Editorial Reviews

"A children's book with much wider appeal. Accented with charming, simple, cartoon-style illustrations, the book tells the story of St. Patrick, including legends and folklore about the saint along with his actual history. Although definitely geared towards children, And God Blessed the Irish can teach even adults."

"A new children's book about the saint of Ireland that, I predict, everyone in the family will want to read. This special book made me fall in love with Patrick, the teenager who was dragged away from his home and family, and made a slave in Ireland, and who somehow let God's grace reshape him."
