St. Conrad and the Wildfire continues the noble task of storytelling that inspires children and adults in the pursuit of wisdom and virtue. With excellent illustrations and historically-rooted characters, this story demonstrates the power of humility, honesty, courage, and Christian Marriage, in the face of troubling times. I thoroughly recommend this book to any parents and godparents seeking to set before children tales that truly inspire.

St. Conrad and the Wildfire is a beautifully told tale of bravery, sorrow, and the rewards that come from doing the right thing, even when it’s difficult. I can’t wait to read it to my son!

St. Conrad and the Wildfire is a perfect picture book, and more than that, it does the best that any great book can do: By telling a beautiful and true story, it engages the mind and heart, lifts the soul to God, and leaves the reader better than before. We owe a great debt to the author, illustrator, and publisher for bringing the tale of St. Conrad to life in such an exquisite form—both children and adults will delight in the gorgeous pictures and inspiring text. May this book reach the audience it so richly deserves!
