Columba – Saint and Soldier: New book by David Luckman

Wednesday May 20th 2026

Columba – Saint and Soldier is David Luckman’s latest release in the Trail Blazers series of Christian Focus Publications.

This inspiring biography for children shows how God worked through Columba’s life to bring hope, peace, and faith to the people of Scotland.

From his childhood in Ireland to his adventures on the island of Iona, Columba’s story is really about what God can do with a willing heart. God gave Columba courage to cross stormy seas, wisdom to settle fierce arguments, and love to reach out to everyone – even his enemies.

Through Columba’s prayers and trust, God changed lives, healed hurts, and built a community where people could learn about Jesus Christ.

Copies of Columba – Saint and Soldier can be bought directly from Christian Focus Publications, in any Christian bookshop, or online stores including Amazon.
