Book Review: The Life of St. Brigid
By michelle | October 20, 2009
I was so pleased when Jane G. Meyer contacted me asking if I would like a copy of her new children’s book: The Life of St. Brigid. After much waiting, the book finally arrived, and Spunky tore open the package with excitement. She was enamored with the colorful drawings and slowly turned each page. Then she turned to me and asked me to read it to her. Punky enjoyed the stories and asked many questions along the way.
This book isn’t just for children. It is for anyone who wants to be inspired by the life of a humble Christian woman, an example of love and generosity, written with great detail and poetical language. Jane G. Meyer was able to take a story passed down through oral tradition and turn it into a beautiful work suitable for readers both young and old.
Listen to an audio reading from The Life of Saint Brigid.

That looks like a good one…How is it that authors are contacting you to give you books? I want to get on that list.
I recently bought, “My Warrior Saints” for Alex for Christmas. We also bought a wooden sword and shield. Our plan is to read the book and teach him to be a holy warrior. I can’t wait.

That sounds great, Renee! I just bought a bunch of books for my kids, too. Several Orthodox story books. I’ll post about them once them come in the mail.

So glad you liked the book! I hope you get many good reads out of it, and that your children are inspired to be lovers of giving as she was… May the prayers of St. Brigid be with you, especially during this time of illness in your home.
And look at that new baby! Oh, my… such beauty.
