The Cure' of Ars - The Priest Who Out-Talked the Devil

Product Description

The story from the "Vision Books" series of the greatly beloved Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution, who longed to become a priest. But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that Vianney is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere.

To many he is known simply as "the Curé of Ars," the parish priest who devoted his life to the little village of Ars and so successfully led his people to sanctity that he became a prime target of the devil. Illustrated. Ages 9-15.
