Saint Athanasius The Apostolic

Athanasius was a boy from Alexandria who grew up to become a bishop and defend one truth the whole church almost lost: that Jesus is truly God. Most children have never heard his story, and that is a shame.

This beautifully illustrated Christian children's book tells it simply and faithfully. When a teacher named Arius claimed Jesus was not really God, young Athanasius saw the danger. If Jesus is not fully God, He cannot save us. So he stood on Scripture and helped write the Nicene Creed, the confession Christians still say today.

His courage cost him everything. He was exiled five times and spent nearly seventeen years away from his church, yet never gave up. Children come away seeing that faithfulness is not about being popular. It is about obeying God even when you stand alone.

A true story of church history for kids, perfect for family read-alouds, Sunday school, and Christian homeschooling.
