Patrick: God's Courageous Captive

by Cheryl Odden

Book Overview

Go beyond the St. Patrick's Day symbols of shamrocks and leprechauns and hear the story of a man determined to share the message of salvation with the people who had made him a slave. When Patrick was a young boy, pirates invaded his home and made him a slave on the island known today as Ireland. While there, he recalled the Bible stories that his father had told him and dedicated his life to the Lord. Although he later escaped and returned home, he knew the Lord was calling him back to share the gospel with his captors. Your children will be inspired by the story of this courageous man who returned to Ireland with the gospel despite great opposition.

Not St. Patrick

Patrick I thought was going to be a book about St. Patric who converted the Irish people, and while this book was based on his story it mentioned nothing of his faith, or the Church. Most of it is about his younger life and not much about what actually happened made him important. I wish I could return the book.
