JOAN of ARC MAID of MIRACLES: Virtue to Victory

by T C Richert, R L Montclair

Overview

A sweeping account of the works of the Great God of Heaven through Joan of Arc, Maid of France, is told here as never before by those who lived in her day and who knew her and fought alongside her. In the first pages of this volume (book one of a three part series) catastrophic devastations that rock all of Europe are carefully outlined, bringing the kingdom of France to its knees and nearly accomplishing the nation’s entire destruction. Just in time, the holy errand of Joan of Arc begins when she is first visited by heavenly personages Who mentor her for several years before she is sent to announce her mission to save the nation of France. Miracles ensue, confirming the heavenly edict that France will not be vanquished, as Joan rises from obscurity, fulfilling every prophecy concerning the coming of a saving Maid, who will redeem the country. She overcomes much adversity and leads the royal army to her first victory, breaking the English siege of Orléans and preventing the last great hold in France from falling to the enemy. With emphasis on the historical miracles manifested by the Lord of All throughout Joan’s quest, this account of her part in His-story—which has been authored by miraculous means in the actual telling—may be the most accurate ever to be presented to the world!

About the Author

T.C. Richert’s discovery of Joan of Arc and France materialized at a young age. The French language she first heard spoken by a teacher in her elementary classroom felt very familiar. Her knowledge grew of France when her relatives visited there and shared stories and pictures of the beautiful country which enthralled and inspired her. She also found that her paternal ancestry had immigrated from Lorraine (the region where Joan of Arc was born) in the 1840’s. T.C. Richert eventually became a true Francophile, permeating her college studies with these interests and completing a church service mission to France as an ambassador for Christ. A remarkable thing about the time she spent in France was that she mostly worked in Troyes and Orleans, places rich in the history of Joan of Arc–which were not of her own choosing. The statue of Joan of Arc in Orleans was located just outside her flat, and passing by the French heroine each day gave her courage and inspiration. Fast forward many years following a family and a teaching career, T.C. felt driven to research and tell Joan’s story miracle to miracle, much the same as she had seen in her own life. It seemed God brought R.L., a friend of many years, onto the scene with the skills that perfectly dove-tailed with her own, to compile this marvelous historical account of the Maid of France and her companions at arms. A love of Jehanne and her people who sacrificed with her and followed their own individual missions now fills the hearts of both authors and goes out to fill the world as well.

First setting foot in France as a teenager, R.L. Montclair’s first experience of the country gave her a curiously negative perception. It was almost as if some force was determined to part her from anything having to do with France forever. Since that time, she noticed that gentle proddings to foster an interest in French culture kept littering her path. Hearing continually of the wonders of La France, she set out to either prove the world wrong, or change her own perception. While exploring family history she found her ancestors were from Provence, France, and she was drawn to the French language. Later, as a wife and mother, two of her four children were born on the same date: May 30, the date of the martyrdom of Jehanne d’Arc. In a life-changing journey, R.L. Montclair came to co-write this book and to treasure the rich history and wonderful culture of France. In the end, she can simply say with Jehanne–and the Reverend Ford–“We looked for the good in them, and we found it, didn’t we?” (quote from the movie, Pollyanna, adapted from the book, Pollyanna, by Eleanor H. Porter)
