Stubborn Love: A Story of Saint Maria of Paris – JUST IN

by Rheta Thola, illustrated by Mike Stonelake

During one of the darkest times in recent history, God gave us a saint. This saint had to be someone stubborn—stubborn enough to outshine evil even when confronted with it face to face. But how did Saint Maria become a person whom God could inspire, help, and guide during such a dark time? How did she wrestle with her own temptations and allow Christ to grow brightly in her soul?

Stubborn Love is one book in three parts, written for young people. “Her Life” tells the story of Mother Maria Skobstova of Paris from birth to death. This first section of the book is accompanied by graphic novel–style illustrations to help the young reader imagine her work, family, and adventures. “Her Writings” comes next—a smattering of some of the notes and thoughts that shaped her. “Your Life” is the final section, where the reader is challenged to consider his or her place in the world, using Mother Maria’s life and sayings as a springboard for journal entries. Group study questions are found at the very end.
