Many centuries ago in the wilds of Africa, a startling and mystical friendship developed between a lion and a saint. St. Gerasim served the lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and in turn the lion served St. Gerasim and his monastery for the rest of his life. This small gem of a story shows us this extraordinary friendship through the eyes of the lion, and of a baboon he befriends along the way, allowing us to participate in the lion's transformation-through contact with holiness-from an undifferentiated dumb beast to a particular lion with his own name and destiny. The Lion and the Saint may be enjoyed by good readers from preteen to adult.

This illustrated encyclopedic book contains stories and facts on over 100 saints and remarkable Christian lives, from the Gospels to the 20th century, making it an invaluable reference tool and a lovely book to browse and dip into. The book is arranged by time and by region, starting with the saints of the Bible in the Holy Land and moving to different countries that reflect the spread of Christianity - from the lands around the Mediterranean in the early centuries to more distant regions and ultimately the whole world. Engaging storytelling combines with encyclopedic features (captions, illustrations, side-boxes, snapshot biographies and a calendar of saints' days) to bring the stories to life in an engaging and informative way.
