Saint Jose
Author: Kevin McKenzie
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1642290769
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This new title in the acclaimed Vision Books lives of the saints series for youth 9-15 yrs. brings to life the inspirational story of St. José Sánchez del Río, a 14 yr. old boy in Mexico who died a martyr for the Catholic faith during the Cristero War in the 1920s. Meet young José and his friend Trino as the war breaks out in their hometown of Sahuayo. Follow José through his own struggles as the violence escalates, up to his joining the Cristero army in 1927 to fight for freedom of religion. Captured by government forces, José refused to deny his faith in exchange for his freedom. Tortured and forced to march to his grave, he cried out, "Viva Cristo Rey!" (Long live Christ the King) José died as he had lived, a hero. Inspired by this young martyr to become a priest himself, Father McKenzie spent ten years researching and writing José's story. The result is a riveting tale of a young man's bravery and passion for God. Drawing on all existing sources, including never-before-seen documents from the Vatican and the Mexican Government, Saint José plunges the young reader into a country at war, not over territory, but over the right to worship God freely. Canonized in 2016 by Pope Francis, St. José is one of the newest and youngest saints of the Catholic Church, and an inspiration to people from all walks of life. He shows us that our faith is worth fighting and dying for. His example is a powerful catalyst for young people today, so many of whom are tempted to never commit themselves to any serious calling in life.

Life As A Lie
Author: Rebecca Perere
Publisher: First Edition Design Pub.
ISBN: 1622874544
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The year is 1650. This romantic adventure begins in Spain and continues with a long voyage to the Highlands of Scotland. Flora Gastelum, a smart, talented and very strong-willed woman lives in Barcelona. At one time, her life was very comfortable, but then the lies meant to protect her ripple to the surface. Jose, an evil uncle, confesses that he murdered her beloved father and a near rape forces her into a life and culture she never dreamed of. Flora is faced with a bleak choice: Stay in Spain living with greed, certain unhappiness and possible death, or take the risk of a new life, continued adventure, and a future unknown. Jose’s son had hoped to marry Flora, but now all he hopes for is revenge, and has vowed to track her to the ends of the earth if need be. Believing her mother to be shallow and unfaithful, as well as fearing for her own life, she leaves her ancestral home with Moray MacLeod, who offers her freedom by taking her to his castle in the Highlands of Scotland. Moray MacLeod, Laird of Clan MacLeod, is a Highlander known for his power and rugged good looks. A strong and virtuous man, he possesses a tender heart when it comes to the people he loves. Bound by honor and intrigue from a promise his dead father made, he hurls himself into danger that threatens his life and the life of the woman he has fallen deeply in love with. Their voyage to Scotland takes them to a small trading port called Vigo. A storm nearly sinks their boat and forces them to dock in need of replenishing supplies. To their surprise, they find Antonio, a six-year-old child who has been missing from Spain. Flora and many others in Barcelona had been near desperate to find him, but after months of searching all hope was lost. Bruised, beaten and badly scarred from a whip, the child finds allies who are willing to care and protect him. An entire clan of fearless warriors bond with Antonio, each man finding a place in their hearts for an orphan child. Flora and Moray find happiness neither one expected, but will the dangers, lies and evil in Spain follow her to Scotland, threatening to destroy the life and country she’s grown to love?
