You can really know Him

Revisado: 02-20-24

First, I thought the performance was good. However, because the narrator is British, he uses British pronunciations and sometimes that leaves you wondering what the word was. I have a hard copy of the book so I could easily look for the word. Sheed gives a lot of information that isn't in the Bible but is known about the time period and location. And he gives explanations as to why Jesus said something the way he did or how it relates to the Old Testament. There is a lot of information in this book. I'm glad to have an audio copy that I can listen to while I'm busy with other things.

Mixed Feelings

Revisado: 05-17-22

The steps for telling a great story are beneficial to storytellers in any situation. Though the book highlights how these steps are used in Moth storytelling they can be adapted to your situation. The snippets of real storytellers often leave you wanting to hear the rest of the story. The downside of the audio version is that there are so many tips you would have to take notes in order to get the most benefit from the book. The hard copy would be a better choice. Another downside is that so many of the stories are left-leaning stories. I expected that but toward the end, it became somewhat annoying. However, don't let that keep you from learning how to tell a story. Conservatives have great stories to tell too.

Love the Psalms

Revisado: 01-16-22

I think Mark Shea did an excellent job of narrating the book. However, because I'm familiar with Mark Shea's voice and that he is an author, sometimes I would forget that he wasn't the author of this book. One thing I think would have improved the narration is to read the entire psalm at the beginning of each chapter. Even though in every chapter each psalm is read a few verses at a time, reading the entire psalm would have been helpful in understanding the context of the reflection. For this reason, I suggest reading each Psalm prior to listening to the chapter.

Pray for healing

Revisado: 09-25-21

Though I personally didn’t listen to find healing, the book was very helpful in learning about praying for healing for others. I thought the narrator was excellent.
