What Others Are Saying About MAID OF HEAVEN:

"Expertly Composed and Highly Recommended"
          Midwest Book Review

"I've read many books about France's Patron Saint, Joan of Arc, but never seen one like Maid of Heaven. . .Mr. Kennedy does an amazing job of putting such a lyrical story into capitivating lyrical form."
          Chris Snidow - Author, musician and leader of five Joan of Arc pilgrimages in France.

"An epic flash back that watered my eyes. . .I did not expect this breathtaking story."
          Sergio Vargas - San Cristobal Antiques Fine Art

Review by Virginia Lindsley Frohlick
Founder of The Saint Joan of Arc Center

Upon receiving this book, so kindly given to me by the author, I quickly devoured it in one sitting.
I was impressed by his clever English prose that was able to combine actual historical fact and the words spoken by Joan of Arc herself.
The poet created this fine work, his labor of love; to honor the name and memory of God's warrior angel who came to save her people from England's crushing hand.
What amazes me, after some 50 years of devotion to our mutual friend Saint Joan, is that we, all of us who honor and love her, continue to speak about this servant of God!
This audacious soul, who some 595 years ago said "YES" to God's plan for her life and in so doing saved her people but more importantly for us her CHILDREN, she has inspired countless men and women to seek God's will for their own life as well.
I cannot think of a better way to end this review than to quote Mr. Kennedy's last stanza of his epic poem:
Thank you, dear maid, for teaching me
God's truths that can often be so difficult to see.
You showed through your life how to serve
Him best, in a World so full of treachery.
For all of this and all that you still are,
I will love you forever and for all eternity.

Review by Midwest Book Review

Everyone knows of the general legend of Joan of Arc - a young and illiterate girl hears voices from God and leads France against the invading English. "Maid of Heaven: The Story of Saint Joan of Arc", however, tells the complete and thorough story of a sixteen year old girl who rose up to stand against insurmountable odds. Nonfiction, but written and reads like fiction, "Maid of Heaven: The Story of Saint Joan of Arc" is expertly composed and highly recommended to world history shelves and for anyone who wants a complete understanding of this enigmatic teenage girl who was anything but.
