Catholic Saint for Teens (Vision Books)
Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish weaver's son, grew up to become a priest, a missionary, and ultimately, a martyr. His decision to take the place of a condemned man in the Auschwitz concentration camp is one of the greatest stories of heroism to emerge from the Holocaust. This book brings to life for a younger audience the incredible story of Kolbe's life, which was shaped by the political unrest, social change, and spiritual battles that defined the modern world.
At the heart of Kolbe's life was a deep love for Our Lady and a desire to share the love of God with as many people as possible. He founded the Militia Immaculatae, also known as the Knights of the Immaculata, a Marian movement that has spread throughout the world. Kolbe's imitation of Mary's tremendous trust in God enabled him to bring hope everywhere he went, including the grim confines of a prison camp.
Kolbe was a great innovator, using multimedia to spread the Gospel, which took him all the way to Nagasaki, Japan. His dedication to his faith and his willingness to sacrifice for others are inspiring examples of the power of love and the human spirit to triumph over even the darkest of circumstances.
This book, which recounts Kolbe's incredible life and heroic death, is a testament to the enduring impact of one man's courage and conviction. It is a story that will resonate with readers of all ages, inspiring them to follow in Kolbe's footsteps and to embrace the transformative power of faith, hope, and love.
