Publisher's summary

Apostle of California

Much maligned and most misunderstood at this time is the Saint we dare to write of, Junípero Serra! When we live in a topsy-turvy world where to talk of God is not “politically correct", it is no wonder that the father of lies would dare spread all sorts of lies, in an effort to kill the memory of a true role model and demean the work he did. The enemy of God has always done everything possible, to slander and render useless anyone who would remind us of the reason we were born, to love God, to know him and to serve him.

Daring to take the serpent on, our life is dedicated to speaking of those who courageously served the Lord, withstanding the slings and the arrows of their time. Our story is about a man from Mallorca, a sleepy, breathtakingly beautiful island off the coast of Spain, a man filled with love and peace, a missionary who reluctantly answered the call to evangelize!

Our story is not only about a saint, but about a land blessed by the blood of martyrs, its every mile named after the holy - Sacramento (after the Blessed Sacrament), San Francisco (St. Francis), San José (St. Joseph), Santa Ana (St. Ann, Mary’s mother), San Gabriel (St. Gabriel the Archangel), Los Angeles (after Our Lady Queen of the Angels of the Portiuncola), Santa Clara (St. Clare), Santa Monica (St. Monica), San Antonio (St. Anthony), to mention just a few of the thousands of places blessed by the missionaries who gave their lives to come to this land and bring the word of God. Our story is a call to the people of the United States to remember those who came before us, and take back our country from the false gods set up by the enemy of God, and once again consecrate our fair land to the true God, our founder, and Mary, our queen!

History is history, and sometimes history can be offensive to certain peoples, but it does not make history less history; whereas to sometimes accommodate certain cultures, we sacrifice the truth by taking away all that came to pass to form us into the people we are, today. Our story is about Junípero Serra, a true missionary of God!

Great listen!

well thought out and historically accurate! A story that needs to be taught more and the authors did a great job at talking about Serra's story.
