Historia
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ provides an almost complete record of the words and works of Jesus Christ, including those years about which the New Testament Gospels are silent. It begins with Jesus's birth in Bethlehem and goes on to describe his 18 years of study in the East, his ascension from the Mount of Olives, and his travels to the monasteries of Tibet and the temples of Egypt, India, Persia, and Greece. Levi spent over 40 years preparing this document in order to tell the story of a much more complex Jesus than previously known.

Waste of time, nothing here for you
Revisado: 03-07-25
This is a mash-up of the four Gospels and laced with Christian propaganda. There is nothing new here to discover, no new exegesis on faith, no new theologies given. It seems to be a simplification of the Gospels for simple minded people. Nothing of Academic value whatsoever

I wanted a historical account of the Mayan Religion. This is not that. This is New Age hoodoo drivel. Absolutely unlistenable

Decent Story, Extremely good narration
Revisado: 09-25-24
Story is fast paced, almost too fast. Would like more character development. Narration was amazing and probably carried the book.

Historia
Groundbreaking study that established the reputation of the famed theologian traces the search for the historical person of Jesus. Schweitzer examines works of more than 50 18th- and 19th-century authors and scholars and concludes that many of the earlier historical reconstructions of Christ were largely fantasies. The criterion for all subsequent studies.

No History Here
Revisado: 07-12-24
This is a book for Christians by Christians. It takes to the final chapter, after speaking in circles for hours and hours, to get to the point.
The historical Jesus doesn’t matter. Only the theological Christ matters.
If you’re seeking a resourced based book about the historical Jesus. Look elsewhere. This book is Christian theological gobbledegook

Historia
Chris Hedges has been telling truth to (and against) power since his earliest days as a radical journalist. He is an intellectual bomb-thrower who continues to confront American empire in the most incisive, challenging ways. The kinds of insights he provides into the deeply troubled state of our democracy cannot be found anywhere else.

Salty Hedges Isn’t The Best Hedges
Revisado: 08-20-23
There’s a lot of good gems in this book. At times Hedges comes across as petulant but most of his points are valid. The reading of a previous interview is a little trying at times. Chris’s emotions come across as flat which could lead to the impression of him as bratty. Overall you’d have to love Hedges to love this offering.

Historia
We now live in two Americas. One - now the minority - functions in a print-based, literate world that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other - the majority - is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. To this majority - which crosses social class lines, though the poor are overwhelmingly affected-presidential debate and political rhetoric is pitched at a sixth-grade level. In this "other America", serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins of society.

Darn near prophetic
Revisado: 08-14-23
Everything the author says at the end seemed to come true with the election of Donald Trump. It is a very sobering read, almost despair inducing. No solutions are offered…except perhaps to read more books…and maybe read to your children as well——just don’t read them this book.

Historia
From dreams filled with strange, beautiful images and haunting music, Claire Challis woke to the repulsive sound of a nasal, falsetto voice scratching its way through her closed bedroom window - the kind of voice adults reserve for speaking to pets or very small children. A particularly annoying case of the latter, she decided, for the voice was crooning, "My, don't we look fine in our Sunday best! Are you going to church, young man?"

Revisado: 07-11-23
The story is pretty good and deliciously gory. The author is perhaps a little too generous however, this book could be tightened up a little bit. I wonder if it would have worked a little better as a period piece, maybe 1940s or 50s because it’s a little pulpy, fantastically scifi in a bygone way, and the character’s interactions with each other seem a little old fashioned and dated.
The narration is pretty annoying…almost obnoxiously presumptuous bordering on pretentious. I don’t think he should have attempted any voices.
Audio quality is good though.
All in all, the story was enjoyable but I wonder if I’ll ever think of it again.

Historia
With his trademark mirth and boundless charisma, actor Nick Offerman brought the loveable shenanigans of Twain's adolescent hero to life in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Now, in yet another virtuosic performance, the actor proves that despite being separated by a span of over a century, his connection to the author and his work is undeniable and that theirs is a timeless collaboration that should not be missed.

Laugh-out loud funny with some brilliant anecdotes about the growth and progression of human civilization. Nick Offerman’s narration is absolutely perfect. Do not deprive yourself of this book.

Historia
What if Atlantis wasn't a myth but an early precursor to a new age of great flooding? Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing rapidly rising sea levels and higher and higher tides pushing more water directly into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic cities to our last remaining traditional coastal villages. With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Arctic and Antarctica and each tick upward of Earth's thermometer, we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster.

Great Start
Revisado: 04-18-23
How about a little disaster porn to get you on the path to Climate Awareness and Climate Studies. This isn’t a comprehensive study on the coming effects of sea level rise but it isn’t meant to be. It’s meant to scare the crap out of you, and I hope it does. I enjoyed the narration a lot, I’ve seen reviewers saying they didn’t but I thought it was great. Overall, an enjoyable light-hearted reading of humanity’s looming existential crisis.

Historia
Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

One of King’s best
Revisado: 03-26-23
So yes, the film is iconic. One of the greatest ever. And I feel a lot of people under 40 will come to this after seeing the film first. This book will inform a lot (the dog man most especially). I understand King’s hatred of the film. Most things the book gets better (Jack’s character development and alcoholism, Wendy’s character, even the satisfying finale. The references to Poe are sooo good.) This may be one of King’s best thought-out novels. Some things Kubrick did right (swapping a maze for topiary animals was an excellent choice. Swapping an ax for a roque mallet another). It’s a little dated, especially with Halloran fully embodying the “Super Duper Magical Negro” trope, but I feel like the depth of the character development, especially of Wendy, and some great backstory to the Overlook make it so worthwhile and allow some forgiveness. It was after all 1977, and King has (in most instances) come a long way. In fact, in 1977 having an African American as a main character and a hero was pretty progressive…and sort of smacks of George A Romero work…who I know King loves. All in all, this is one of King’s best, and reading it while inform you on how King is an expert at the novel, and Kubrick is an expert at the film, and sometimes the two just doesn’t fit together perfectly.
