A ten-year-old boy says yes to the Blessed Virgin and accepts the crowns of purity and martyrdom. In this story of courage and faith, Franciscan Father Maximilian Kolbe forms an army for Mary, using the printing press to spread the Gospel and combat evil. Arrested by the Nazis, Maximilian gives up his life to save a fellow prisoner--a husband and father who had been condemned to die in a starvation bunker--at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
