| Description: |
Based on extensive first-hand research, this inspiring biography introduces young readers to the remarkable life of St. Maximilian Kolbe. From his childhood in Poland and career as a journalist to founding Niepokalanow, once the world's largest friary, Kolbe's extraordinary journey is brought vividly to life. His courageous act of self-sacrifice during the Holocaust offers a powerful example of faith, compassion, and love in action, showing that Christianity is lived through service to others.
The author traveled to Poland to visit the places Kolbe called home and interviewed people who knew him personally, including his cousin, secretary, and former student. The foreword is written by Ted Wojtkowski, a fellow Auschwitz prisoner who witnessed Kolbe's historic offer of self-sacrifice.
This moving biography makes history personal while reminding readers that saints are real people whose courage and faith continue to inspire today. |
