Tells the story of the heroic boy in the movie For Greater Glory. Blessed Jose: Boy Cristero Martyr reveals the evil of the religious persecution in Mexico in the 1920's, and the heroic witness of faith given by 14 year old Jose. This is a partially fictitious embellishment of a true story.

While I really enjoyed the story of Blessed Joselito, I struggled with the syntax. I felt too often that I was being talked down to because the story was written so simplistically. However, the story was so well written that I easily found myself enthralled in the story and was able to ignore my problem with the phrase construction.
