The life of Patrick of Ireland
Patrick (385-451) is known for introducing the Christian faith to Ireland.
Coming from a family of wealthy farmers in Scotland, he was kidnapped as a teenager by Irish pirates. Sold as a slave, he will experience the harsh life of this barely civilized country. This is where his childhood faith will deepen.
Through epic adventures, Patrick will manage to escape and find his parents.
His decision to return to Ireland to evangelize the country will be met with incomprehension from those close to him.
Despite countless difficulties and opposition of all kinds, a flourishing church was born from Patrick's ministry. Irish Christianity would be the beacon of Christianity for many centuries.
Through this work you will be immersed in the twilight atmosphere of the end of the Roman Empire and will discover, beyond the legend, one of the greatest missionaries of this troubled period.

Written in simple terms, accessible to readers of all ages, the book aims to portray the character to make him more alive.
