Bernadette, the one nobody expected (in French)
"I'm very happy, through this book, to be able to help young people (and perhaps those not so young) to rediscover the magnificent figure of Bernadette! She has a lot to pass on about the meaning of freedom in times of trial, about simplicity in truth, about discerning a vocation, about prayer!" Don Maxence Bertrand

"In this first biography of Bernadette Soubirous, aimed at secondary school pupils, Don Maxence Bertrand paints a portrait of the famous young girl from Lourdes. He reveals her strong, determined character, far removed from the traditional image of the discreet, submissive young girl. In tracing Bernadette's journey from childhood to her life in seclusion at the convent in Nevers, Don Maxence Bertrand shows how, despite life's difficulties such as social deprivation and health problems, Bernadette was able to make free choices. An encouraging book for young people, which combines biographical aspects, teachings and suggestions for action... so that readers, inspired by the figure of Bernadette, learn to build their lives in trust in God". editions first part
Throughout the book, pictograms guide the reader's reading and meditation.
Bernadette's face will appear when we talk about the different stages in the life of the young visionary, who we will also discover through these words, either through extracts from her letters or her words as reported by witnesses.
The "Bible" icon at the end of each chapter introduces a biblical extract accompanied by a teaching.
The image of the angel introduces a passage showing how your guardian angel helps you to grow in God's love.
The sheep, which symbolises all of us as sheep following Jesus, introduces concrete ways to make your faith more alive and suggestions to guide your daily life with God and others.
At the end of each chapter, you'll find a drawing of hands clasped together, followed by a short prayer.
