The sun no sooner rises than it shines; the fire is no sooner kindled than it burns;

so grace acts as soon as the soul cooperates.

The Life of Josemaria Escriva for Children


I don't remember where we got this book but it has long been a favorite with the children. It's really nice for reading aloud since each chapter is one or two pages of text with a beautiful illustration. I love books that make saints real to the children instead of portraying them as fantastical storybook characters. St. Josemaria's childhood is a wonderful example of the dynamic virtue so characteristic of children who love Jesus.

Yes! The Life of Josemaria Escriva for Young Readers is available for sale here. You can also preview several chapters on Google books.
