Rebellious Saints by Christian Linker, and illustrator, Julia Durr, Twenty-two saints tell their own exciting stories of their love for God and the desire for truth that took them places they never expected to go, empowering them to do remarkable, sometimes very quirky, things. The saints are arranged by their celebrations on the church calendar, from January through December. Each saint's distinctive sense of call, service, and mission is described in the first person. A story or two for each highlights the service for which they are known or what they have come to represent. This is a clear and honest retelling of the stories of saints who have gone against the accepted customs of their time and place in order to share God's love with others. Paperback, 64 pages. Recommended for ages 8 to 11 years old.
