The Lion and the Saint

<p><span style="color: rgba(21, 27, 38, 1)">Many centuries ago in the wilds of Africa, a startling and mystical friendship developed between a lion and a saint. St. Gerasim served the lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and in turn the lion served St. Gerasim and his monastery for the rest of his life. This small gem of a story shows us this extraordinary friendship through the eyes of the lion, and of a baboon he befriends along the way, allowing us to participate in the lion's transformation-through contact with holiness-from an undifferentiated dumb beast to a particular lion with his own name and destiny. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgba(21, 27, 38, 1)"><span>���</span></span></p><p><em style="color: rgba(21, 27, 38, 1)">The Lion and the Saint</em><span style="color: rgba(21, 27, 38, 1)"> may be enjoyed by good readers from preteen to adult.</span></p><p>An Orthodox Christian young adult book from Ancient Faith Publishing.</p>
