Patricia St. John: The Story Behind the Stories by Irene Howat

Patricia St. John: The Story Behind the Stories by Irene Howat

Patricia St John’s life is a story in itself. Patricia grew up to become one of the world’s best loved Christian writers for children. When looking after thirty children in a boarding school, her exciting bedtime stories were favourites with the children. They were later to become her classic stories, Tanglewood’s Secret and Treasures of the Snow. Every place that she called home was the inspiration for yet another story that brought children to understand and love the Lord Jesus Christ.   The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Irene Howat will challenge young readers to know and share Jesus like Patricia St John did.   A well–known and long–standing series: Over 50 titles Great for ages 9 to 14 Published in 14 languages Half a million books sold Also available in box sets when one book is not enough! 7 themed box sets, each with 5 books Each biography follows the trailblazer’s journey to faith, and on to the work that God had planned for them. With lots of dialogue, these engaging stories show how God uses normal individuals to bring about his purpose.   Each book features: Thinking Further Topics for each chapter to help readers think about how what they’ve read applies to their life today Timeline of important events in the lifetime of each book’s subject

Patricia St John was missionary; she was a nurse; she based her children's books on places where she lived or visited; her parents were missionaries. Irene Howat does a wonderful job of making Miss St John come to life on the pages. A recommendation on the back of the book is for ages 7-9 (read to me) and 9-14 (read myself), but I would think it's a great book to give to anyone of any age.
