, his saving a boy from drowning,
raising one from the dead, and the story of poisoned wine are all told in this
exciting, dramatic tale of a great saint. |
