Excellent!!!

Revisado: 05-11-22

I don't agree with the author on every little point (for instance, I'm highly skeptical about the Biblical codes) but he's always interesting and thought provoking. And his enthusiasm for knowledge of the Bible is infectious. Overall, I feel that I have a deeper and richer understanding of Genesis now and I plan to listen again in the future. I would highly recommend his commentary. Definitely worth a credit.

Another winner!!!

Revisado: 12-18-21

Quite different from "The Martian" but just as well done. IMHO Andy Weir hits another home run! Audible named it listen of the year and Weir and Porter deserved the honor. The characters were believable and the plot had enough unexpected twists and turns that it kept me in suspense. The ending was clever and satisfying but I enjoyed the book so much it still left me wanting more.

Thought Provoking

Revisado: 12-01-21

Growing up in a conservative Baptist church I was taught that miracles and healings are not for the church today. But Keener has helped convince me that God works today just as He did in Bible times. The book also demonstrates that God doesn't always do things in the way we would expect. Nor does He seem to do things the same way every time. As C S Lewis said in the Chronicles of Narnia, "He isn't a tame lion." But God always has a purpose and He is always good.

I found this book inspiring and it strengthened my faith. Not that I think God has called me to start a ministry of healing (though that would be awesome). Nor do I think God is necessarily going to heal me of a serious life debilitating problem I've had since I was a child. But I can see through the testimonies Keener presents that God is working today and His power, kindness and love have not diminished in the past 2000 years. He is strong and He is in total control. And that is so encouraging in these days.

It is a terrific book, well worth a credit.

I guess that overall it was a typical Correia book, interesting and well written, but I wouldn't know because I couldn't get by the slow pace of the audio. I can understand the reader using a voice to sound like a stereotypical detective but the monotone he uses is tiring on the ears. I couldn't make it through til the end.

Great Story

Revisado: 09-23-21

You expect fascinating engulfing stories from Roald Dahl, and Matilda doesn't disappoint. Like many of his stories the plot takes unexpected twists and turns. A nice little heart warming tale that was a real joy to read.

Great Reference

Revisado: 07-24-21

Well written and easy to understand even for the average layman like me. If you are not a Christian and believe in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old, then this book will probably not convince you otherwise. But if you are a Christian who already believes that the earth was created in six ordinary 24 hour days then this book will help build your confidence in the plain words of scripture. It will also give you a lot of information that will help you answer questions you might encounter in discussions with friends and relatives who may be Christians but may not agree with your stand on creation. Well worth a credit!

Long section was boring

Revisado: 01-09-21

One reviewer said it was a soap opera. Good analysis, that pretty much sums up a large part of the book. The author goes into detail about stuff that has nothing to do with the overall plot. It also doesn't do much for character development either. I really don't need or want to know about how Bishop's girl friend goes shopping for a dress, nor what they talked about while on a date. and I especially don't want to know about his sex life. The author is too good a writer to depend on this kind of thing. It felt like much of the book was just filler material.

Yep, its a winner!

Revisado: 07-03-19

Only a bit over half way through the book but I've already learned enough to give it five stars. I don't like reading books on "how to write" simply because I'm impatient and rather spend my time actually on my craft. Most creatives probably feel the same way. This book is efficient and gives a lot of information without making you feel you are wasting valuable time. Easy to understand with practical illustrations. Its a great book, well written!

Great Listen for the Predator Fan

Revisado: 03-12-18

Any additional comments?

Of course I liked some of the stories more than others, but all of them were fun and a few were outstanding. The stories were imaginative but they didn't wander too far from the "Predator" tradition of the original Schwarzenegger movie. Some of them reminded me of the "Predator" fan films on YouTube. The writing was good and so was the narration. Overall a great effort! I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to Predator fans.
