This book is for those who seek high, bright examples to follow in the service of God and people. Its heroes are Christian ascetics, and their lives are skillfully narrated by contemporary writers specifically for children. In these lively stories about saints, the history of the Orthodox Church is vividly presented — starting with the parents of the Holy Mother of God, the apostles, and the first Christian martyrs, and extending to the saints of the 20th century. Every child will grow up and sooner or later 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 — a true school of Christian love. Reading the lives of saints together creates a good family tradition and shows children beautiful examples of love and kindness, to become better and happier.
