Publisher's summary

This audiobook combines a world-famous Catholic novelist, Louis de Wohl, with one of the most thrilling and dramatic saints’ lives in history, St. Joan of Arc. De Wohl uses his famed narrative skill to tell young people about the brave teenage French girl who had visions and led armies in battle, but also about how her entire life testifies to the amazing power of God’s grace.

It’s all here: How Joan, a humble maiden in an insignificant town, was told by St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret, to lead the French in battle against the English; how she finally succeeded in convincing the French of the truth of her mission; how she met with fantastic success but was betrayed, captured, and imprisoned; and finally, how she suffered through a politically motivated trial for heresy and was burned at the stake.

De Wohl is interested not solely in the external details of Joan’s life but in Joan’s all-encompassing love for God, which informed all her courageous actions from beginning to end. You’ll not only thrill to Joan’s heroism; your heart will delight in her example of loving surrender to God’s will. Every detail of her life will ring out to you as a joyful witness to the grace of God.

Recommend

Excellent story. The writing style was a bit outdated for my 10 & 11 year old sons, but they still got a lot out of it, especially in the trial and consequences to Joan's accusers. I would have enjoyed the novel immensely on my own if I hadn't made it a project for the kids. It was hard to keep track of characters names at times, but that didn't get in the way of understanding the plot and history.

The narrator did many voices well.

Perfect for teens and adults

It was a very interesting and educational and compelling book on Joan of arc… I never knew all the details of her story until now. Could not wait to see what was next going from chapter to chapter and missed it when we got to the end of the story. It was really great in that it was not gory, but clean for kids and adults. Amazing to see God’s role in her leadership and her faith.
