Richard Rohr Mens Retreat

Revisado: 12-08-23

Richard was truly present in this audiobook. He spoke to men, as a man, not as someone removed, not as someone above.
Truly honest, not giving the company line at all times. I saw another review where the reviewer didn’t like that.
I am an Anglican, used to hearing a bit of a different take to that of the safe Church people so what Richard says, appeals to me.

Glucose Revolution

Revisado: 03-22-23

This is the second time I have listened to this audiobook. I also have the hard copy of this book.

I particularly like that Jessie made a special book for Australia, because when she talks about fasting blood sugar levels they are the numbers I know, as between 4 and 8, not the numbers in the US, which might be 88, 100 etc.

I loved that she said Herbal, not Urbal, she gave weights in kilograms not in pounds. That’s easy enough to calculate, but the overseas numbers for blood sugar are not so easy. It’s great she put this bit of effort in.

The Moses Code Frequency Meditation

Revisado: 01-08-23

In order to decide whether to purchase an audiobook, I first listen to the sample. That generally gives me an idea what the book will be like.

This audiobook gave me a good feeling listening to the sample, so based on that feeling I decided to buy it.

I also often read the reviews, which were generally very negative, so I went by my feelings, which didn’t let me down.

It would have been good if the songs were separated and called chapters with song names. Some Christian songs, what did the other reviewers expect?

A very good audiobook 😀

Steal the Dragon

Revisado: 12-24-22

Before listening to this book, I read the previous negative review, and while listening at first, tried to hear what the previous reviewer was saying. I did not hear any contrived sultry emphasis, only the reader’s natural reading voice.

If this reader’s style was not to his liking, that is his concern, and I found her soft speaking voice perfectly acceptable.

I found the story excellent as all Patricia Briggs stories are.

Wild Sign

Revisado: 12-02-22

I am not surprised a new reader would give Bran an accent. After all the Mercy books and so far the Anna and Charles books, Bran sounds one way and now he sounds different.

So there is a change after nearly 20 or so books. Maybe I just don’t like changes.

Hearts Blood

Revisado: 05-04-22

I was a bit reluctant at first due to the title, it seemed like something I had read of hers before.

Another of her books had them building a house with hearts wood, and one of her Blackthorn and Grim books talked about true hearts tears.

Very different and unique. A true pleasure to listen to

A song of Flight

Revisado: 03-30-22

Judith Marillier writes books that have aspects of folklore, far away from the troubles of today.

When going about my normal life, I can reflect on her characters and be part of a different reality.

How not to diet

Revisado: 02-05-22

My first thought when listening to the start of this book was that Michael was either drunk or on something. I kept listening because the information was very good.

After a while his style becomes more normal, and the scope and importance of the information are much more important than his style of reading. He has researched more than any others in this field.

I know Dean Ornish and T Colin Campbell have done their own research, but Michael Greger has read so many studies and peer reviewed research that I think he has the best overall view of the topic.

He has provided a hugely comprehensive document, that for me very much outweigh his speaking style..I also have the hard copy book which is 690 pages. I find it much easier to listen to this audiobook than it is to read the book.

I gave this audiobook 5 stars on each category because I feel his information will change my life, the way I eat, and hopefully add a bit more health to my years.

The China Study

Revisado: 01-19-22

I haven’t ever had an audiobook that I have listened to over and over straight away.

I have the physical book, and I have it on iBooks. There is just so much information in this book.

To say this book changed my life is a pretty fair statement.

I live close enough to the beach to walk along the beach path most mornings.

I have access to fresh fruit and vegetables through many shops.

I have heard before that there are areas where they are not available. We have many fast food options and the food very cheap.

I guess in times gone bye, people would read the Bible over and over like this book.

The Joy of Movement

Revisado: 12-30-21

I found the experience of listening to this audiobook much more than I expected. I have listened to it several times, each time picking up new things, maybe different meanings.

I expect I will listen to it many more times. I had been used to having less strength, less endurance as I got older. To reverse that feeling of weakness by exercising was not unique to this time, but to understand just why it is pleasurable has led me to walk more, especially in nature, and when I can’t do that, to use my exercise bike to build strength.
