St Macrina the Elder,
Grandmother of Saints.

By Bev Cooke, with illustrations by Bonnie Gillis.
The road to sainthood takes a lifetime to travel... Late in the fourth century, Christians are labeled enemeies of the Roman Empire-hounded, arrested, trotured, and excuted. Macrina and her husband Basil, once-wealthy Christians, flee with their small son to the mountainous forests south of the Black Sea. There, Macrina embarks on a seven-year jurney of enexpected tests and tials that will take her through a harsh and hungry wilderness pilgrimage, only to plunge her into poverty and danger on the streets of Neocaesarea. So begins Macrina\'s adventure in faith, as she undertakes the process of becoming one of the most influential women in sacred history, the mother and grandmother of St. Basil the Great, St Gregory of Nyssa, and St Macrina the Younger.
