Esta colección une armoniosamente la Biblia y la vida cotidiana, libros siempre abiertos en los que el Señor nos comunica su palabra viva y eficaz. A través de una metodología singular, la serie conduce al lector a profundizar en el texto bíblico leído en el seno de la comunidad eclesial. Ayuda a discernir la voz perenne y actual de Dios en las Escrituras, y con la misma destreza hace la conexión necesaria del Evangelio con la vida diaria, personal y social.

Synopsis
What do heroes do?
Do they fight monsters? Sometimes, but they also hold the hands of people who are sick and lonely. They build schools. They study the planets. They forgive those who have harmed them. Heroes are people who look at the world around them, see what needs to be done, and through the grace of God find the strength to help others.
In the thirty-six stories in Loyola Kids Book of Heroes, you’ll meet a Catholic nun who stood up to the most infamous outlaw in the Old West. You’ll learn how entire villages of men and women devoted their lives to building great cathedrals to show their love and respect for God. You’ll learn about John the Baptist, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Charlemagne, St. Albert the Great, Dorothy Day, St. Patrick, and many others. Most of all, you’ll learn that with God’s help anyone can be a hero and make the world a better place.
