Counting the Cost

Revisado: 03-07-25

8 women saved by fath and moved by a love for their country have dedicated their lives to share the gospel to the lost. I was struck by their youth as many were only in their teens. Hearing the story of Gladys Staines made me think of Elisabeth Elliot. Inspirational story!

I love a knitting story

Revisado: 01-23-25

Tha narrator had the accents down, but Ian & Struen sounded alike. The story had a coming of age thread and Gertie went from a timid shop girl to a woman living her dream

Forgiveness Yields freedom

Revisado: 12-04-24

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from Mahtob's perspective of the life she lived in Iran. I was distressed that so much hatred has darkened her 6 year old heart. Mahtob's teacher was perceptive enough to see what was happening and steered her toward forgiving her dad.
Mahtob Mamoody is a well-adjusted woman. She is proud of her Persian heritage (I would love a dinner invitation!). Her dad would have been proud.

What a testimony !

Revisado: 10-13-24

Darlene Deibler Rose's ministry & suffering is evidence of the all-sufficient grace & love God has for His children. I am inspired to renew my commitment to Christ and to prayer after hearing her story

This book has me wondering if the Deiblers' ministry connected with Don Richardson's ministry in Peace Child or Lords of the Earth. We also support the Gibellos who are working in August New Guinea among the Moka people.

I liked his no nonense approach and humor. The stories were informative and entertaining. I would like to listen to more.

Food not as labeled

Revisado: 02-23-24

The topic was interesting, but I preferred Cooked & The secret life of groceries. I was disappointed & alarmed to know that fishmongers & grocers cheat the public by adding water to increase weight. Restaurants presumably bait & switch lobster, for example, with less expensive seafood. If true, don't order lobster or anything else for that matter.

Seems we are being cheated or are food is trying to kill us. Even vitamins are suspect.

A Delightful Book

Revisado: 08-08-23

As always Grisham wove a story with a few twists that kept me guessing. The only flaw was that it ended. Michael Beck is a great narrator. His smooth voice and ability to add accents is unsurpassed.

Knitter, spinster, lover of all things wool

Revisado: 10-31-22

The book is short, but by no means lacking on history, humor, and trivia regarding wool, sheep and the necessity for humans to keep warm.

Very interesting history of the British wool industry crossing over to the colonies. Seems that if all the restrictions placed on the colonists nothing enraged them more than restrictions on wool.


I am happy that the author dispelled the common myths that Ganseys, Aran, & Icelandic sweaters and Scottish tartans are ancient designs passed down for generations. They are more likely the fabrication of clever marketers wanting to lure tourists into the various shops in Dublin, Glasgow, and London.

Long, but detailed

Revisado: 10-26-22

What a fascinating trip to an understanding where and how English developed!! I love John's humorous hyperbole.

I was particularly interested in creole languages and was disappointed when John didn't mention Acadian and its influence in Louisiana Creole

I have to be honest and say I was taken aback at hearing ASL classified as an artificial language. After working at NTID (Institute for the Deaf), I have developed a love for ASL as a language with all the complexities and nuances.

Great course, just remember that the audio version cannot replace the video and the lecturer must remember that we can't see him.

The Shadow: Hiding in Plain Sight

Revisado: 10-15-22

I had not heard of these cases probably because of the location 3K miles away. That made this book so fascinating and maybe because I have a 5 year old granddaughter.

Other reviewers have started this book isn't about profiling. I couldn't disagree more. Patrick Mullany and Howard Teten used what they knew of others efforts: Jack the Ripper, the Mad Bomber, Much of the book explained how profiling pointed directly to Meyerhoffer. The afterward went further to explain how the BSU had grown over the years. Today, FBI agents have thousands of cases and interviews to assist them in developing a profile for a particular UnSub.
