S.T. Martin is the author of “Journey to Christendom – The Freedom Dance” and “Seek First the Kingdom – The March of Hope,” which are the first two books in a trilogy describing his conversion to and spiritual journey through the Catholic Church with the Virgin Mary, St. Joan of Arc, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. "Testament for Love - The Pilgrim Dance" is the third volume in this series which lays out the vision of the Kingdom, or principle end, toward which the journey is leading. He calls the path he journeys with Sts. Joan and Thérèse to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Trail of the Dogmatic Creed. His fourth book "Little Flowers and Fiery Towers" tells this story of his journey on the trail of the Dogmatic Creed with St. Thérèse of Lisieux and St. Joan of Arc using poetry and poetic prose. Mr. Martin holds an undergraduate degree in Economics from Princeton University and a Master’s Degree in Public and Private Management from Yale University. He is married and the father of one child. Though raised a Methodist in the Bible Belt and surrounded with evangelicalism as a youth, Mr. Martin converted to the Catholic Church prior to his marriage in 1985. Touched deeply by the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and imbued with a filial love for Mary, he set out on a life-long spiritual journey to "seek first" Christ's Kingdom with Thérèse as his guide. Eventually led to confront his inner most being on that lonely, mystical hill of Calvary, he discovered through Mary's maternal guidance and Thérèse's sisterly care that Jesus had called another mighty saint to walk with him and to protect him through that dark and awful night of self-confrontation that leads us in Christ to true freedom. That saint, a spiritual sister to Thérèse, was Joan of Arc. The goal of all of S.T. Martin's work is straightforward: that others might find something that will inspire them to seek out the intercession, protection, guidance, and joyful friendship of these two sisters we have in Christ. "To Jesus through Mary in the friendship and sisterly care of Sts. Joan and Thérèse! Amen, so be it."
