Helpful and Encouraging!

Revisado: 10-10-20

I just blasted through the for the first time and am looking forward to my hard copy coming soon! Her reality checks are particularly encouraging to me. I will definitely have to implement her concepts.

Excellent and Convicting

Revisado: 02-14-20

I appreciate the author's transparency. Her insights into her own struggles are eye-opening and convicting. I highly recommend this to Christian women everywhere. Even if you don't think you struggle with envy, most of the women in your Christian community will probably be locked in a struggle with this form of discontent to one degree or another, so it is a good thing to understand and deal with in your own heart. There were a few places where her wording was less helpful. I would probably agree with her on those points, but the way it's worded doesn't sound right to me. Other than that, this is excellent.

Worth the Listen

Revisado: 01-19-20

I received this book for free with my membership and I am so glad I chose it. Parts of it are hard to listen to, hard to face, but absolutely worth it.

Fantastic Story, Fantastic Performance

Revisado: 10-26-19

This is one of the best stories I've read in my life. In a time where ambiguity reigns, it is refreshing to read a story with clear monsters that must be destroyed. Excellent performance by the translator himself!

Mostly good

Revisado: 10-05-19

I really like parts of this book. Certain parts resonate with me and I can acknowledge the truth in many sections. Particularly the part when he says (more or less), "You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you." That said, his interpretation of Genesis is totally wack. I thought the narrator fit the book well. The chapter break down doesn't make sense to me. It would be nice if there were some explanation of how chapters are broken down so that we can switch from audio book to physical book and vice versa without to much difficulty.

Great Book, Terrible Narrator

Revisado: 09-13-19

I love this book, but I far prefer physically reading it over listening to this version. The narrator read it like he thinks history is boring. He also sounded like he was trying to put on a tone of importance to match a history book that just came off as really freaking annoying. People kept suggesting that I speed it up to make it less annoying, but then I really couldn't take it seriously. The book itself, however, is fantastic. It is a great resource on the early church, her sufferings and growth, as well as a good peak at the struggle to determine what books belong in the cannon of scripture.

Love the narration, not the chapter divides

Revisado: 08-26-19

This is a great performance of this story, however the chapter divisions make no sense. It would make way more sense to end the audio chapter at the end of each "book" instead of cutting of chapters in the middle of a book or ending a book in the middle of a chapter. I would go back and forth between audio book and physical book and this made navigation difficult.
