Heart-changing

Revisado: 01-23-18

I'm in awe of these books. It's incredible that after 2,000 years, we get to read lifelike accounts of events like the Last Supper and all the happenings leading up to it. Such a gift.

life-changing book

Revisado: 12-16-17

What did you love best about The Gospel as Revealed to Me: Volume 3?

These books are soul-opening. Who would have ever thought we would get to hear the Sermon of the Mount in its entirety? Each story in this book (and the other volumes) is a window into the life of Jesus where before there was only a keyhole.

What other book might you compare The Gospel as Revealed to Me: Volume 3 to and why?

The Bible...but way expanded

Which scene was your favorite?

Mary's recollection of the birth of Jesus

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The whole story

Any additional comments?

These books have changed my life--so glad they're now on audio!

A rich gift of life and spirituality

Revisado: 09-27-12

Where does The Way, the Truth and the Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a little hard to compare, but the closest comparison I can think of is "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda. This book focuses less on the author's personal spiritual experiences and more on the rich details of a full life. Its abundant spiritual truths and guidance are very applicable to the reader. I get the feeling that Father Peter is consciously sharing the parts of his experience that will help people connect more deeply to their own spirituality. Father Peter includes his personal notes on many of his spiritual experiences at different points in his life, which are very rich. I was touched by his willingness to share such intimate details--of these as well as his life and relationships.I also find Father Peter to be very personable. I could really "feel" him in this book and get a sense of who he really is as a person, as well as a spiritual teacher. From a 1950s Catholic childhood, to rebellion and embracing '60s counterculture, to finding his spiritual teacher and path, and eventually becoming a spiritual master and teacher himself while continuing to do "typical" things like working and raising children...Father Peter's life is both relatable and extraordinary. Most of the audiobooks I've listened to feel mostly like entertainment or a good distraction on long drives--like a performance. This book feels like a gift. It really touched my heart on many levels.

What did you like best about this story?

The feeling of it--it's like going on an adventure. I was completely engaged in every part of it.

What about Peter Bowes’s performance did you like?

I like the fact that he read the book himself. It made it feel so real and intimate, like someone was actually telling me a story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I can honestly say it did both. Father Peter is a very good storyteller with a wry sense of humor. There also were parts of the book that pierced my heart and filled me with awe and humility.
