A Catholic understanding of Valentine's Day!
This picture book transcends the modern-day commercial trappings of February 14 and reveals the heroic faith and compassion of St. Valentine — the legendary martyr who stood up for Christian marriage in a pagan society.
St. Valentine was not a cartoon character or a symbol dreamed up by greeting card companies. He was a real priest, a courageous martyr, and a man who was willing to die for love--God’s holy, sacrificial love.
And remarkably, there are very few children’s books, if any, that tell his story. Until now.
In Your Valentine, Anthony DeStefano brings St. Valentine vividly to life through powerful, rhyming storytelling that children love and parents trust. Without watering anything down, this beautifully illustrated book introduces young readers to:
-
the brave priest who secretly married Christian couples when marriage was outlawed
-
his imprisonment for defending God’s design for love and marriage
-
a moving miracle of healing, friendship, and faith
-
and the unforgettable reason Valentine signed his final message:
“Your Valentine.”
