With so much incivility, hate, and violence in the world, you
may be wondering how have things spun so out of control? An even more important
question is: How to do we reverse this disturbing downward spiral?
Virginia Lieto’s children’s book Finding Patience offers some answers. Lieto, who is an adjunct
professor at St. Joseph’s College in Maine, teaches theology and advocates a
return to instructing our children in the virtues.
Finding Patience
follows sisters Charity, Hope, and Faith as they adapt to a major change in their
lives—a move to a new home and school. When Faith has difficulty adjusting, her
parents guide her to pray and practice the virtue of patience—a lesson not only
for children but also for adults.
The book offers reassurance that God is good and only wants
the best for Faith but that will come in His perfect timing. And when it does
come, Faith receives Patience in a delightful twist at the end.
If you want a children’s book that not only entertains but
also edifies, then Finding Patience
is the book you have been waiting for—I hope patiently!
