A Story Of Saint John Vianney is the life of the famous Curé d'Ars retold for children. Emphasis is put on the fact that he struggled academically and almost couldn't become a priest, but still managed not only to become a priest but also to become a saint. Which is a fairly good lesson as such lessons go.

Vianney was born to a poor family in a time when priests were banned by the revolutionary French government. By the time this was changed, he had a lot of catching up to do and struggled show more in the seminary. When he received the parish of Ars, he arrived to find hardly anyone attended services. By hard work and personal devotion, he not only changed things locally, but soon become known throughout France.

An interesting take on an interesting life. There are not as many pictures in this one, so it is probably best for intermediate readers or reading aloud.
