Who is this man riding into Jerusalem...
….on a lowly donkey, and being hailed as the King of Israel? Who knew the Uhu knew? Join an unlikely group of animal friends as they travel the hillsides of the Holy Land. With the help of The Great Uhu, a wise owl, they learn about Jesus and seek healing for one of their own all while witnessing firsthand the trial, death, resurrection and glorious ascension of the man they have come to know as King Jesus. Will he have a miracle for them too? Sandals of the King brings together both fantasy and nonfiction in an endearing and unforgettable portrayal of our Savior, his life and sacrifice, and ultimately his everlasting love.
