Holy Shocking Saints is a beautifully illustrated book celebrating
the extraordinary lives of twelve remarkable people. Whether
mystics, healers or holy people, their strong belief was the
catalyst that set them on the spiritual path. Some renounced
wealth, position and marriage proposals; others had a burning
desire to explore the world to teach about their faith. Determined
and fearless, most of these men and women had to conduct, endure or
witness shocking deeds throughout their lives. Their acts of
kindness, incredible achievements and miracles that occurred before
and after their deaths eventually made them saints. From Colmcille
confronting the Loch Ness Monster, to Brendan setting sail across
the Atlantic, to Li Ban transforming into a mermaid for three
hundred years, whether fact or fiction this collection of stories
will delight and entertain readers from ages seven and up.
