The Real Story of Valentine | ||
| Valentine’s Day is celebrated every February 14, but why? Many who buy sentimental cards and candy hearts as expressions of love are unaware that there was a man named Valentine. Who was the man behind this holiday that has become known for Cupid, chocolate, roses and love notes saying, “Be My Valentine”? You can read his true story in Valentine: God’s Courageous Evangelist, a full-color illustrated book that will inspire your children through Valentine’s bold witness for Christ. Beneath the cards and candy lies the story of a courageous evangelist named Valentine, who defied an imperial order prohibiting marriage. The emperor needed all young men to enlist in Rome’s military, so he forbade them from getting married. When Valentine was caught performing weddings in secret, he was arrested and brought before the emperor, where he saw an opportunity to share the gospel. Receive the full-color storybook of Valentine: God’s Courageous Evangelist FREE with any gift (while supplies last).
