St Patrick did not drive the snakes out of Ireland (the island had no snakes), nor did he engage in epic battles of supernatural power with Irish druids. But the facts revealed in this eminently readable biography are no less astonishing than the myths that surround him. Born in Britain in the late fourth century, Patrick was raised as a Roman citizen and a Christian nobleman, Just before his sixteenth birthday, he was captured by Irish pirates and enslaved. He spent six years tending sheep in Ireland, escaped and returned home to his astonished parents. Soon afterward, he announced that God wanted him to become a priest and convert the Irish to Christianity. Patrick spent the rest of his life in Ireland, leaving behind two remarkable letters that reveal more about him than we know about almost any contemporary figure. Philip Freeman brilliantly reconstructs daily life in the British Isles during the last days of the Roman Empire, putting Patrick's achievements in context with the beliefs of the day. The Patrick who emerges is even more extraordinary than the patron saint of legend - a passionate, courageous and very human figure who exerted an incalculable impact on the course of Irish history.

Written in Latin in his later years, they are an intimate and revealing look into the life and world of a man who was among the first to spread the Gospel to a land beyond the Roman Empire. Both Patrick's Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus and his Confession detail his many admitted failings and insecurities but also his passionate faith in God and his mission to the Irish. These letters are presented in this volume with both the Latin originals and translation along with other key texts of early Patrician literature, including Muirchu's Life of St. Patrick, Tírechán's Journey of St. Patrick, The First Synod of St. Patrick, The Hymn of St. Secundinus, and the Old Irish St. Patrick's Breastplate.

He was born in Britain in the late 4th century but was kidnapped by pirates at age 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. For six years, he worked as a shepherd, enduring hardship and loneliness. During this time, he turned to prayer and developed a deep trust in God. One night, Patrick had a dream from God, telling him to escape. He found a way back home, but after becoming a priest, he felt called to return to Ireland--not as a slave, but as a missionary to bring the Irish people to Christ. He spent the rest of his life preaching the Gospel, baptizing thousands, and building churches. He even used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity--one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Patrick's importance goes beyond Ireland. He teaches us about faith, forgiveness, and courage. He could have hated those who enslaved him, but instead, he brought them God's love. His life reminds us to trust in God's plan, pray always, and share our faith. Today, he is honored as the patron saint of Ireland, and his legacy continues to inspire people all over the world.
