Summary: Dr. Adam English has done an outstanding job of bringing to life the story of St. Nicholas of Myra.(http://www.discerninghearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Adam-English.jpg)  Going deep into the historical documents, he travails between the myths and the reality of this extraordinary bishop who would become an iconic saint.  I love this kind of read...steeped in rich history and filled with an enthusiastic joy for the adventure of discovery. (http://www.discerninghearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Saint-Who-Would-Be-Sant.jpg) The book can be found here (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1602586349/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=disceheart-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1602586349&adid=00RR7Z1676RPJZY2ZMD0) "Adam English convinces us that the St. Nicholas we know is a cultural icon, as much Coca-Cola as Christian saint. But his real gift is in resurrecting through his painstaking historical detective work a flesh and blood St. Nicholas, whose courage and Christian generosity are worthy of emulation." --Greg Garrett, author of One Fine Potion "A sensitive, erudite, and accessibly written introduction to the life and times of St. Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop of Myra in what is now Turkey. Having devoted his life to serving Jesus Christ, the real St. Nicholas invites us to a truer and more joyful celebration of Christmas." --Matthew Levering, Professor of Theology, University of Dayton
