Here are four books to welcome eternal realities into your life and the peace that only God gives, the peace that surpasses all understanding (see Phil 4:7). By Kevin Wilson Each of us has the potential to become a saint. We’re especially reminded of this when we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, usually as a teenager, and choose a saint as our patron and inspiration. Who better than the saints and blesseds to inspire us in the battle of life? Kevin Wilson places you, the reader, in a fictional story of a holy man, woman, or child before their recognition by the Roman Catholic Church. Ever wonder what it was like to befriend Carlo Acutis or Mother Teresa? Fire up your imagination and meet a saint! $15.95.
