The story behind the Project

This is one of the first exclusively Greek projects! Sofia Papaspyrou was writing an essay on Psalm 130 for the Greek Bible College, so the psalm had been on her mind for weeks. After completing her essay, she created a rhyming version of the psalm—simple enough for a child to understand. The book is beautifully illustrated by Christina Christidou, a talented artist who has managed to capture the transition from darkness to light, highlighting the emotional journey of the psalmist. Sporos once again made it possible for a project to be made, that if not for this platfrom, it would never see the light of day.
