Summary "In God's Garden: Stories of the Saints for Little Children" by Amy Steedman is a collection of children's stories that highlights the lives of saints, likely written during the early 20th century. The work seeks to impart moral values and inspiring tales to young readers, emphasizing the beauty and virtues of the saints as models for living a righteous life. Each story aims to engage children's imaginations with themes of bravery, charity, and faith, making the saints relatable and their lessons accessible. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of God's garden, where saints are likened to flowers in their heavenly beauty and purity. The opening narrative places special focus on Saint Ursula, the daughter of a good king, who is portrayed as wise, compassionate, and deeply desired by suitors. Despite this, Ursula longs to serve God and sets forth conditions for any potential marriage, reflecting her desire for spiritual devotion over earthly ties. As the story unfolds, included are her challenges, visions, and ultimately, her mission to live a life faithful to her beliefs, culminating in her pilgrimage alongside her companions, illustrating the trials and triumphs of a saint’s life, while inviting young readers to aspire to similar virtues.
