St. Valentine

Saint Valentine by Robert Sabuda
In the ancient city of Rome there lived a humble and gentle man. His clothes were not as fine as the noblemen's, and his leather sandals were worn thin. He did not live in a grand house made of smooth marble,but in a small dwelling in a crowded part of the city. The man's friends and neighbors called him Valentine.


This a lovely book with mosaic-like illustrations. It tells the story of St. Valentine, who was a simple, praying man. He is an excellent role model for our Valentine celebrations: simple and prayerful, not commercial and compulsory. Newsweek says the average man spends $218 on this of all days. Dare to be different -- keep it TRULY simple, and see the joy it can bring.


Happy Valentine's Day.
