St. Fernando Is A Great Book!

It is so great to read a book about saints living together! Even though Saint Fernando's mother and wife were not canonized they were very holy and always ready to do what God wanted!

St. Fernando was such a great saint who just did what he was supposed to do even when it was hard.

Ever heard of the White Knights?

Did you know that in Catholic Spain there were Catholic Kings trying to provoke other catholic Kings into fighting them when they should have been helping the one, who they were attacking, to fight the Moors?

I find it so amazing that after as long and hard as so many Spaniards fought to get the Muslims out of their country and the many men who died for this, they now just let them in through the front door and don't do any thing about it!

I think this is a great book that every one should read! It is gripping, exciting, truly Catholic and a book that will teach you how to be come a saint! It is also a great history book. I never understood what a siege was or many of the other methods of war fare that they used during the Middle Ages. The way our text books taught about these wars always used to make me think "Those hate full barbarians!" I have a different opinion now!

St. Fernando, Pray For Us!
