Was really looking forward to this but it fell flat for me. Not sure if reading the physical pages would help.

Hearts Set Free is a powerful, moving tale of forgiveness. It isn’t the easiest topic to listen to, especially if you are dealing with a battle of forgiveness yourself, but that makes it even more important.
Jess Lederman does not come off as “preachy”, which I appreciated. Instead, he depicts real-life struggles that the listener can appreciate and find relatable. The picture he paints of God's forgiveness is one of warmth, love, and acceptance. I found it especially comforting during these times.
Hearts Set Free combines tales of historical fiction with more contemporary fiction. This combination works to provide “something for everyone” and to emphasize the everlasting affect of God's word. It's comforting to know that the challenges we face today are not unique to us. Each generation before has experienced similar trials.
The overarching message of Hearts Set Free is layered and complex, yet it is presented in a straightforward manner that will resonates long after the final chapter.
There is a warning for strong language, however. I didn't particularly mind, although I was taking a little bit back at first. This use of language would keep me from recommending Hearts Set Free to my grandmother, who might otherwise enjoy it. This is an audiobook I would recommend to those who enjoy inspirational, Christian fiction. I'm also thinking about recommending it to my Christian Reader's group. There's something to be found for everyone in Hearts Set Free and you never know who is in need of hearing this message.
Alison Maglaughlin has a clear, youthful voice. Her articulation and pacing were pleasant. Her tone was believable as young and old, when appropriate. The audio quality sounded a little bit "tinny" or echoing at times, but that did not diminish my enjoyment. I also appreciated the musical melodies between chapters that marked the beginning of a new story. I enjoyed this performance and would not hesitate to recommend Hearts Set Free as an audiobook.
This audiobook was provided by its author, Jess Lederman, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Thanks, Jess!
