St. Joan of Arc is your guide in this armchair retreat. A woman undeterred by criticisms of her youth, her sex and her sanity, Joan of Arc single-handedly changed the course of history. She is an inspiration to those who struggle to find, and follow, the will of God. "Joan of Arc is a bundle of contradictions: simple yet sublime…a mystic whose earthy response to her visions was to inspire an army…a glorious military hero who ended up a failure, betrayed by her friends and burned at the stake by her enemies," writes author Barbara Beckwith, managing editor of St. Anthony Messenger. Beckwith shows that a nineteen-year-old from the fifteenth century has much to teach Catholics today. Paperback, 104 pages, list price $9.95.
