xennicole 's review for:

The World of Saint Patrick by Philip Freeman
3.0

This book was the First Reads win.

This book contains the important documents that are attributed to Saint Patrick, Saint Brigid the First Female Saint in Ireland and Saint Brendan adventures on the seas.

There is enough information in the intro to give a reader a sense of what they are reading. Nothing too deep or long. I would have prefered more info, but Philip Freeman has also written a book on Saint Patrick, which explains the little information here. This is more about the primary documents that Ireland holds dear when it comes to their Christian faith.

It was good, informative and short. Even though it is titled "The World of Saint Patrick" about only half of the pages are about him. The other is about Saint Brigid and Saint Brendan.

If you want to know about three Saints and the documents/stories of their faith and miracles then this book fulfills.
