101 Saints and Special People   Kathleen Pearce    
This large format hardback gives a fresh and interesting look at the lives of people who trusted in God, and showed courage in adversity. Many lived hundreds of years ago, some before the birth of Christ, however many of the issues they faced, conflict, jealousy, bullying and ridicule, are still with us today. This book not only details the life of each individual but also poses questions related to the text, giving us the opportunity to discuss the issues and help us to make choices about some of the challenges of modern life. At the end of each text there is a list of variations of each name. Can I find my name? Can I find the name of my friends or relatives? With beautiful watercolour illustrations by Martina Spinkova.
