Praise for The Hermit, The Icon and The Emperor by Jim Forest

The Hermit, the Icon and the Emperor tell the story of how the prayers of a monk brought about the healing of a governor and a princess and how these events led the Emperor of Constantinople to give to the people of Cyprus his most precious possession: an icon of the Mother of God holding the child Christ that was painted by the Saint Luke, the Gospel author. This skillfully written and beautifully illustrated book introduces the reader, both child and adult, to one of the most treasured memories of the Cypriot people. Jim Forest, Author of Silent as a Stone and The Road to Emmaus
