“The Big Picture reveals a story full of passion, suspense, adventure, and hope. This excellent resource will help you understand God’s extraordinary plan and the privileged role you play within it.” —Brandon Vogt, author of Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church

"The Big Picture is a crash course in Salvation History, and a perfect addition to CCD and RCIA reading lists. The beautiful bonus is that Amadeus manages to weave in space adventure and a touching tale of friendship lost and regained that, of course, mirrors the book's subject. Well done!" —Ben Hatke, Graphic Novel author, Zita The Spacegirl

"Brendan and Erc are back and just as engaging and funny as ever! This time they guide readers through a galaxy of the greatest questions ever posed by man: How did we get here and what's the point? Is the Christian saga of creation and salvation just wishful thinking? How do we find true joy in life? Get on board and enjoy the ride!" —Susie Lloyd, Author, Please Don’t Drink the Holy Water and Bless Me, Father, for I Have Kids

All four volumes of this Graphic Novel Series are packed with engaging texts and dramatic images that captivate and inspire readers of all ages. In this first volume, you’ll dive into the life of Christianity’s boldest heroes of the Faith, including: St. Patrick, a young boy captured by Irish pirates and made a slave, only to escape and later return to convert all of pagan Ireland to Christianity. St. Jerome Emiliani, the bold soldier who became a Christian while imprisoned in a dark dungeon, escaping to join the priesthood and lead a life in service to the poor and suffering. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the wealthy New York widow who made vows of poverty and chastity, creating the very first Catholic schools in the United States and becoming America’s first saint. St. Henry Morse, the Catholic convert who became a priest and bravely spread the Faith in Protestant England, only to be arrested and martyred for being Catholic. St. Joan of Arc, the thirteen-year-old-girl who God called to rally a demoralized army and lead the Catholic French to an overwhelming defeat of the English. The stirring adventures of these brave Christian souls remind us that God has in mind for each of us a unique mission, worthy of all our imagination and all our daring. Appealing to readers of all ages, these four Graphic Novels will enhance literacy and promote content retention while introducing Catholic saints in a form that can be enjoyed again and again.
