Vision Books on Saints


My children love the "Vision" series of books on saints by Ignatius Press. These are chapter books of about 150 - 200 pages in length. We have read a couple of them already, and the boys were eager to get more. Today Isaac and I visited our local Diocesan book and gift shop, The Open Window and we picked up "Bernadette: Our Lady's Little Servant," "St. Thomas More," and "St. Anthony and the Christ Child." We also put four more books on order. This should keep us busy for a little while! Seriously, though, I am trying to get my children to know as much as they can about the saints as positive role models before anti-religious peer pressure starts kicking in. Right now, they are eager learners and I want to take advantage of that. The saints are interesting people. I enjoy these stories as well and always learn something from reading them. It is good to know more about our friends up in heaven.
Here is the full list of books in the series. Click on any of these links to be brought to the Amazon page to learn more about the text or to order the book.
