Many centuries ago in the wilds of Africa, a startling and mystical friendship developed between a lion and a saint.

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.
