Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 8
In this short read, about 30 minutes, you will learn the amazing story of a tiny, fiery redhead, Mary Slessor, (1848-1915) from the slums of Dundee, Scotland. Mary's difficult childhood would serve her well as she braves the unknown and terrors of the African jungle. This is an inspiring story of how God mightily used a woman, who was totally sold out to HIM.

Courage despite the odds
Revisado: 03-04-25
I was impressed with way the author wrote to capture Mary’s image—short like her stature—but filled with courage and wisdom from on high.

John Eliot Gardiner grew up passing one of the only two authentic portraits of Bach every morning and evening on the stairs of his parents’ house, where it hung for safety during World War II. He has been studying and performing Bach ever since, and is now regarded as one of the composer's greatest living interpreters. The fruits of this lifetime's immersion are distilled in this remarkable book, grounded in the most recent Bach scholarship but moving far beyond it.

Good English, poor German
Revisado: 01-10-15
I loved the narrator's moderate British diction. He failed, however, to render the frequent German titles and phrases in a consistently accurate pronunciation. He seems to know that "ei" is different from "ie," that "v" is spoken as "f" and "w" as "v," but he rarely succeeds in getting it right. Probably he took a couple of years of college German and passed at the bottom of his class.
