About this book
All of Andrew Seddon's “new stories about old saints” in a single volume. Makes a great gift! Saints of the early Church come alive in these imaginative tales based on legends of early Christian saints. These stories highlight the extraordinary character of Christians who behaved in a Christlike manner when their faith was tested and challenged by an unbelieving world. In addition to the twenty-four stories from Andrew Seddon's two Saints Alive! collections, Saints of Empire and Celtic Paths, this combined edition includes one BONUS story, “St. Aerdeyrn's Cross.” Here's what readers have to say about the stories of Saints Alive! “I thought it was going to be another Lives of the Saints book, but it's like reading a modern day novel—though the heroes are saints. A good read!” —Praise for Celtic Paths “I bought this book for my niece for Christmas and she devoured it! perfect gift for young people.”—Amazon reader on Saints of Empire “Dr. Seddon takes the old stories and makes them new and applicable to today's culture. Very compelling and interesting reading. Who would think the lives of the saints were so interesting?”—C. L. on Amazon.com “These are well-crafted stories, each one a polished jewel, faith-filled, imparting a quiet wisdom, and often laced with gentle humor.”—A Celtic Paths reader “Seddon manages to shed light on obscure saints by narrating a key moment in their lives that illuminates the distinctive holiness of each. These are enjoyable short stories as well as instructive examples.”—L. N. on Saints of Empire
