A pastoral gift

Revisado: 01-17-25

St. Symeon's exhortations and encouragements refresh the soul. He covers so many topics that are still matters of confusion to this day. I was making many comparisons to things I encounter in my own life as I listened, and many issues I have for which I need to pray to God for mercy. The translation to English seems natural and readable, with a reverent tone appropriate for the content. Fr. Josiah Trenham blesses listeners with his warm, full-bodied, and clear reading voice.

Immediately pragmatic and applicable

Revisado: 10-04-23

I started listening and quickly realized I only want to listen with a pen and journal next to me so I can make notes for all the useful perspectives that Scott offers. He offers what could help and leaves it at that. Very refreshing to hear wisdom shared like this that I can implement immediately in my self-talk and actions. The narrator's voice provides you a non-judmental, assuring, and friendly tone you would want to listen when considering your life choices. Perfect casting and performance for this kind of book.

Brakke (PhD) offers well-rounded New Testament 101

Revisado: 05-31-23

I read a review that seemed to dislike Brakke's personal views, which he sometimes offers as a matter of his own expert opinion, but what I appreciated was that he offers the spectrum of views Christians have taken about their beloved New Testament from the time it was written to now. As a part-time/amateur Bible scholar I felt like I was in the lecture hall, eager to hear the next lecture as soon as the first was completed. I have more questions for Professor Brakke than I have answers from his comprehensive introductory presentation of the historical background, interpretations, and summaries of the New Testament. I would recommend this lecture series to anyone who wanted to take a step into the critical scholarism of the New Testament as well as for anyone who wants a solid overview of New Testament books. I appreciate that Professor Brakke does not tell the listener what to think. His summaries of the books and topics have depth but don't bog you down with too many details. We are offered a guide through the text, but also avenues of inquiry and study to pursue on our own. I was digging into questions I had as I would pause between listening, on my own time. I hope others enjoy this lecture series and that it spurs them on to their own research and investigation of the New Testament text.

Great story. Well narrated.

Revisado: 09-21-20

I liked the main narrator, and the voice actors... well, you could say they "spiced" things up.

Life-Changer

Revisado: 05-25-18

This audiobook is a life-changer if you let it be. Parts of it were therapeutic exercises, like when hearing of the author's experiences, relating to them, and seeing through them a path of hope going forward into the next moment. Parts of the book are full of sheer practicality and simple steps one can take right now in order to declutter and ultimatelt minimalize. I find myself already thinking about things differently and more essentially within days of starting this book. It is strange to be beholden to physical objects and yet not have realized it this whole time. I recommend this audiobook for the content and the narrator's gruffly simple voice and inflection, which fit perfectly the tone of the text. I am so inspired right now, that if I didn't have this book on the cloud, I would discard the physical copy immediately to someone who could use it.
