An Amazing True Spiritual Journey

Revisado: 10-13-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend it to everyone who enjoys books on spirituality. As a child, I read about the saints and wanted to be that connected with God, but it always seemed like a chance miracle, or too long ago, or requiring selling everything and moving to a far-away country to meditate or serve the poor. It didn't seem possible for regular people. As an adult I read books about how to grow spirituality, but they didn't seem to be as deep and devotional as the lives of the saints. This is the real-life story of an ordinary, contemporary man who develops his devotion to the point of seeing Jesus, hearing God, and teaching others to do the same. It's so absolutely real and down-to-earth, warts and all, it finally feels like there's a way for all of us. He describes the deep Christian path step-by-step, how to find help along the way, the difficulties and the joys.

What about Peter Bowes’s performance did you like?

The author holds nothing back, he exposes the most difficult and embarrassing moments of his life, with wit and humility. I especially appreciated his descriptions of his spiritual experiences; it is amazing to hear it directly in his words and voice. He often expresses his feelings in poetry, and later in music (so pay attention to the musical parts of his life early on) and it reveals his heart along the way.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to this audiobook on my commute, and found myself being happy about traffic jams so I could spend more time in the story. There were places that moved me so deeply I had to turn it off and wait until I got home to listen to the section again. I could feel it awakening my own soul. It's quite a long book, and a full life, but it all turns out to be important to come together in a complete picture. His early life molds who he becomes later on, and out of the ordinary grows something extraordinary, which is beyond inspiring - he describes a way for the rest of us to actually get there too.
