Nothing could stop Father Isaac Jogues. When this young Jesuit was sent to Quebec, Canada, from his native France to be a missionary to the Huron people, Isaac set out with a burning desire to bring Jesus to everyone he encountered. He spent years living and working among the native populations in North America and sharing the Good News with them, and ultimately gave his life for the spread of the Gospel.
Meet Saint Isaac Jogues (1607-1646), a martyr whose love for others and courage in the face of danger helped plant the first seeds of Christianity in North America.

Our 8 year old son really enjoyed this book. He enjoyed learning about Saint Isaac Jogues, and there was a good amount of adventure in it to keep him turning the pages. I love this series of saints books (we have a couple) and are eager to purchase more when we can.
One thing - the book deals with some semi-violent themes (nothing graphic, just the nature of the story of this particular saint), so if you want to do this as a read-aloud I would definitely wait until your kids are 8+.

I read this book to my three boys. We all were on the edges of our seats. What an incredible adventure story - from living with the Huron and being captured by the Iroquois, a daring escape, 17th century cross-seas travel, pirate attacks, horse-rides across France, this story has it all. What an inspiring saint. You do feel his burning heart for Christ. This story is guaranteed to negate any self-pity, as well as inspire gratitude for readily available sacraments. I recommend it to parents and children alike.
