An excellent, eye opening read

I enjoyed hearing Rob Bell's enthusiasm as he told story after story from the Bible, interpreting each in depth and unlocking the power of the text.

Insightful and God-focused wisdom on sexuality

Revisado: 07-26-16

I thoroughly enjoyed this talk by Bp. Gene Robinson for it's fresh insights into sex as a vulnerability that exposes God's vulnerability in creating us to love God (or not). Robinson expands the notion of what is sexual beyond the genitals and provides principles by which one might judge for oneself whether one is being appropriately vulnerable, given the context of the relationship. Towards the end, in a question and answer session, Robinson encourages us to take our sexuality before God and pray for healing. Quite a spiritually-uplifting listen filled with warmth and grace.

Thought provoking, practical and hopeful

Revisado: 12-27-15

Narrated in a comforting, upbeat tone by the author, Lasting Impact thoroughly encouraged me to think creatively and practically about strategies for engaging people and how to implement those strategies. I loved the guidance on how to have important conversations as well as guidance on how to build a team capable of visioning and implementing change. The audio book has extras not in the printed versions, but I wish I had a hard copy so I can look up the sources and studies referenced in the text. Otherwise, this was a thoroughly uplifting and motivating listen.

A fun, satisfying listen

Revisado: 12-10-15

I have come to thoroughly enjoy Michael Thomas Ford's complex and intertwined story lines. I am glad to meet and get to know each of his richly drawn characters. Although the resolutions are somewhat "predictable" they are also satisfying and the journey towards their destinations are filled with interesting (and, frequently, steamy) twists and turns. I'm ready to listen to another one of his in this vein.

An enjoyable experience

Long and gangly I almost abandoned this story but I'm so glad I finished so I could experience the surprises towards the end.

Mostly intriguing and highly useful

You Lost Me is an insightful and deep look at why 18-29 year olds leave church. Must reading for anyone interested in the future of the Church in America.

I now feel equipped to begin

Revisado: 08-24-15

I loved listening to this audio book because of the deep, hard-earned wisdom it contained. I loved the building metaphor with its focus on foundations, tasks, processes and long-term visioning. Halfway through listening, I bought a softcover version of the book so I can review its many helpful bullet points and lists. As I begin a new phase of youth ministry I will be referring to this text as a resource for many years to come.

Wisdom on living life, beating depression

Revisado: 07-09-15

Although this is a book about vocation, Palmer makes a connection between depression and trying to be something other than one's true self. His take is much more nuanced than I can present here, and it is well worth a listen.
