Patrick of Ireland, or St. Patrick to most, is most often associated with shamrocks, the color green, and leprechauns. His legacy, however, goes far beyond a mid-March holiday. Simonetta Carr introduces young readers to the inspiring story of how the fifth-century missionary’s suffering as a slave opened his eyes to the mercy of God. Patrick’s testimony reminds us of how God is faithful to comfort His people while encouraging us with an oft-misunderstood story of church history.
“The story of Patrick beautifully told and illustrated. Simonetta Carr brings to life a great man of faith and his troubled times. Historically accurate and inspiring to readers of all ages.”–Phillip Freeman, professor of humanities at Pepperdine University and author of St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography
“Why does Patrick matter? And what really mattered to Patrick? Simonetta Carr’s wonderful new book on Ireland’s most important Christian lets Patrick tell his story in his own words. Younger readers–and older readers, too–will delight in the amazing story of how God brought the gospel to Ireland.”–Crawford Gribben, professor of history at Queen’s University Belfast and author of The Rise and Fall of Christian Ireland
