I enjoyed reading this book with my son last year. It tells the fictitious story of a poor boy in France who because of his brave actions to help King Louis IX(the Good)ends up as a page in the king's castle. There he meets Vincent de Paul, who is sponsored by a rich noblewoman to feed and minister to prisoners in the Bastille prison. There the youngster is confronted with how wicked people can become, and how violent. De Paul teaches the boy the humility that all Christians are called to, and he sees what results when unlovely people are shown the love of Christ. This year I will read this book with my second son, because I want him to learn about this humble servant of God.
