El Cid: God's Own Champion

El Cid is an inspiring biography of the extraordinary Catholic knight chosen by God to save his nation from Islamic aggression. Known by the honorary title of El Cid, Rodrigo Diaz is a legendary hero who is directly relevant to modern times. Exiled by his king, insulted and slandered by those who should have supported him, he selflessly fought against seemingly insurmountable odds to save Christian Spain. Commanding the respect even of his enemies, upon his death a Muslim historian called him, "a miracle among the great miracles of the Almighty."

El Cid is an example of what can be achieved through devotion to duty, prayer, and trust in God.

This book is recommended for ages 12 and up.
