One of the Best Books I’ve Ever Read

Revisado: 12-26-24

The overall depth and even simplicity that Ty writes with is, to me in this little book, probably one of his best contributions to understanding the story of the Bible.

Don’t mistake that he takes us into theological depths framing them within a narrative with a shallow meaning underlying the text.

This book is an invitation to think deeper into how Christ’s sonship means literally everything to our redemption and wellbeing.

I HIGHLY recommend this book.

That all being said, I cannot give a full 5 stars for the narration performance. His intonations aren’t consistent with the material. It’s also rather monotonous.

Therefore, while I highly recommend this book to someone considering a wonderful and engaging study of what God means when he speaks of Sonship about Jesus and his beloved children through all history, I hesitate to recommend this particular rendering. Buy the hard copy and enjoy it slowly.

Like I said, one of the best books I’ve ever READ, but definitely not listened to.

Great Story - But Audio Experience Takes Away

Revisado: 10-05-24

As most have shared, this story is wonderful and I am inspired while my faith is strengthened hearing it for the first time.

However…Audible, I am disappointed you allowed this to get past your audio standards. I understand having a musical score might add to the drama, as it does for a well d

Scary Stunning

Revisado: 08-26-24

The author’s objective, I think was twofold: to tell the tragic and convoluted story of First Platoon and second, to create awareness of the dizzying advances of surveillance and monitoring technology originated from the battlefield.

Fear. That is what drives this. And the more that emerges into our world that drives it, the more this technology will be relied upon.

This book is a glimpse into what is coming.

A Wonderful Book

Revisado: 03-22-24

I’ve read this book a few times. First time listening to the audio. Not the best narration I’ve heard. Comes across as robotic at times. But because this is a beloved EGW volume, I listened through.

Also, I think it’s time to do all her books on audio NOT with the KJV. No one talks like that anymore. It’s not sacred and can be difficult to understand while taking away from the overall narrative of the book. The Conflict Beautiful is a great example of updated language. Unfortunately they don’t have any audio editions.

A Great Book - Except for One Thing

Revisado: 02-27-24

Mr. Metaxas is a brilliant researcher, writer, and apologist. He represents the Christian faith well. I loved everything about this book, except one thing: he seems to ignore all of the wonderful evidence of a young earth, along with the flood mentioned in Genesis 7-9. Why he leans into the “science” and agrees that there were millions of years of death, destruction and predation before Adam and Eve, is beyond me. Mr. Metaxas, (and anyone reading this) I highly recommend you check out "Is Genesis History?" It is a great series of teachings on a young earth, along with superlative and emerging scientific evidence presented in a very understandable way about God‘s original Creation and especially the great flood.

History Alive!

Revisado: 10-09-23

I am published book narrator here on Audible (a very modest few titles) and a lover of history.

This book and Mark Bramhall’s performance is suburb! This is my favorite genre of audio book because I can feel like I am in the room and near the characters living out their own history.

In the case of this book, monumental history and characters’ stories still bearing out today.

This is highly recommended and I am about to dive into volume 2 as I make a drive across my beloved country.

I Will Listen to This More Than Once

Revisado: 06-19-23

I read the hard copy years again, and the audio is of course just as good.

I found myself anticipating what miracle or teaching will come next while listening.

I think this is one of the better books in prayer out there.

Great Book on a Great Man

Revisado: 06-13-23

I wanted to find a book that covered his life with enough detail so as to get to know him. And yet this one not only did that but kept up the pace within a reasonable amount of time.

I my humble opinion, not enough good could said about our 16th president. He saved this land from despotism and institutionalized hate.

Very highly recommend!

Tons of Stories and Quotes with Great Teachings Mixed In

Revisado: 05-14-23

In true John Maxwell style this book delivers great material while weaving perfect quotes, stories and illustrations along the way.

You might find yourself, as I did, ha I g to also pick up the hard copy just review and reread to get all the principles to sink in well.

Highly recommended!

The Audio Experience Is a Slog

Revisado: 02-14-23

I can only assume the hard copy of this book with all the accompanying color plates helps. One reason I listen to audio books is because of the portability. With so many references to the accompanying PDF, it makes it somewhat hard to keep up, not to mention so much genealogical letter referencing.

Ultimately I’m glad to know so much of human genealogical history CAN be traced to Noah and his sons. But this could have been done with a much better or parred down reading.

At the very end he also references eternal conscious torment so prevalent in evangelicalism. It’s anti-loving God in my (and the Bible’s) view.

The reading wasn’t horrible but intonation was off throughout.
