Amazing message but misses a couple point
Revisado: 01-01-23
Amazing message. Needs more details on how to keep the first three agreements. Need more elaboration on impeccable words. Amazingly written with a deep message. However, we will face the consequences of our actions. The author negates this point. We can’t dream bug if those dreams hurt other. I heard this book twice, and I plan to hear it again. That’s how much I liked it. A lot has been left to the imagination. I wish the author elaborated more on impeccability of words.

Historia
Five hundred years after Luther's now famous 95 Theses appeared, Eric Metaxas, acclaimed biographer of the best-selling Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery, paints a startling portrait of the wild figure whose adamantine faith cracked the edifice of Western Christendom and dragged medieval Europe into the future.

Martin Luther the father of modern extremism?
Revisado: 03-02-20
The book lacked spirituality and was difficult to develop interest in. I still slogged through and listened to the entire book. Some points raised by Martin Luther were quite valid. However, others sounded like middle eastern extremists. Makes one wonder was Martin Luther the father of modern day religious extremism.
The narrator’s voice was too high pitches and panicked. I found it very difficult to listen and relax.
Without a doubt Martin Luther was one of the most influential people of modern day. However, the book never answered how he achieve such incredible success against such a strong body like the Roman Catholic Church.
I expected to read a neutral account of Martin Luther’s, but I had was an overly apologetic account that justified absurd claims from Luther such as his visit from the Holy Ghost as he sat on the toilet.
Perhaps Metaxas’ praise for Luther comes from a common enemy, the Roman Catholic Church, that Greek Orthodox and Lutherans have. Note. Metaxas is Greek Orthodox.
PS. I have no religious affiliation with Lutherans, Catholics, or Orthodox. I just wanted to learn about Luther.
The book is disappointing.

Historia
Issued in London in 1917, the Balfour Declaration was one of the key documents of the 20th century. It committed Britain to supporting the establishment in Palestine of "a National Home for the Jewish people", and its reverberations continue to be felt to this day. Now the entire fascinating story of the document is revealed in this impressive work of modern history.

From the Zionist Point of View
Revisado: 10-11-19
It is not as balanced an account as I had hoped. The book showed the genius of the zionists in making a case for Israel. The narration is a bit hard on the ears. The British accent is difficult to put up with. The writing is not highly clear. Too much unnecessary eloquence at the cost of clarity.

Historia
Returning Marx to the Victorian confines of the 19th century, Jonathan Sperber, one of the United States' leading European historians, challenges many of our misconceptions of this political firebrand turned London journalist. In this deeply humanizing portrait, Marx no longer is the Olympian soothsayer, divining the dialectical imperatives of human history, but a scholar-activist whose revolutionary Weltanschauung was closer to Robespierre's than to those of 20th-century Marxists.

Missed the main point; Why did Marx do what he did?
Revisado: 06-10-19
The narration was a good performance although anglicized pronunciation of German words would have been easier on the ear.
The story did not clearly explain the why part. What happened in his life that lead Marx to develop the ideas he did.
