Saint Margaret Mary, Apostle of the Sacred Heart

Book cover: Saint Margaret Mary, Apostle of the Sacred Heart
Author(s): 
Ruth Fox Hume

This is such a beautiful story of a simple, humble nun who was chosen by Jesus to spread devotion to his most Sacred Heart. I especially like how the author presents God's plan and how He had specially prepared Sr. Alocoque and Father de la Columbiere for this important mission. As Ignatius Press is reprinting many books from the Vision series, I hope this will be back in print sometime soon.

The Swamp Fox of the Revolution

Book cover: Swamp Fox of the Revolution
Author(s): 
Stewart Holbrook

Back in print! This interesting and entertaining story is a biography of Revolutionary War General Francis Marion and his significant but oft-forgotten role in winning our independence. Marion is a very interesting character I should have learned about in my history classes in grade school! He fought the British against what seemed like impossible odds (in the Southern Colonies) and ended up playing a very significant role in winning the British surrender.
