Straight Forward

Revisado: 05-15-23

Without giving graphic details. The narrator did a great job switching accents which allowed the story to flow smoothly. The crisis of trafficking young girls needs attention like this to educate the public. Bravo to those working so hard to save as many girls as they can!

Engaging

Revisado: 05-08-23

The narrators voices were great and accents kept my interest and focus. I only heard a few trips in the flow or switching when one narrator did more than one voice, and they were minimally distracting. The storyline and history were very interesting. There were some places it seemed to get lost in the weeds, perhaps for length, and I would drift away. Then the story ended with wanting ‘the rest of the story’ which is touched on as an afterthought, but could have been an important piece of the story and replaced the ‘weeds’. Overall really enjoyed the book, learned some things, and mostly stayed engaged, the narrating adding so much to the experience.

Thought provoking

I got a lot of great ideas for quoting the noise in my life. The author presents it thoughtfully, speaking to humans, and fills it with grace for accepting the challenges and personalizing which practices you want to incorporate. They are just good ideas to adopt or not, they are not “in order to be a good Christian you must…..”

Life changing!

Revisado: 08-30-21

I am recommending it to all my friends. It is an incredible introduction of Spiritual Formation intertwined with a story of four women’s lives that really holds your interest. How creative to take a potentially boring textbook and turn it into a relatable journey of real world stories that bring to life the lessons of such things as Lecto Divina, the Examen, and walking a labyrinth!

Incredibly real!

Revisado: 11-03-20

This book hits the heart of painful stories, not mincing words or apologizing. Just hard core emotions that paint beauty among ashes, words that show from the ugliest this world has to offer, healing and hope can bring inspiration and change. Thank you for this book Richard Paul Evans, as a child advocate this is one of my favorites of yours.

I enjoyed this one even more than the last, which says a lot. Each book, Alan meets different, interesting, and completely believable characters. You feel like you are reading someone’s actual journal of a friend.

Sadly predictable

Revisado: 11-27-17

I love so many Debbie Macomber books, but to my disappointment, this one was predictable from almost the beginning. It provided a level of entertainment, but it isn’t as fun or capturing when it is SO predictable.

Maybe re great relaxing stuff!

Revisado: 10-08-17

Richard really knows how to make one feel is if s/he IS him, stirring up all kinds of emotion from love to rage, to the sorrow only lovers can know! He keeps one engaged in the book and anxious for the next release! There are always characters to cheer, characters to hug, and characters to hiss at. Excellent as ever, assuming the next book will unhang us!

I really enjoy this story which was had more depth being narrated by two different people. I liked that the two character stories paralleled despite the decades of time between their existence, and that the parallels had to be thought about they weren't so similar as to be sappy. There were many good lessons in this book as well.
