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.

A Soldier Surrenders
The Conversion of St. Camillus de Lellis
by Susan Peek
There are very few stories written about the life of St. Camillus, but his life story is one that both the young and old would do well to hear. In a style very captivating, Mrs. Peek imparts the fascinating story of this great saint who - at an early and rebellious age - went off to become a 16th century soldier-of-fortune. A belligerent and often brash young soldier, this self-seeking Camillus de Lellis frequently gives in to his passion for gambling and drinking, leaving him, for the most part, in dire straits. And though he sometimes cooperates with grace, he always seems to find himself back in trouble. Ultimately pushed to the brink of utter despair and humiliation, this stray and obstinate soul finally surrenders to the King of Kings, and the soldier of fortune becomes a soldier of Christ. An inspiring story of perseverance and the eventual surrender to the Divine Will.
