In Joseph's arms Christ was secure Kept safe from harm, and ever sure. In Joseph's arms Christ did mature And see the Father's face. Joseph, Keeper of the King is the latest children's book collaboration between Scott Hahn, Emily Chapman, and illustrator Tricia Dugat. Through magnificent storytelling and thoughtful illustrations, St. Joseph comes to life, bearing a message of love, trust, and faithfulness. Unveiling the Old Testament figures who paved the way for St. Joseph, we follow the story of scripture to see the design of God's plan for Jesus's protector and earthly guide. Through his betrothal to Mary to the birth of Jesus and beyond, St. Joseph offered his heart to Our Lord. It is that same heart that he offers to each and every one of us. Young and old alike will be consoled, encouraged, and inspired by Joseph, Keeper of the King. Recommended for ages 4 and up. "Every Christian family needs the light and life of the Holy Family. This delightful little book brings that light and life with the turning of each page." Joseph Pearce, Editor of Poems Every Child Should Know "What an absolutely wonderful book to help children develop a deeper understanding of the importance of St. Joseph! Both the rhyming text and rich illustrations paint a vivid picture of Joseph's royal lineage and his role in sharing Jesus with the whole world." Katherine Bogner, Author of We Have a Pope "Scott Hahn and Emily Chapman have created a beautiful retelling of the life of St. Joseph. This book will inspire its young readers to know and love this great saint and to turn to him in confidence for his powerful intercession." Jason Evert, Founder of Chastity Project "In Joseph, Keeper of the King , the dynamic duo of Emily Chapman and Scott Hahn tell the story of St. Joseph's life in a way children will understand and be captivated by. At the end of the beautiful stanzas, I found myself tearing up in appreciation that St. Joseph is perpetually present to our own children as a protector and keeper and that he will draw them closer to his foster Son, Jesus." Nell O'Leary, Strategist and Mother of Five "Who forms the imagination of our children and grandchildren? We'd like to think we do, but we face stiff competition from the images on billboards and many kinds of screens. Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson have given us a competitive advantage in their books for kids. With their beautiful pictures, these books seize the imagination and don't let go. With words that rhyme and scan, they take residence in the memory and never leave. Lessons learned in the earliest years can last a lifetime if they're delivered in just the right way—as they are in the pages of Joseph, Keeper of the King ."
