Award-winning TV personality Raymond Arroyo brings the timeless story of the Good Thief to life in this breathtaking children's book. Majestically illustrated by Randy Gallegos, The Thief Who Stole Heaven transforms St. Luke's brief mention of St. Dismas into an electrifying and tender tale of mercy, redemption, and the transformative power of Christ's forgiveness. When the Holy Family encounters roadside thieves during Jesus's childhood, young Dismas shows compassion and lets them go—a moment of grace that echoes across decades to the foot of the Cross, where he recognizes the captivating Boy he once spared and receives the promise of Paradise.
