Product Description
This 25th volume in the acclaimed Vision Books series of saints' lives for youth 9-15 years old is the story of the saintly Fr. Damien, who in 1872 went to the island of Molokai, where lepers had been exiled to live in miserable surroundings. Damien earned the trust of the lepers, and his appeals for help resonated throughout the world. He spent his life caring for all the needs of the outcast lepers, and even after Damien himself contracted leprosy he carried on working for his "fellow lepers" to the end. Illustrated
Customer Reviews
We read this aloud as part of school work and the kids fell in love with the story of the good priest who chose to go into the leper colony in Hawaii to serve the serve there. A true hero. He not only brought the peace of God, he also bought order, music, civilization and dignity to the inhabitants of Molokai. There is another book about him called Damien the Leper by John Farrow, Mia Farrow's dad, which is also wonderful! I am attaching an image to customer images of the picture my daughter made while listening.
