excellent information on meditative prayer

Revisado: 06-22-17

What made the experience of listening to Sanctuary of the Soul the most enjoyable?

the narrator - I thought from the enthusiasm and inflection that the author was narrating!

I just loved how he read it and the advice/information on how to meditate and how we should seek God not the experience of God every time(can't remember exactly how he phrased it)

What does David Cochran Heath bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

like I said, I thought the author was narrating this he was that good

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

talking about the personal experiences in church when the Spirit moved

I really enjoyed this - enough that I started listening to parts of it again where I had bookmarks. I would listen to this one again

good info on spirituality

Revisado: 06-22-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything to be better than the print version?

I prefer print to audio but parts of this I really enjoyed hearing as well especially with the author himself doing the reading

What did you like best about this story?

the author reading it and the information on how to read a passage of scripture and esp the descriptions of people and where they are in the spiritual journey(near the beginning)

Have you listened to any of James Martin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no but I bought some more to listen to later

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

no extreme reaction - my favorite was probably the first half- kinda deep after t hat and I was a little' full' of information I needed to process

Any additional comments?

lot of information in this book- I think I'd have done better if I'd listened to a few chapters and put into practice what I learned then gone back and done another chapter or 2 and spread this out instead of listening to so much back to back

old school romance

Revisado: 06-22-17

Where does The Right Path rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

narrator is terrible with the men's accents which is why I'm rating the performance so low. They're Greek but don't sound good at all.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Morgan- she's a strong, smart woman (speaks 5 languages fluently)

What didn’t you like about Gayle Hendrix’s performance?

I hated the men's voices and how abrupt they were though not being Greek maybe that's how the men sound? The reading speed is nice and the women's voices are ok.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Crime on the coast of Greece

Any additional comments?

I bought this audiobook because the book itself is one of my old favorites from a long time ago. The hero is very macho take-charge which was common back in the day

good book about offense

Revisado: 06-22-17

Would you listen to Bait of Satan again? Why?

maybe - I enjoyed listening while driving but have other good audiobooks lined up. If I hadn't liked it I wouldn't have continued with it so not listening to it again wouldn't be for any negative reason.

What other book might you compare Bait of Satan to and why?

not sure - but best I can remember this guy is following spiritual authority if you're familiar with that- not letting offense get in and waiting on God to reveal the faults of someone 'over' you.

Which character – as performed by John Bevere – was your favorite?

I don't recall any characters

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes I think I'd have liked to listen to it in one sitting and may try that another time

Any additional comments?

overall I liked this book- not sure how practical/useful it was for me since I'm not in leadership but he had some good points about taking offense/unforgiveness/authority.

wow

Revisado: 06-22-17

What did you love best about The Case for Grace?

the stories and that they were author narrated

Who was your favorite character and why?

hard to pick just one story and I don't remember their names but the Korean woman who was left alone from around age 5 and almost dead so many times really touched me

Which scene was your favorite?

the one with the Korean girl

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

gut wrenching

some parts meh other parts make it worth getting

Revisado: 04-10-17

Would you consider the audio edition of What's So Amazing About Grace? to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version but I found myself wishing I could skim (print would probably be better) and other parts the inflection and hearing it made it where I actually went back several times to listen to particular points again. a lot of this is with stories and I prefer hearing stories - when it comes to taking notes I prefer a book

What was one of the most memorable moments of What's So Amazing About Grace??

talking about cheap grace- about to sin and knowing it is a sin but wanting to know if God would forgive and Yancey telling them God will forgive but you may not even want the forgiveness when you make that choice. really struck home with me abusing God's grace

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I thought the narrator's voice was a bit boring but I got used to it- he read slowly and sometimes seemed to speed up so I had to go back to listen again. reading in a book I would have stopped to think but didtn' have the pause button handy

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

stop go stop go

Any additional comments?

I found this book waxed a little political esp about the clintons being mistreated by christians. I felt it took on a liberal political bent that turned me off to the point I stopped then later went back to listen to part of it again so as not to leave off everything he was saying. also one earlier chapter on forgiveness mentioned a horrible scene from holocaust time and unforgiveness. I didnt' like that image in my head

Loved listening to this

Would you listen to Singing the Psalms again? Why?

yes - I found the chants/singing soothing

Who was your favorite character and why?

no characters

Which character – as performed by Cynthia Bourgeault – was your favorite?

no characters

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed singing along with her

Any additional comments?

I agree with another reviewer in that a pdf download of the Psalms they were singing would have made this so much better. She mentions several times 'your book' but there's no book. a lot was repetitious so I could pick up the words but would have been nice to have had a book

series of talks

Revisado: 06-16-16

What made the experience of listening to Letting Go the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed hearing the author's voice

What was one of the most memorable moments of Letting Go?

nothing stands out as particularly memorable- all was pretty deep thinking for me

Have you listened to any of Richard Rohr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no - this is my first but I bought most of his. I did start a 2nd one of his that he narrates but reads instead of being a speech like this one- in this one he ends sentences with 'huh' or a sound like that quite a bit. when reading an actual book he doesn't seem to do this.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

deep thinking

Any additional comments?

my main aggravation with this was the chaptering- there were about 9 'talk's but the chaptering didn't reflect the beginning/end of each - chapter 1 might have 5 min of the 2nd talk and the the 2nd talk would end and the 3rd talk start with 10 min- seems they could have divided it one chapter per topic.

What did you love best about The Pursuit of God?

I enjoyed the topic and shorter chapters (about 20-30 min per section) and the prayers at the end

Who was your favorite character and why?

there were no characters

What does Mark Moseley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I had to slow down to 0.9 x to follow - seemed a bit fast for the subject matter. he does inflect and emphasize certain sections

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd been able to sit undisturbed to listen all at once instead of listening while driving and working

Any additional comments?

I did have to slow this one to 0.9x speed
