Read by Maria Therese

(4.3 stars; 13 reviews)

The Man Who Dared a King tells the inspiring story of St. John Fisher, a courageous bishop who stood firm in his faith during a tumultuous period in history. Faced with the formidable power of King Henry VIII, Fisher chose to uphold his beliefs rather than compromise his principles.

Set against the backdrop of the English Reformation, this children's story introduces young listeners to themes of integrity, bravery, and the importance of standing up for one’s convictions. Through the lens of Fisher's life, children will learn about the challenges faced by those who dare to oppose authority in the name of their beliefs.

With a narrative that is both accessible and engaging, Rev. Gerald T. Brennan's adaptation invites families to explore the legacy of a man who prioritized his faith over his safety, making it a meaningful addition to any child's library.
