THE WOMEN DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH By COLLEEN PRESSPRICH

Description

This is a beautifully illustrated introduction for children to four extraordinary women who helped shape the Church. Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Catherine of Siena, and Saint Therese of Lisieux all faced unique challenges in their lives but fixed their identities firmly in Christ and became incredible examples of holiness. These women–called Doctors of the Church for their intellectual and spiritual impact–shows us what it means to have a servant’s heart, how to love God and neighbor, and why it’s important to follow God’s unique plan for our lives. The book brings these amazing women to life for young hearts and minds, reminding us that we are all called to be  saints–and maybe even someday Doctors of the church! Hardcover.
