Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.
In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be a comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible.

Not funny
Not creative
Not innovative
In no way worth my time to listen to a guy with an accent who thinks he's funny but really is no more than a snarky smart ass.
I am irritated at spending money on a fools rambling.

One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain and the man who struggled to rebuild it in the wake of devastation: John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.

The better of the apocolyptic novels out there
Revisado: 11-13-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes.
You will like this if you have lived in or traveled to the Black Mountain & Asheville area, or enjoy a bit more likely scenario in the post-electric grid America fantasy world.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Mostly. Some of it was predictable, but the character development was well executed, as was the story line.
Which scene was your favorite?
The reefers capture of John and subsequent trade.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really.
Any additional comments?
While I still contend the extreme of the "collapse of America" ideas that drive novels like this is overstated and dramatized, the read is a captivating one. It kept me sane on a 16 hour journey and that's the highest praise I know how to give :-)

John Lago is a very bad guy. But he’s the very best at what he does. And what he does is infiltrate top-level companies and assassinate crooked executives while disguised as an intern. Interns are invisible. That’s the secret behind HR, Inc., the elite “placement agency” that doubles as a network of assassins for hire who take down high-profile targets that wouldn’t be able to remember an intern’s name if their lives depended on it.

This was unique
Revisado: 06-30-15
Such a cool format. I really enjoyed the first person narrative with inner dialogue.
While the bravado and impossible ability to function while severely wounded got tiresome from time to time, and the total predictability of Alice was frustrating, the hook and story was enjoyable.
Reader: he did a great job. Ideal tone and tenor for the character.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

We should all be thinking about it
Revisado: 06-28-15
Great story in a town I knew well.
The reality of vulnerability to an EMP ought to give us all pause.
Certainly a bit excessive in the collapse of all society's restraint though. Americans solve problems and become creative, not just desperate & barbarian in 30 days.
Real world people would have gotten communication, electricity and transportation working far quicker, along with bartering between communities.
The most poignant part is the medical supply & food supply being so vastly complicated and fragile! Terrible how we just trust big food and big drug to be there for us.
Last thought: massive disease and infection are truly just one calamity away. He really handled that well.

Do you ever feel like you don't pray enough, read your Bible enough, share your faith enough, love God enough...and ultimately that you're not a very good Christian? Welcome to the club. Messy Spirituality was written for the silent majority of us who are convinced we just don't do Christianity right. Mike Yaconelli dares to suggest that imperfection, unfinishedness, and messiness are, in fact, the earmarks of true Christianity; that real Christianity is messy, erratic, lopsided...and gloriously liberating.

When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today.

What a hack.
Revisado: 05-31-11
This is some of the poorest scholarship I believe I've seen since Joel Osteen. About half of his claims are simple miscontext and the other could be divided among taking an antagonistic view of all things scripture & the "late date" hermenutic.
Save your money. This guy is a hack.

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance.

Gosh! WHAT WAS all the fuss about??

Intelligence...
Revisado: 05-31-11
It has been said that true inteligence is being able to understand a position without accepting it. In that spirit I've read this book several times and listened to it several more.
Verdict: I am deeply disapointed that such a great writer and thinker has gone off in this direction. It's compelling and gets plenty of conversations going, but at the end of the day it's just herecy in it's pure form. There is no continuity in the idea that "God gets what God wants" in the end! Biblically, this proposition is contradicted in Revelation 20:11as Satan and his demons are cast into outer darkness in judgment, along with death and Hades.
Great author.
Great presentation.
Very well read and written.
Sadly, it is heretical doctrine that will lead many to confusion and ultimate ruin. That's a sad thing.

Content Good/Narration Weak
Revisado: 05-31-11
The material is good stuff from good thinkers & writers. However, the narration is poor, not appropriate for the particular contributors. It just kills the whole experience.
