It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

Few subjects are as compelling-or as endlessly variable-as love and marriage. The Bible is filled with references to husbands and wives, from the story of Adam and Eve to advice in the New Testament, each open to interpretation. In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author of The Reason for God, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call.

Good in parts, okay in the rest
Revisado: 01-02-12
What made the experience of listening to The Meaning of Marriage the most enjoyable?
The most memorable parts of the book were the personal stories. The marriage advice was okay, but getting to know the Kellers was best.
What other book might you compare The Meaning of Marriage to and why?
If you compare this book to Tim Keller's other books, this one is good by any standard except the one Tim Keller sets. This is a good book, but one of his weakest.
What about Lloyd James and Marguerite Gavin ???s performance did you like?
The readers did an excellent job.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did not listen to this book in one sitting.
