I never realized how young Saint Joan of Arc was --- I always thought she was about 24 years old when actually she was  only 16 when she lead France in battle defeating  England. She began having visions of Saint Michael the Archangel when she was about 13-- he began telling her what she was going to have to do to be obedient to God's will.  This is her amazing story of courage and fortitude of first being hailed as a hero then condemned as a heretic.  Can you imagine a girl of 16 going to tell leaders that she was to command their troops in battle?The Life and Prayers of Saint Joan of Arcshows us that she always had the desire to serve God first even when it would be easier not to.The books also has prayers and devotions for contemplation.  All the books in the saints series by Wyatt North are wonderful but I would also recommendThe Life and Prayers of Saint Michael the ArchangelandThe Life and Prayers of Saint Teresa of Avila
