Splendid!

Revisado: 01-01-25

I love the collection of stories and the production. I had the 1st volume and didn’t know it was a series. Glad I found it. Highly recommend!

Great Book, Great Production

Revisado: 06-19-24

Percy Walker, as far as I can tell, can do no wrong. The narrator had good chops. I really enjoyed it!

More commentary than text

Revisado: 05-13-24

I thought I was getting the text of of the KN, but it turned into Bob Marley’s analysis of scripture in his sing lyrics. In between was a mix of scriptural reading and author anecdotes in Jamaica. Interesting, but not what it suggest it is by the title, etc.

Wisdom

Revisado: 04-13-24

It doesn’t take long to listen to. If you’ve never read it, or it’s been a while, here it is. Truly, a book unlike all the others.

A moving portrayal

Revisado: 04-13-24

If, as the Bible says (paraphrasing), that Jesus was tempted in all things, then the temptations deployed in this fictional account seem rather reasonable. It was not created to be another gospel, and the author expressly denied that the book is a biography. The author chose the best character he could have chosen to handle the topic of temptation: the flesh vs. the spirit. Someone who overcame it, of course. I love the book. I’ve read it before, but had to get the audio to listen to it at a different time in my life.

Essential

Revisado: 01-25-23

Dr McClanahan has done America a great service. While I don’t expect any “National” reform, it at least delegitimizes the reign of corruption under which we live. After all, if they are not following the law as ratified by the several sovereign states, they are robbers and pirates.

Speculative, but that’s the fun!

Revisado: 10-13-22

A personal quest to find and see the Holy Ark of the Covenant, Hancock explores many places, documents, and sites that he weaves a fantastic speculative account of the whereabouts of the relic that is quite possibly true—but is it probable? I’m not qualified to say, but as a book it is engaging, exciting, and entertaining! I can’t ask for much more than that. 5 stars!

Life changing

Revisado: 11-16-20

One cannot read this book and remain unmoved. The cruelty inflicted upon the cast of characters is unconscionable and sickening, but are the direct result of an ideology overtaking the minds and institutions of a country. I fear that while this may be the Russian/Soviet past, it is not so in the West. It may well be it’s future.
God save us from such a fate!

Essential reading, prophetic

Revisado: 01-17-19

A book that should be read and re-reread (or listened to repeatedly). It has so many important insights about the world in which we now live that almost every sentence could be reproduced as a stand-alone quote.

Modernity and its monstrous assemblage of fallacious ideas that have, indeed, had their consequences. Bad ones.

This book could have been written by a contemporary, but was actually published in the 1940s; hence, it is in many ways prophetic.

Weaver saw the trajectory and we live in the world he feared would come to pass unless humanity once again found its center...

Weaver, a Southerner and associated with the Vanderbilt agrarians, but this book is read by a Brit with surprisingly good affect.

If you don’t have a background in philosophy, particularly the Greeks and, to a lesser extent, the Medievals, it might take some unpacking and require some outside reading on unfamiliar persons &/or topics, but you will be better for it!

I wish more books by Weaver were available on audio. This is the only title I have found...
