Exceptionally Thorough!

Revisado: 07-28-24

This was perhaps the most complete and thorough book on the papacy I’ve ever read. I’ve been studying the papacy for a little over a year and I was blown away by how much I learned from this book. There was just so much that I had never heard of or even thought about before listening. William Albrecht and Fr. Christiaan Kappes are both top rate scholars and I cannot wait to read the other books they’ve written. I’ll also be ordering a hard copy of this book for future reference. It’s that good.

A childhood classic that feels brand new!

Revisado: 08-18-23

Andy Serkis is BRILLIANT! His reading turns a book into an experience. This has long been one of my favorite books but hearing it read in this manner truly brings it to new life.

Truly Eye Opening

Revisado: 02-13-23

I had never considered the Mass this way before listening to this book. It’s given me a much deeper appreciation for the Divine Liturgy. This is truly the highest form of worship.

Simply Excellent!!

Revisado: 01-29-23

The Darth Bane series might be my favorite of the entire expanded universe. All 3 books are excellent but Rule of Two stands out. Very well written with a good balance of action, politics, and dark side intrigue. The final battle is my favorite action sequence of the series and is the book of itself.

Shockingly Racist

Revisado: 05-21-21

I actually have to commend the author for his honesty. He doesn’t even attempt to hide his overtly racist views. Ironically, he explicitly engages in the very racism he admonishes throughout the book, not only in his obvious contempt for whites, but worse in his disgustingly low regard for minority groups, particularly blacks. It’s clear that the author views whites as fundamentally and irredeemably racist, but in describing this bigoted and subjective opinion of his, he also paints blacks as perpetual subordinate victims incapable of overcoming adversity. Shameful. Among the themes found in this vapid and nihilistic book are a complete rejection of enlightenment philosophy, individual liberty, personal responsibility, rational critical thinking, equality of opportunity, legal neutrality, as well as the principles of free market capitalism. Clearly Marxist in his collectivist thinking and rationale, the author dismisses the many hard fought achievements of the civil rights movement, and openly calls for the abandonment of integration philosophy and traditional anti-discrimination law. At one point the author not only argues for a legalized form of discrimination, but actively promotes segregation. As disturbingly racist as this book is, I recommend that every American read it. I suspect that the more people who read up on the anti-enlightenment and racist philosophical underpinnings of Critical Race Theory, the more people will reject this poisonous Marxist pedagogy wholesale. Read this book, but also prepare for it’s bigoted concepts to infuriate you.

Funny, witty, smart and an all around excellent book

Revisado: 12-07-20

This book is a light hearted take on some serious topics and is as thoughtful as it is thoroughly enjoyable. A must have for any politically minded individuals either right or left.

A must read for a Christian of any denomination

Revisado: 07-27-19

This book is a beautiful walk through Christian belief and thought. Bishop Barron has a breathtaking command of philosophy, literature, and theology. He is able to martial them all together with captivating clarity while simultaneously working in some absolutely beautiful imagery inspired by classical art, architecture, and poetry, all as he walks the listener through Christian faith from the sacraments to the saints. The modest reflections within leave the listener with profound thirst for the Living Water. You do not have to be a catholic to thoroughly enjoy this book.

A powerful case for Christ!

Revisado: 06-22-19

This is the most complete and air tight argument for Christ I have yet to encounter. This is a must read for anyone interested in Christian apologetics. This book has seriously deepened my faith and broadened my knowledge. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Levin’s Best Since Liberty and Tyranny

Revisado: 06-07-19

Levin masterfully dissects the failures of the modern press and thoroughly details exactly how far from our founding principles the media have fallen. A masterpiece.

Perhaps the greatest novel ever written

Revisado: 09-01-18

Obviously this book is a classic and world renowned for a reason. This can hardly be overstated. Dostoevsky is a literary genius. The performance of this particular reading however, is a masterpiece of itself. One of the best narrations of any book I’ve ever heard.
