A comfort. Lovely to fall asleep to. Restorative.

As someone who has been floundering in what has seemed like an endless dark valley of grief and despair, and who has been reading through the Bible for the first time, and who only knew of David from his famous fight with Goliath, but not that he is credited with writing many of the most well loved Psalms, this book does a beautiful job of illuminating who David was and how he would turn to God, depending on Him for guidance, comfort and strength. To fear not. To know we are never alone. To know we follow a righteous and loving God. Many especially comforting biblical passages are included, and prayers that we can pray, as well as stories from the author’s life and inspiring historical references. This is a special book, illuminating and encouraging, and is made even more special and comforting by narrator Mark Korff, whose deep, soothing voice and measured delivery allows the message to be received like a healing balm for a troubled spirit.
I first listened to it while gardening, and found it interesting and uplifting, then listened again to quiet my mind at days end, and found it wonderfully soporific. A blessing.

Worst translation ever, awkward English and ridiculous word choices - cannot get past the garbledy-gook to hear if there are actually helpful tips - DO NOT BUY!!!
Narrator is no doubt ashamed of this product. I know I am - and I had nothing to do with it.

Wonderful book. Intelligent and lovely, I feel like I have just returned from the shore, kind of blissed out. Adventure without terror, drama without murder, wonderful imaginations of food and runs on the beach and sunrises. I’m in love with John McDonough’s voice and his incredible ability to give such life and warmth of feeling to the characters of Jan Karon’s imagination. I listen to these Mitford books over again, to help me fall asleep, to soothe me while I work about the house. So lovely, so evocative these worlds of Karon’s, voiced so well by McDonough. I’m not a religious person at all, but this book in particular has me wondering at that possible lack in my life. The book is not preachy, it is just a window letting one look in on a different way of living, and thoroughly enjoyable. I always hate to come to the end of these Mitford books, thankfully, one can listen again and again and - always hear something that you maybe missed the first times through. I can’t get over John McDonough’s lovely baritone - so amazingly able to fill with emotion and character. So many characters so touchingly rendered! He’s a great talent. This book reads like a balm to the spirit in a troubled world. I’m filled with gratitude that I ever stumbled across these books in Audible. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts Jan Karon and John McDonough. Truly grateful.
