Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Saint Patrick was the missionary bishop who carried the Gospel to Ireland. How does a comfortable boy from a Romano-British household become a captive in a foreign wilderness, only to discover the God who would send him back to his captors?At sixteen, Patrick was seized from his prosperous family at Bannavem Taburniae and carried across the sea by Irish raiders. Set to work as a captive shepherd in the freezing uplands of Mayo or Antrim, he began to pray out of sheer desperation, finding an unexpected grace in the silence. A voice in the night directed his escape to a waiting ship, leading him through a Gaulish wilderness and eventually back to Britain. Yet the safety of his family could not quiet the recurring dream of a man named Victoricus, bringing letters from the very people who had enslaved him. The narrative closes on the shore of his departure, as Patrick stands ready for consecration as bishop, answering the call to walk among the Irish once more.Unearned grace: the comfortable, faithless youth of a deacon's son before his sudden capture.Clerical formation: his immersion in scripture and liturgy on the Continent despite the lasting shame of his rough Latin.Betrayed confidence: a secret sin from boyhood used against him by a close friend on the eve of his consecration.Night vision: the decisive dream of Victoricus that drew him back to the land of his captivity.Book One of The Apostle of Ireland: A Life of Saint Patrick. This text details his youth and captivity before handing the historical record over to I Live Among Barbarians, a volume chronicling thirty years of perilous pastoral work and the establishment of his flock at Armagh.Readers seeking an introduction to this missionary bishop that does not skip his period of forced servitude, his silent prayers on a cold hillside, or the recurring dreams of his captors. Book One explores the early life of Saint Patrick, tracing his path from British youth to enslaved shepherd and holy bishop. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. He Was a Frightened Boy Taken in Chains - God Made Him the Voice of a NationMost people think they know Patrick. They know the shamrock, the feast day, the legend. But beneath the legend is a Roman-British boy seized by Irish raiders, carried far from everything familiar, and set alone on a foreign hillside - where something unexpected began.The Voice of the Irish follows Patrick from that hillside to the threshold of his mission: the long captivity, the hundred daily prayers, the night God spoke, the walk toward home, the welcome he could not quite accept, the schooling he had not anticipated, and the call that sent him back to the island that had taken his youth.The boy before the bishop - who Patrick was before Ireland claimed him, and the comfortable distance from God he kept until chains and a hillside closed that distance foreverPrayer born in captivity - six years of solitude transforming a lukewarm faith into an unquenchable hunger, one hundred prayers rising daily from a frightened shepherdThe voice in the night - the dreams, the call, the agonizing decision to return to the very land of his enslavementThe long road back - the walk home, the welcome shadowed by wounds that could not stop him, and the schooling and preparation no one expects from a man already formed by sufferingThe open door - how Palladius and providence converged to place Patrick at the threshold of everythingThis is the real Patrick - fully human, perpetually astonished at a mercy he never felt he deserved, and unmistakably marked by the hand of God. Written with reverence for the man the sources reveal, The Voice of the Irish is for the Irish diaspora who carry his name, for Catholic faithful who want their saints unvarnished, and for every reader who has wrestled with a calling that seemed too large for so small a life.Book One of The Apostle of Ireland: A Life of Saint Patrick Book One of The Apostle of Ireland: the early life of Saint Patrick. A boy stolen by raiders, six years of slavery on an Irish hillside, the voice of God in the night, and the calling that would carry him back to the land of his chains. This item is printed on demand.
