The Story of St. Patrick: More Than Shamrocks and Leprechauns

These are the best series of book for kids I have read about St. Patrick, St. Nick and St. Valentine. They also have one about William Tyndale that I own and have come up with a couple others that I have not bought yet. Do not pay more than $15 for each individual one. They are not out of print you just have to buy them from Voice of the Martyrs. The three holiday collection books are available in a set for $30. The regular price for each book is $15. My 5-year loves these books. We both have learned a lot from them. The illustrations are also beautiful. GREAT BOOKS!

I found this story to be gripping, but easy to read. It is an account written in the late 1950s about the author's time spent as a political prisoner in Russia during the late 1940s-mid 1950s. The author gives an eye-witness account of the atrocities that he endured in a slave labor camp in Siberia and of his and his fellow prisioners' faith in God that sustained him until his release.

John Noble and his family were Americans trapped in Germany during WWII. When the war ended and the Russians came, instead of being liberated and able to return to the U.S., John and his father were arrested and imprisoned for no other reason than the Russians wanted to take over their family owned camera factory. This autobiography covers the nine years John spent in Soviet prisons, how he found God in solitary confinement and how God was with him through the nightmare until his miraculous escape from Siberia. This is by far my favorite non-fiction book.
