The Spartans of ancient Greece were a powerful and unique people, radically different from any civilization before or since. A society of warrior-heroes, they were living exemplars of self-sacrifice, community endeavor, and achievement against all odds, qualities that today signify the ultimate in heroism. Scholars even believe that Thomas More had Sparta specifically in mind when he coined the term "Utopia".

Great narrator, good content, terribly written.

The narrator does a really great job with this. I was starting to get frustrated with Audible narrators but this guy was good.
The book is full of information and seems to be a pretty objective, comprehensive overview.
However, this guy has no idea what a timeline is and bounces back and forth by hundreds of years in such a constant manner I can barely track. I hope this improves as the book goes on. Would recommend if you can get over the ADHD factor.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet.

Great book but narrator makes it unbearable
Revisado: 02-04-18
Due to the sheer volume of scripture references, and also due to the narrator’s complete, stoic disconnect from the material, it’s like Charlie Brown’s teacher every time he cites a scripture. “[book], (pause),chapter [x], (pause), verse [y]” - do you really have to repeat “chapter” and “verse” so slowly EVERY citation?!?! That makes it SO difficult to not get constantly distracted. But the book is great. I’d recommend not the Audible version. Please don’t fire the guy just make him read books he seems to care about.
