The Saint I Knew!: Exciting "Encounters" with Holiness

Kevin Wilson

Each of us has the potential to become a saint. We're especially reminded of this when we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, usually as a teenager, and choose a saint as our patron and inspiration. Who better than the saints and blesseds to inspire us in the battle of life? In The Saint I Knew! Exciting "Encounters" with Holiness, Kevin Wilson places you, the reader, in a fictional story of a holy man, woman, or child before their recognition by the Roman Catholic Church. Ever wonder what it was like to befriend Carlo Acutis, Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), or Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa)? Let's get started!
