Before John was born, the angel Gabriel proclaimed that God had a special mission for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen John grew up, he preached that the Messiah was coming and people should get ready. At the Jordan River he baptized those who wished to find new life in Jesus. He came to be known as John the Baptist. One day, Jesus came to John and asked to be baptized too. The story of John teaches us how the sacrament of Baptism gives us the gifts of God's grace, life, and love. He is the patron (June 24) of the sacrament of Baptism and of converts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In the \u003cem\u003eSaints and Me \u003c\/em\u003e series, these beautifully illustrated early-reader books tell the real stories of saints that come to life and connect with today's children aged 4 to 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlbrecht, Jeff:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eJeff Albrecht has illustrated for Disney, Warner Bros., Marvel, DC Comics, and other entertainment companies.
