Treasures and Tales

St. Athanasius wrote books that shine with Jesus' teachings, and they’re still super famous! In his early 20s he wrote On the Incarnation, explaining why Jesus being God and Man is the best news ever—it’s like a guidebook for faith. Then, hiding in the desert, he wrote The Life of St. Anthony, making his monk friend a star and inspiring tons of people to love God simply. In 367 AD, he listed the 27 New Testament books we use today, like a treasure map for the Bible.

Some say his words were so loved, people wanted them everywhere, even on clothes! Ethiopian monks still read his stuff to fight lies, and Copts say it’s like he’s teaching us from heaven. For kids, these books are like superhero stories that make you smarter about Jesus.
