Marvelous

Revisado: 07-17-24

The narrator was perfect! This was a gripping story. I could not stop listening. So much of Linda's words, phrases and prayers are fitting and very relevant. I learned to call slavery what it is, a mean ole devil, snake! The Appendix was very insightful and made listening to this all the more meaningful!

Remarkable. Transparent. Hope giving.

Revisado: 05-11-24

Wow. I felt as though I was in this long conversation with Jun, where he told vulnerable and personal stories that helped give me perspective on how I handle or not handle my grief. I appreciate the title advisement. I was able to ask myself if I was ready for this "next chapter", pun intended. I felt Jun showed the utmost respect for our boundaries by adding this in the book. That being said, I had to skip the chapter-after starting it- that dove into racism. My body scan told me I wasn't ready yet. I hope to go back and listen over the summer. I felt as though the book ended so fast. I was definitely wanting to hear more. So let's get part two going Jun! There's one thing I have learned in experiencing trauma: we have to keep talking about it, keep telling others. I believe this is just one take away with this book, a loose paraphrasing here, "It's OK to take your loved one with you. You do this by talking about them, remembering them in real life, not just in your head. You do not get over them. Take your time. It's a process." Oh yeah, and part of the reality is, we are grieving "misopportunities" or "future opportunities with that loved one".

ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY SECOND

Revisado: 02-21-24

Mrs Johnson writes a compelling historical fiction, a "no holds barred" conviction. Her creativity mixed with truths from our history is astounding. I live outside of Richmond and I am glad that the stories of the Lumpkin Slave Jail has not been lost over looked. I salute you, ma'am.

Encouraging, relatable, and affirming

Revisado: 04-14-23

This was an easy read or listen to complex matters of living for Jesus! Modern-day example, in ink, of what it means to live for Jesus and not play it safe!
My husband said he is going to read it again 🫨. We listened to the book on a drive to GA with the whole family. We paused to share relatable experiences my husband and I had with our children based on what KB was sharing.
Great job!

Best Book, besides the Living Word, of 2021

Revisado: 09-07-21

The depth of this book and it's definition of what it means to be holy is one I have not read in my generation or before since that of J. C. Ryle, Jerry Bridges, and Andrew Murray. I appreciate Jackie for taking the time to explain first Who our holiness comes from, how it is obtained and how it manifests in everyday life of the believer, distinguishing them from the posers. Jackie's ability to take the reader/listener from a light walk in the park into the deep paths of righteous living was incredible! A great book is great when it is written by a Christian author, who tells the Gospel story over and over. I do not believe anyone else could have read this other than Mrs. Perry. Phenomenal. I felt it all. The Hallelujahs were perfectly placed and authentic. I will definitely listen again and have my teenage children read it as well.

Holiness is a MUST READ

Revisado: 05-09-17

This is by far one the best books written. Mr. Ryle's observations of the Christian and knowledge of the Word is edifying and challenging. This book is full if God's Truth and can easily be listened to over and over. Ralph did an amazing job reading!

Phenomenal

Revisado: 02-21-17

I have a lump in my throat as this book ends. I did not want it to end. My husband and I Church Planters in an unlikely state. Rosaria has taught, affirmed, confirmed, encouraged and admonished many of my ideals, thoughts and convictions. I am grateful for the Lord's faithfulness to her and having her share her X-rated conversion story.
I will definitely listen to this again. Every believer should listen or purchase this book!
