Books by Patricia St. John
(and her autobiography -- Patricia St. John Tells Her Own Story)

Patricia St. John is a popular Christian author whose books contain great spiritual depth. 
To encourage spiritual growth, a personal application section
is included in each of the 5th-8th grade guides

A number of years ago CNS was able to sell Patricia St. John’s autobiography --
An Ordinary Woman’s Extraordinary Faith. 
Unfortunately, the publishing company decided to allow the book to go out of print. 
Recently a different different company decided to reprint it,
so CNS is excited to report that it is again available for purchase under a new title:
Patricia St. John Tells Her Own Story..............................................................................$11.95

If you are a fan of Patricia St. John’s writing,
Patricia St. John Tells Her Own Story will be a great addition to your bookshelf!

Many of Patricia St. John’s books have gone out of print in their original form -- see below.
 
The classic story of Onesimus -- the slave from the book of Philemon -- is still in print. CNS plans to produce a mini-guide for this book, Twice Freed. The mini-guide is now available; see the following page: Mini-guides for 6th-9th graders.

Notes: 
1) The original versions of the Patricia St. John books are now out of print. 
2) The books currently being published by Moody are revised editions; the CNS guides are not compatible with them.

CNS has a limited supply of three titles of new books -- Rainbow Garden, Where the River Begins, and The Runaway -- so each of these titles are available for purchase from CNS only as a book/guide combination for $11.98.
