Historia
In layered prose and with thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of religion as one long and remarkably cohesive attempt to understand the divine by giving it human traits and emotions. According to Aslan, this innate desire to humanize God is hardwired in our brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious tradition. As Aslan writes, "Whether we are aware of it or not, and regardless if we are believers or not, what the vast majority of us think about when we think about God is a divine version of ourselves."

Nothing really. Great book, great flow and timing. Great author/reader, which can ruin the experience if not done right.

Historia
America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it?

The forces of authoritarian are on the March in America. This book clearly explains how we got here, the seriousness of the situation we are facing today, and what is needed to save our Country from the slow slide into minority rule. Highly recommended reading.

Historia
In 1969, five young men from Montana set out to accomplish what no one had before: to scale the sheer north face of Mt. Cleveland, Glacier National Park’s tallest mountain, in winter. Two days later tragedy struck: They were buried in an avalanche so deep that their bodies would not be discovered until the following June. The White Death is the riveting account of that fated climb and of the breathtakingly heroic rescue attempt that ensued.

This book is really about avalanches, their history, and science. It does use a tragedy that happened in glacier national park in the late 60s to weave the book together. Great history of mountaineering and of man's struggle to understand, and deal with avalanches. The book is captivating, highly recommend it.

The narrator overacts to a cringeworthy degree. Get him back in the studio and just read the dang book please. Let me know when it's done and I will buy it again, this version is not listenable.

Historia
Late on the night of October 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a twenty-one-year-old gay college student, left a bar in Laramie, Wyoming with two alleged "strangers" Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. Eighteen hours later, Matthew was found tied to a log fence on the outskirts of town, unconscious and barely alive. Overnight, a politically expedient myth took the place of important facts. By the time Matthew died a few days later, his name was synonymous with anti-gay hate.

- De: Stephen Jimenez

The truth honors Matt, The myth uses him.
Revisado: 10-05-13
If you could sum up The Book of Matt in three words, what would they be?
Incredibly well researched.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The fact that the writer is gay; and that a gay publication endorses it.
Which character – as performed by Paul Fleschner – was your favorite?
Doc
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment it is revealed just how deep into the drug trade Mathew really was at the time of his death.
Any additional comments?
You can't take a tragedy, and twist the truth to further you own agenda. Very slimy.

The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: On this single day, the battle claimed nearly 23,000 casualties. In Landscape Turned Red, the renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Nothing earth shattering here; when a people accept everything their leaders tell them, bad things happen. Only 46 minutes, but the argument is well made.

Great book.
Revisado: 05-08-10
Completely engaging, fast paced, and well researched, this book is a must read. I was amazed at how little I actually knew about the King assassination. I am usually leery of books read by the author, and doubly so this time because the authors last book, Blood and Thunder,droned on like Ben Stine on downers.
I am happy to say that the author does a great job reading it, and it kept me entertained throughout the entire read. If you feel that you should know a little more about the MLK assassination, you will not be disappointed.
