Captivating story full of adventure and faith!

Revisado: 01-13-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This enthralling book is full of adventure, emotion, and faith! The book starts off running as the main character, Marcos, sees ships on the horizon, ships of invaders. Throughout the book, reliance on God and prayer is beautifully interweaved making it easy to address difficult topics such as grief, loss, and fear. When Marcos encounters a few monks, the wisdom and faith of the holy men is wonderfully conveyed through Christine Rogers’s writing to paint a picture of warmth and kindness. The traditions of the Church are seamlessly integrated throughout the book…ringing of the church bells to mark time in the town, receiving a blessing to enter the alter, recitation of Psalms in prayer, just to name a few! The book also recounts the mystery of the discovery of the icon of St. Phanurius. This mystery is artfully interpreted into the journey of the lost child (Marcos) being reunited with his family. The book even comes complete with a brief history if St. Phanurius, the Troparia and Kontakion for the Saint, and a recipe for Phaneropita! This story is bound to capture the minds of young readers!

The audiobook is narrated by the author. Rogers does a great job! The recording is clear and Rogers’s reading style is easy to understand and interesting for the listener. If road trips are your thing, this would make a GREAT option for family listening. We like to take our Godchildren camping and The Lost Saint is sure to become a “go-to.” (the audiobook has all the extras at the end of the story as well, including the recipe for Phaneropita!)
