Amazing, insightful, best study on Revelation out there

Revisado: 01-18-24

Revelation has previously always been a scary and confusing, foggy book. Going through this study was fascinating, extremely enlightening, and truly amazing. Chuck Missler had to be one of the most gifted Bible teachers there has been. He uses the Bible itself to explain other parts of the Bible, and in spite of having grown up in the church, I learned thousands of new things from this study that I never knew before. Revelation makes so much more sense to me now, and this gave me so much more understanding. And it also shed light on which parts are still a mystery; some things we just won’t know exactly what they look like until they happen. But this was absolutely incredible and life-changing. I will definitely listen to it again and share it with others.

Beautifully written, quick and fascinating read

Revisado: 02-17-18

“Well” is a beautiful, albeit at times heavy, story of the author’s 3 month trip volunteering at a hospital in Togo. The gritty, heart-wrenching stories of her experiences among the Togolese people are, at the same time, interwoven with hope and wisdom. The author’s compassion and genuineness are evident and inspiring. The experiences she had in Togo are such a different world than I’ve ever experienced, even having been to developing countries. The author wears her heart on her sleeve in the pages of this beautiful book, and lets the reader vicariously live a completely different experience than most of us are used to. She also reads the book herself on Audible and does a fabulous job— it is SO much better when the authors themselves read their own nonfiction audiobooks! You can feel the emotions and hear it all exactly as she tells it, in her own voice. This adventure is totally worth the listen!

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Incredibly moving, very thought-provoking, and an awesome listen. Very well produced audiobook! I love it when the author reads their own writing, and Mr. Alexander conveys his story with genuineness and joyful energy.

Great!

Great book. Easy listen. Thought-provoking and pleasant to listen to. I highly recommend it. My only gripe is that I prefer it when the author reads their own nonfiction book/memoir; it's much more authentic than a random audiobook reader.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd highly recommend this audiobook/book to friends & family. In fact, I already have two people in mind that I'm going to gift this book to.

What does Shauna Niequist bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

As I've gotten into the world of audiobooks, for non-fiction/personal books in particular, I've found it makes ALL the difference in the world to have the author read her/his own book. I love hearing Shauna's voice tell her own stories. Other books have been ruined for me when it's someone else's voice telling the author's story-- it is clearly ungenuine-sounding in most of those cases. Not so with Shauna telling her own stories... so good!! So real!!

Any additional comments?

I loved this book from start to finish, and was captivated by her stories. Her stories are meaningful, deep, very relatable (even her stories about her marriage, although I'm not married-- I could understand because of the way she tells it). Not only that, but the book is inspiring in a way that makes you (me) want to jump back on some trains in life and faith that I've fallen off of. I plan to listen a second time through sometime, because there are so many nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book and already have given it away as a gift. I plan to give it out more! It's heartwarming, smart & funny all at once.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed AND teared up at various parts of the book. Graham does an awesome voice-over, and has written lovable characters, realistic situations and fun, engaging dialogue.
