Bev Cooke

Conciliar Press, 2006

Not just for adults

I am constantly on the look-out for great children's books. This book was not intended to be a children's book, but her life is written in story format. My daughter, who is seven loved it. It has sparked her interest in other lives of the saints.

Aliki Kafetzopoulou

Saint Herman of Alaska Brotherhood, 2001

A Must Read for Young Christians

The Purple Mantle is a refreshing, albeit historical, novel written for young ...

Very good resource
