Thought provoking story

We listened to it all in one day. It is very well written and encourages ceaseless prayer.

A great story

A really interesting story that I found to be exciting and really relatable. I found development and general maturation in this story as a young man coming of age and I further highly recommend this book.

Wonderful Orthodox “Ghost” Story

Spyridon’s Shoes is a story that is sure to captivate young listeners. It will be of particular interest to those interested in Eastern Orthodoxy and/or Greek culture. Author and narrator Christine Rogers paints a beautiful picture of everyday life in Greece, complete with vivid descriptions of octopus hunting. Most children will love the gory bits (bashing a fish on the head, a bloody gash to the foot). What interested me the most was how seamlessly she incorporates theological themes (the Communion of Saints, the importance of prayer). This story will make a great addition to your home or church library.

What a marvelous surprise!

I purchased this book in the hope of sharing it with my kids. They haven't enjoyed listening to books on audio and this was disappointing as I love them. Imagine my surprise when they asked for this one by name after listening to it in the car. The book is an introduction to the ancient St. Spyridon and his young namesake. The story was beautifully told and holds its surprises right to the end. We loved it.

The story of a great Saint wrapped in a sweet, family-friendly adventure tale.
