Joan of Arc: Heavenly WarriorSterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2009 - 124 pages "Although France would be lost by a woman, a maiden would save it" (French prophecy during the 1400s). Joan of Arc was that maiden, and her courage, dedication, eloquence and martyrdom make her an enduring inspiration. Acclaimed author Tabatha Yeatts depicts Saint Joan s remarkable story, from her first experience hearing sacred voices to her canonization. Learn all about Joan of Arc s childhood in war-torn France; ride with the young warrior into battle after battle and see how she helped a king win his rightful crown; watch as she falls into British hands and suffers an unjust trial for heresy and find out about her terror-filled final days and how, finally, her reputation was gloriously, posthumously restored. |
