A thousand years before Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea, a child destined to foreshadow the Savior of mankind came into existence in that little town.  The child was David, slayer of Goliath and grew to be the king of Israel.

Level 2 books in the Footsteps of the Saints series are about 90-96 pages each and are written for about a fourth grade reading level or higher although some third graders are able to read them as well because of the large print size and double spacing between lines. This series has books about well-known saints, but it also includes stories about saints and other Catholics that you don't hear about very often.
