A great story, dripped in Orthodoxy

Not just for children, and not just for Orthodox either. What an amazing, joyful, emotional story.

The Lost is found.

A well written and well told story about a favorite saint. Christine did a great job in the narration. This should not be perceived as only a children’s book. It has a very timely message for all adults as well as an exciting tale for young people.

A Great Read. A Profound Lesson

Disclaimer! Don’t listen to this book while driving, crying can make driving hazardous!! 😊
I absolutely loved this story. Although it a story meant for 10-14 years old, I was hooked. I was moved to tears seeing Marco’s struggle with guilt and fear, as well as his joy and peace when finding forgiveness and acceptance. Marco a fictional 11 year old struggles with feelings of guilt, anger, and fear of rejection from God and his family. He must face all this when he is separated from his family during a siege and is traveling with some monks seeking his family and refuge. He waivers between the desire to be reunited and fear of being rejected. The monks who travel along with him set an example for Marco, we see their fears and struggles as humans yet their trust in their Loving Father who guides and protects His children. I loved how the author tied the finding the mysterious icon of St Phanourios.
The monks tell Marco at one point
“Your storm is great,
But our God is greater”
Is a much needed reminder for young and old, we need to lean on God’s strength when our strength fails us.
I highly recommend this profound story for all readers.

Captivating story full of adventure and faith!

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!)
