Lives of Saints Retold for Children

This book is for those who seek high, bright examples to emulate in serving God and people. Its heroes are Christian ascetics, and their lives are skillfully recounted by contemporary writers specifically for children. In these vivid stories about the saints, the history of the Orthodox Church is vividly presented — starting with the parents of the Most Holy Theotokos, the apostles, and the first Christian martyrs, up to the saints of the 20th century.

Every child will grow up and sooner or later will leave their family for adult life and live with other people, different and unlike one another. How to communicate with them? How to understand them? We learn this in our family — the true school of Christian love. Reading lives of saints together creates a good family tradition and shows children wonderful examples of love and kindness, to become better and happier.
