This little book is fun to read for many. Besides the great art, the writer took a lot of good content and squashed it into an easy to read format. So each time you read it you catch something new. I need to get a collection of these for our parish library or school library. Thank you for such a quality product.
Champion of the Poor: Father Joe Walijewski
Excellent comic book! Our kids were immersed in the story from page 1 until the end. This is an awesome way to teach young kids about an inspirational person - a person who is on the path to potentially being named a Saint. Buy this comic book and read it to kids - it's an inspirational story that can spur a desire in everyone who hears the story to be more like Jesus!
I met Father Joe, when I was a young Peace Corp volunteer and he took me out to the pueblos jovenes (new cities or slums). Needless to say it was an eye opening experience for me. More importantly I was so impressed by Father Joes kindness and grace. He was very humble. I have often said he was the closest I have ever been to a saint. I felt very privileged to have known him. So the comic book helped me fill in some gaps of what I knew of him
Thanks
Wonderfully illustrated story about Father Joe Walijewski. Its good to know a little more about Father’s life and my grandson can realize what an impact someone can have on others.
