Elisabeths Gift Reader Reviews

"First, (the) book is extraordinary. I got it primarily to learn about a time in Crete that I have only heard in broad generalities. You do that very well and I can now better understand and visualize what actually happened at that time. I had no idea what you personally went through. Your descriptions make the moment come alive and they are emotional for the reader. It is an exceptional experience."
--Andrew Manatos
Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Carter Administration
President, Manatos and Manatos, Washington D.C.

Elisabeths Gift is a book that one does not leaf through it easily. Every page requires your attention. It wants to talk to you, to narrate an entire life
--Archbishop (late) of North and South American Iakovos

This book tells the story of his (John Psarouthakis) early life. It is the chronicle of an orphan raised by a wise and loving Aunt Elisabeth who recognized his great ability-and developed in him the qualities of disciple and character that turned nobility into accomplishment.
--Professor Paul E. Gray
President and Chairman (ret), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
