Interesting to hear his conversion story

Revisado: 10-27-24

I quite enjoyed this audiobook and find it incredibly interesting to hear people’s story, their life experiences that brought them to or back to the Catholic Church. The book held my interest and was amusing at times and easily understandable.

So incredibly interesting

Revisado: 08-21-24

I actually started this audiobook while also watching his video presentations on this book and I’m glad I bought this, as it goes deep into the subjects that the videos also touch on. Sometimes you can end up with verbatim in both the video and audiobooks, but I didn’t find that in this case. The subject matter Wallace shares, along with the insight he gained along his path as a detective, I found his stories to be entirely enthralling. He’s very wise, yet conveys everything in such a relatable way, so there is nothing pretentious at all about him and I appreciate even more that he narrated the audiobook himself. More like a conversation than a robotic read, which I prefer in nonfiction. Each chapter is thought provoking and will leave you with wisdom to take to heart. I haven’t listened to his other audiobooks yet, but bought another of his titles which he also narrates, so I look forward to that as well. All in all, I highly recommend this audiobook not only for Christian insight, but also for life insight. Well done.

Nothing short of Amazing

Revisado: 08-21-24

I’m a cradle Catholic but stopped going around 13 years of age. I’ve been on a long journey finding my way back. Trent’s words in this book spoke to my soul and cleared up things I tried to ask as a child but was dismissed by our Catechists. I wish I had been told these things back then and I would never have left. But a thing to point out to those who catechize children, don’t dismiss their questions and don’t make them feel bad for asking them or assuming that because they are young that they don’t ponder endlessly about such things. I’ve been on the fence for a couple of years, but books such as these have opened my eyes and for that it was a blessing to listen to. In addition, I’m glad he read the book himself as his passion for the subject matter comes through.

Thought Provoking, Relevant, and Personable

Revisado: 01-31-23

When I first read the premise of the book, I was intrigued as I’m battling not taking issues personally and feeling “self-righteous” anger with a loved one who is in a battle with alcoholism. I am a person who doesn’t want to stay angry nor wants to sin in my anger by lashing back when I’ve been hurt. Brant made me think hard about all the instances in my life where anger led me to impulsive retribution during whirlwinds of emotion. I honestly thought that being unoffendable sound more like a pipe dream, but this book puts it into perspective and I think every Christian would benefit from hearing it. The fact that Brant narrates more like he’s talking direct to you, is absolutely a gem, because it really gets his points across and does it in a way that you feel like you’re talking with a wise friend. His narration is top notch and I hope he will always narrate his own books. I was so refreshingly surprised by how quickly I enjoyed this book that I bought his others in Audible as well. I truly recommend this to all Christians or anyone who can sometimes let anger get the best of them, even if the anger felt warranted. This is going on my favorites audiobooks list!

So incredibly profound

Revisado: 05-26-21

I can barely put into words how much this audiobook has impacted me. I’m sitting here just speechless really. I decided to also buy the physical book so I can highlight the parts I want to cement into my mind. So many strangely coincidental moments in the book for me, especially after I had become widowed at 27 and how I’ve lived my life since then, tucked away and avoiding adding anyone else into “my circle” for fear of one day losing them too. I grew up in Florida and then lived in Denver, so I could also relate to those small details. The stories were incredibly real, honest, and filled with vulnerability and heart... I’m thankful that they shared them. I also believe that the narrator of the audiobook was absolutely a perfect match and was a pleasure to listen to. I would recommend this audiobook to any Christian, heck to any human for that matter.

He makes the message crystal clear.

Revisado: 02-19-21

I initially was reluctant to buy this audiobook and also a bit “nervous” to hear the message, but Craig’s warmth comes through. He shares his vulnerability when it comes to prayer and that really helped me feel that I’m not alone and it’s natural to initially feel reluctant to truly pray these dangerous prayers. I thought this would be one that I may only listen to once, but after I’ve come to the end, I realize that it’s keeper and adding it to my essential stack. Honestly, it’s an easy listen and packed full of thought provoking and prayer provoking gems.

I enjoyed this audiobook and the narrator did a lovely job. I found it comforting and I’m sure I will listen to this again, anytime I am feeling downtrodden.

So glad I decided to get this title.

Revisado: 09-02-20

Honestly, I was at first not keen on the author’s narration, but I gave it a go and I’m so glad I did. This had a wealth of information for anyone studying ACIM. He really made some things truly click and I had so many lightbulb moments that I neglected to bookmark, so I will go through the title again and take more notes. I’ve now bought one of his other audiobooks, the other two in my wishlist. I’ve also bought the Kindle versions in order to highlight parts that really struck a deep resonance with me. I do highly recommend this audiobook if you are starting out with ACIM like I am. It’s brilliant.

A New All-Time Favorite

Revisado: 08-11-20

I’m actually incredibly happy that I bought this audiobook, as I’m new to ACIM and by new I mean, I bought the initial text of ACIM when I was in my 20s and never really tried to delve into it, it just sat in my bookcase. Then something beckoned to me to maybe try again, in my now mid 40s, but I felt I needed something to guide me into it. This “made easy” truly was truly and utterly profound for me. I kept stopping the audio to go into the Kindle version and highlight it, which I also decided to order a physical book version as well, in order to have with me in my bag so I could re-read and take notes. This book was filled with aha moments for me, to which I am left almost speechless. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in ACIM, spirituality, new thought, self-improvement, and philosophy.

Passionate Writing Inspiration

Very inspiring! Keep in mind that this is a collection of essays on writing. Bradbury gives so much inspiration and you feel his passion of the craft. It truly makes you want to grab a notebook and start jotting down your own titles for story inspiration to bloom from.
