SAINT EDITH STEIN - BLESSED BY THE CROSS
— Mary Lea Hill, FSP
Born into a devout Jewish family, Edith Stein became an atheist while still a teenager. She went on to achieve great success at the university where she studied philosophy. But she felt she was lacking something, an inner yearning for the God she was fleeing from. Then God spoke to her heart through the writings of Saint Teresa of Avila. Edith became a Carmelite nun and a martyr during World War II.
Saint Edith Stein: Blessed by the Cross is a story that children can relate to as they study history and begin to see the effects of prejudice. Edith Stein is a saint who lived the complexities of modern political situations with the simplicity and trust of one who is confident in God's ultimate reliability. Recommended for ages 8 – 12.
