Christ's Twelve
Christ's Twelve
by Rev. Frank J. Mueller
Over the years 1928-1931, Rev. Frank J. Mueller penned these essays on each of the twelve Apostles for The Sign, a monthly publication of the Passionists. Collected under one cover in 1931 as Christ’s Twelve, these brief character essays use the biblical record to flesh out those few details that have come down to us about each of the twelve men chosen by our Lord to bring His message to the whole world. Though little can be known for certain about many of them, Father Mueller is able to paint a portrait of men with strengths and weaknesses who were nevertheless, through the power of the Holy Spirit, able to lay the foundations of a Church that has endured through the trials of many centuries.

Saint Kevin of Glendalough
Saint Kevin of Glendalough
Hermit, Abbot, and Miracle Worker
by Kevin McKenzie
In 6th century Ireland, the memory of the great missionary, Saint Patrick, was strong, but so was the influence of the old pagan religion. This new Vision Book, Saint Kevin of Glendalough, tells the story of one of the greatest saints of the Emerald Isle.
Saint Kevin founded a monastery in 6th century Ireland that was a beacon of light for the next 800 years. Saint Kevin worked miracles, communed with animals, and inspired thousands to leave everything to follow Christ. Saint Kevin’s example and ministry helped root the light of the Christian faith deep into the hearts of the Irish people. Anyone who visits Saint Kevin’s monastery today will feel his holy and peaceful influence.
Kevin McKenzie spent seven years researching the life of Saint Kevin, visiting places where he lived, and personally translated Saint Kevin’s thousand-year-old Latin life into English. He also set out to walk from Ireland to Rome to better understand Saint Kevin’s own pilgrimage to Rome.
Using his detailed research and the very witness of the places where he lived, McKenzie has woven together the first biography of Saint Kevin in a thousand years. In this book in the acclaimed Vision books series, he has produced a compelling and exciting narrative about Saint Kevin of Glendalough that will inspire and delight readers of all ages, especially youth 9-15 years old.
