i>Still Searching for Pipe Dreams is the second in a series following Rick Newcombe's first book, the best-selling In Search of Pipe Dreams. Why would anyone still smoke a pipe in the 21st century when all forms of smoking are being banned around the world? Why are so many young people drawn to pipe collecting and artistic pipemaking with such intensity and passion? And why are pipe shows suddenly sold out, with waiting lists for tables?

Content great/audio bad
Revisado: 03-04-25
I am listening to this right after listening to the original book. More wonderful, storytelling and fantastic content. But the actual reading of the book is quite a disappointment as the audio is just awful. Wish this could be redone. Don’t know if I will be able to finish.

One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life.

Ruined my awful narration
Revisado: 02-23-20
This book probably has a lot to offer but I am bailing on chapter 2. This narrator sounds like he is a computer generation. Don’t waste your money.

A massive audience in sitting rooms, parks and pubs watched England in the 2018 World Cup. Yet as Duncan Hamilton demonstrates with style, insight and wit in Going to the Match, watching on TV is no substitute for being there. Hamilton embarks on a richly entertaining, exquisitely crafted journey through football. Glory game or grass roots, England v Slovenia or Guiseley v Hartlepool, he delves beneath the action to illuminate the stories which make the sport endlessly compelling.

Masterpiece
Revisado: 01-31-20
Let’s get one thing straight. This is not a sports book. It is sports literature of the highest order. From the opening sentence, Hamilton paints a picture with the most evocative, atmospheric and nostalgic scenes I’ve ever come across, rising to the brilliance of the painting for which this fine book is titled. The narration by David Mounfield is equally brilliant. Damn, I want to go to the match!

From Charles J. Chaput, author of Living the Catholic Faith and Render unto Caesar, comes Strangers in a Strange Land, a fresh, urgent, and ultimately hopeful treatise on the state of Catholicism and Christianity in the United States. America today is different in kind, not just in degree, from the past. And this new reality is unlikely to be reversed.

Platitudes masquerading as serious social comment
Revisado: 02-26-18
I kept waiting for this to live up the hype, but after pounding this listener's head against the wall for five hours or so, I quit. Absolutely nothing here that most Catholics haven't heard in terms of what ails society and us. I say this from an orthodox perspective on things, so I agree with everything he points out, but this is no profile in courage when it comes to proposing real solutions. Lots of platitudes and embarrassing attempts to quote Pope Francis to demonstrate his magnanimity.

Was the Reformation a mistake? In its actual historical context, it hardly seems fair to call the Reformation a "mistake". In 1517, the Church was in need of a spiritual and theological reform. The issues raised by Renaissance humanism - and by the profound corruption of the Church's leaders, the Avignon papacy, and the Great Schism in the 14th and 15th centuries - lingered unresolved. What were key theological problems that led to the Reformation?

Revisado: 11-02-17
The best resource I've come across to understand the great Reformation debate. Levering boldly presents Luther's strongest arguments against the Catholic Church, offers his "Biblical Reflections" in favor of Biblical Catholicism on nine key teachings, and this fine book concludes with a smack down of "Biblical Catholicism" by Kevin Vanhoozer. Levering's typological arguments are absolutely fascinating and Vanhoozer's rebuttal is equally compelling. It's all done in a gentlemanly style debate and has so much to offer for anyone willing to consider both sides.

Awful narration!
Revisado: 11-02-17
Oh my, this is the worst narration on audible I've heard! Stilted and over enunciated in the extreme, but the worst is that for every quote in a quote-heavy book, he says "quote/end quote" so you end up hearing "quote/end quote" over, and over, and over......so bad!
