LOVE IT, Yet it's Poorly Organized for re-listens

Revisado: 01-22-25

Let us start with the positives: David Heath is an Amazingly Good Biblical Narrator. His voice is crisp, his tempo is perfect, and his intonation as he reads the Bible for the listener is perfect. You get a great sense of the meaning of what he is reading and voicing.

However....

Most books you listen to from start to finish. Organization and chapter headings truly are irrelevant. With over 200 titles in my collection, I've never had an issue with organization. But there is a huge difference when you're listening to the Bible.

I listened to the Bible twice in the past two years. The first time I started with the Gospel of John. It makes it easier to understand - at least for me - the Old Testament. I listened from John to Revelations, and then from Genesis to the end of John. This gave me a good grounding.

Then I purchased this version. I could not go to the Gospel of John directly. I had to hunt through numbered chapters that had no correlation to where I wanted to start. I gave up, and started in Genesis. While that's the first book of the Bible, it felt much different listening without the New Testament background.

My only suggestion to the producers is to take time, and create a chapter sequence that names the book and the chapter so that I can come back to this Audio version at any time, and listen to a book or a chapter of the Bible to find what I'm looking for.

Best in the Series

Revisado: 02-19-24

This is the most audacious episode in the battle to save the world. The addition of the cousins was inspired. It brings many new nuanced battles to an appropriate end, while introducing the battle for the endgame. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series, and I’m not a fantasy fan. I’m a sci-fi reader, but this is an amazingly well done series.

BEST BISHOP EVER you must listen to this story

Revisado: 01-09-24

This is a great story! It keeps you guessing all the way to a well developed ending.

However, the best surprise is Joe Bishop. He’s still the same guy we love, but he has moved well along his arc. What a great job of taking all the main characters through their journey, and bringing the listener along.

Best book of the series!

Luther’s own words

Revisado: 09-08-23

The first hour required focus, I bought the book and it odd stunning to see hotter well St. John brings the words to life.

If anyone wants to further their understanding of Luther, this is a must listen and read. The two appendices are very helpful to hear the personal voice of Luther as well.

This is going on my annual “must listen again” list.

Well worth the long wait

Revisado: 02-18-23

I'm a big fan of Craig Johnson and George Guidall's Longmire series. I've listened to every audio book and found each very enjoyable. Hell and Back is by far the best of the series. The innovative way of introducing native american culture into the series has been great; but this one takes it deeper and helps us understand who Walt Longmire is, and has been throughout the series.
I highly recommend this book, even if you've never read a Walt Longmire book before. It gives you a great idea of what you are in for. If you're a fan of the series, this brings back some excellent characters that you can view in a different light.

So Relatable!!!

Revisado: 12-16-22

Eric Mataxas makes this biography come alive, relevant to the historical times and to the present. He tells a compelling story of a significant historical figure keeping the human reality of flaws, and sidesteps we all take in life.

The summary at the end of the book brings it all into today, with a compelling argument that even flawed human beings are a gift to humanity and to the future in unexpected ways.

I could not stop listening, and found myself going back to re listen to segments that were too meaningful to gloss over.

Five stars because I could not give it more.

Pentandra come to her own

Creativity and Pacing

Revisado: 02-25-22

Adam Gaffen creates superb characters, strong plot, makes you laugh at times, and brings great creativity even though he builds upon a dream many of us had, or still have!

I don’t want to give away anything, but this is a must read, even if you skipped ahead. It stand alone, but builds nicely on the overall storyline.

Jane Wheatherstone is a gifted narrator that brings the story to life!

Excellent Storyline

Revisado: 08-02-21

Ken Lozito continues to be my favorite author, the likes of David Weber, BV Larson and the greatest of all, Isaac Asimov.

The concept behind Archeron is simple, the characters are multi dimensional and drive the story forward better than most authors have the ability to do.

The fate of the Galaxy is at stake and a small band of characters face the challenge head on, accepting their individual flaws, yet being stronger as a unit than each individual.

The challenges are massive, as all galactic challenges should be. Together they have a plan and the confidence that they’ll achieve because they work together and as individuals.

Can’t wait to read the rest of the story as it develops.

Strong plot, fast pace, great listen

Revisado: 07-12-21

First, let’s start with Charlotte North and an amazing performance. She bring these characters to life in a compelling way.

Second, Katee Robert created a thrilling ride through the believable characters, a tight plot, and a story that remains true to the genre and adds to the lore created about Boston.

As dangerous as these characters are, you still feel like you’d enjoy a drink and a heart to heart.

Most definitely worth the listen!
