The stories of great figures in Christianity still inspire people today. Joyce Denham tells the tales of fourteen major saints, from Bible times to the late Middle Ages. For each one she gives a short historical introduction and then retells a memorable episode from their life - one which shines a light on the work and wisdom for which they were most loved and remembered. The book, which is illustrated with medieval-style tinted wood-cuts, ends with a short section giving more information about each saint, with the dates of the Feast days which celebrate each of their lives. Saints mentioned include from the Bible: Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, Mary Magdelene, Stephen, Paul; saints from Christian history (third to fourteenth century): Lawrence (Italy), Martin of Tours (France), Genevieve (France), Columba (Ireland/Scotland), Bathild (England/France), Francis of Assisi, Elizabeth of Portugal, Bridget (Sweden). The book should appeal to children and be a useful resource for primary school teachers and parents.

This wide-ranging collection of prayers includes ancient prayers from the Carmina Gadelica and other sources and Psalms in translation, paraphrase and verse, as well as new prayers written in the style of ancient Celtic sources by Joyce Denham herself. The book is suitable for those looking for worship material to use in schools and churches, to devotees of all things Celtic and those seeking an aid to personal devotions.

The story of Jonah is full of ingredients that children love: a dangerous mission; a man on the run; danger at sea; an incredible whale rescue; and a grand finale about forgiveness. Amanda Hall and Joyce Denham give this classic tale their own special twist. The beautiful illustrations and dramatic story line make this a great read.
