Whew!!!!

Revisado: 05-26-23

I don’t even remember buying this audiobook. I’m a retreat this week and was looking for something to listen to while I spend my time away with the Lord and saw this. Honestly I didn’t want to listen to it. It felt too intense and as a worship pastor I’m surrounded by intensity! Lol
But listen, resist the temptation to pass this one over. It is a must read. It is a must read, but also a difficult read because few people will be able to get through this entire text without beating his or her breast in conviction at least once. But read it anyway. God chastens those He loves, and I believe that the Father has used Jeremy to chasten but also to encourage. And after finishing this book I am more encouraged than I have been in a long while!

So glad I found this

Revisado: 05-24-23

I’m on a solo retreat and could not find an audiobook that felt right. I literally said to myself that I wanted a book by a woman who walked in great intimacy with Jesus and is full of joy. Kim Walker-Smith’s name came to mind and I was surprised to see this book show up when I put her name in! I’m a worship leader too so double bonus. 🙌🏾 I was SHOCKED to find out that she dreaded that viral video, This made me realize that I also overthink and try to cover up what God wants to expose for His glory. I’m so grateful to have discovered this book!

Glad it was short

Revisado: 05-22-23

The book started off interesting but started to freefall into being terrible about midway through. How could such a smart lawyer be so clueless?? How could a competent attorney be so gullible and emotional? The story was very predictable for me and the characters not very deep. I’m just glad it wasn’t that long so as to not spend more hours reading something I disliked so much.

Resetting bones in order to heal

Revisado: 04-19-23

This book feels like the resetting of a broken bone. It challenges and even hurts, but it brings incredible healing and wholeness. Shanna is amazingly transparent and honest, giving you freedom to be honest with yourself and with God. I love that she takes off the “author hat” at the end of each chapter to process what was shared as with a friend. I recommend it fully, but know that it will expose areas that God wants to heal. Trust the process.

NOPE

Revisado: 02-23-23

A really good friend recommended this. The narration was the first to get over. He’s terrible and makes the annoying protagonist even more so, and all of the other characters lackluster. Then came increasingly frequent comments about the physique of each woman that came into the story. How holding a pot accentuating this one’s breasts and all that crap. The end for me was the terribly written rape of the teenage girl. Now I hate the protagonist and wonder where the story will end up. So I read several reviews and several blogs. Basically if you like ambiguous characters and morality this may work for you. But it’s not a redemptive read according to those who have read it so I’m moving on. Wish I would’ve read the reviews before wasting my credit.

So much profanity!

Revisado: 04-18-22

I listen to audiobooks on my Echo Plus while making dinner for my family or cleaning. The profanity was so frequent I had to move to AirPods which makes it hard to hear everything going on on my house. If it hadn’t been a short story I wouldn’t have finished it. Now that I have finished it I don’t regret it. The story and the writing was really great. Such an interesting idea! But I won’t get another book from this author, unfortunately.

A Musician’s Review

Revisado: 12-20-21

I love this book for so many reasons, but I’ll just speak about the musical aspect. Never have I read a book that captures the intimacy between a person and his/her music and instrument so well - except in “In This House of Brede.” I’m not one to repeat books, but I’ve read both books twice and will likely do so again. Patrick Rothfuss is a satisfying writer with characters you will miss long after the read is over.

Too occultist

Revisado: 09-14-21

Fantasy worlds with magic is one thing. Demonology based upon practices in our current real world with real evil? No thanks.

Trying too hard

Revisado: 07-16-21

Storyline and magic were decent. Writing was terrible. Metaphors seemed like they were thrown in as filler and they were painfully bad. I finished the book and was tempted to do the sequel but can’t bring myself to do it. I did really appreciate the fact that the writing was clean and morally redemptive.
