Lion Treasury of Saints
From the Time of Jesus to the Present Day
by David Self
GoodBookStall Review:
Originally reviewed on publication in 2003, I am delighted to say that responding to popular demand Lion have re-printed and re-issued this book exactly as it was before, and I have felt no need to change my review.
Aimed at children aged 7 – 14 years, I was loathe to put this into the Children’s or Young People’s category where it might be missed. This is a quality production as we would expect from Lion, and I am sure will appeal to a wider age range than the target group. Each saint has a double page spread, and the author has in mind the usefulness of this book to those teaching at Key Stage 2. Here is an introduction to the lives of over a hundred saints and remarkable Christian lives, beautifully illustrated and a joy to read.
