St. Anthony of Padua has been a friend to millions of Catholics asking his help to recover lost objects. But few seem to know much about his remarkable life. The son of a knight in the court of Portugal's king, he renounced his heritage of wealth and power to become a Franciscan priest. In the years to come, he earned international fame as a preacher, reformer, miracle worker, champion of the poor, and Doctor of the Church. A generation ago, the American Catholic novelist John Edward Beahn presented Anthony's life and legends in a biographical novel, A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua, published in 1953. This imaginative re-telling of the saint s story, based on historical records and traditions, now comes to life again in the TAN Legend series of biographical fiction. The tale unfolds in the epic setting of medieval Europe of the thirteenth century. Monarchs, courtiers, churchmen, knights, nobles and serfs maneuver like chess pieces in an elaborate game of alliances and conflicts between Church and state, Christian and Muslim, Catholic and heretic. Anthony's story takes us from North Africa where divine providence saved the young friar from his mistaken zeal for martyrdom to Italy and France, where his extraordinary gifts and heroic passion for God blazed a path to the rescue and conversion of countless souls. This TAN Legend edition of A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua paints a rich, fascinating portrait of an astonishing saint who turned the medieval Christian world upside down.

Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.

Partly fictional, but nonetheless realistic is this fascinating new story about St. Anthony of Padua, based on the colorful history and traditions that have perpetuated his memory.Here the pageantry of Medieval Europe in the era of Saracen invasions, of clashes between monarch and Church, heresy, knighthood, and serfdom forms a romantic background for the life of a proud young Portuguese nobleman who renounced his rightful heritage of wealth and power to become a humble Franciscan friar. With imaginative force and skill, the author portrays a vital, human St. Anthony, dedicated to the fulfillment of his priesthood, gifted as preacher, heroic as a man, important as a saint much more for the example of his life than for his influence in restoring lost articles. The book follows the youthful Friar Antonio to Africa in his mistaken zeal for martyrdom and then to Italy where he is destined to perform his greatest work and to attain fame as a preacher. At Rimini, center of a heresy against the doctrine of the True Presence, Antonio scores his first victory over the heretic leader Bononillo by accepting a taunting challenge that results in the miraculous conversion of the whole populace.Accompanied by Ruggiero, the towering lay Brother who remains his loyal companion throughout the story, Antonio meets with further success in other parts of Italy and in France. The miracles he performs, the throngs he converts, the ordeals he faces both as a man and a priest, the struggles he encounters in trying to preserve the true spirit of Franciscanism after the death of its founder, and the joys he experiences in doing the will of God-these are some of the episodes that make "A Rich Young Man" a book of sustained interest and high inspiration.
