De: William J. Bennett

Narrado por: William J. Bennett

If you've ever been asked, "Who is Saint Nicholas?"...If you've ever wondered if he is just a commercial invention...If you've ever thought there is no such person...You may be surprised to know the true Saint Nicholas. You'll never again think of Santa Claus in quite the same way. Here is a touching rendition of the historical origins of our modern-day Santa by an in-demand speaker reacquaints us with the true meaning of Christmas.©2009 William J.

Very enjoyable

Always great to learn about the patron saint of the Byzantine Catholic Church. His works on Earth were great and God guided him very well. This book explains that well

Wonderful, just wonderful!

A beautiful story for everyone about an amazing Saint and the spirit of christmas. The author reading also has such a nice voice. I loved every minute!

very enlightening!

enjoyable. learned so much on the real saint and the American version we all now as Santa.

Loved It

A wonderful short story read beautifully by Bill Bennett. The perfect length and the book I will not soon forget.

Do you know EVERYTHING about Ol' St. Nick?

Where does The True Saint Nicholas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Because it is such a short story it ranks in the middle mainly because Dr. Bennett is not a professional reader. His voice can sound very droning. The length and the topic allows him to sound more upbeat but there are points where you can tell he needed to take a break.

Have you listened to any of William J. Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Having listened to "America's Last Best Hope" (sic) series Dr. Bennett seems more upbeat while reading this publication. The writing is aimed to the adolescent listener although all ages will enjoy it. There are likely some facts of the Santa Clause character.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This story made me smile. It is a new tradition to play this on Christmas Eve.

Santa as you never knew him.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it goes into who St.Nicholas really was. It brings up stories I have never heard about him. It also gets into what happened after his death for miracles that are associated with him.

left me with hope

after being angry at crass material commercial Christmas. the story of this remarkable man brings me hope in mankind.
