Biased and one sided

Revisado: 11-05-19

I thought this book was about how millennials are CHANGING we the church, not why they are leaving the church. I was very disappointed at how much of the authors agenda was apparent, instead of just facts.

I loved the facts and there are viewpoints that need to be told, but where are the positive stories? what IS working not just what is broken?

The author focuses too much on what is important to her, such as people leaving because of being offended by seeming lack of women's rights in the temple, when she admits that is a low cause for leaving the church, yet much time was focused on it and brought up again and again. Yet the number one cause of leaving the church is feeling judged, that gets a small mention at the end of the book.

Time and time again, the stories and details she chooses to include and not include and focus on and not focus on show a lot of author bias.

I would've loved this book a lot more if she had a coauthor with different viewpoints to help balance her out.

Perhaps I'm not the target audience. If I were to guess the target audience it would be people who have left the church or on the fence about leaving it or actively fighting the leadership of the church to change policies and want to feel justified.

I don't think it's bad to say, here's what's going on and possibly being ignored. I think that discussion is healthy and necessary. But to be a well rounded book, you have to tell all sides and perspectives and try to remain impartial, allowing the reader to decide.

Also, at the end she tells us we can find the data from her survey on the book's website. That will probably be far more interesting to me than her interpretation of that data.

this was all sorts of uncomfortable for me.

Revisado: 10-07-19

Guess I'm not comfortable with role playing. Squirming the whole time. Esther is still amazing, really love her stuff. This was the one I liked the least though.
You should listen to it, to see if you squirm too! Haha!!

unexpectedly really enjoyed this

Revisado: 09-16-19

I chose this title because it was one of the free originals that month but wasn't thrilled about it. i started this recording pretty skeptically, but time after time Perel impressed me with her responses. I want more Esther Perel.

great for kids, ok for adults

Revisado: 07-11-19

I'm an adult but was recommended this book. It was ok I guess. Just followed a kid through a year of middle school. It was well written, but the plotline wasn't amazing. I did like the characters though. they each had their own strengths and weaknesses that shone in the book.

I would've liked to see the main character be more of a participant during a major turning point in the book.

I would definitely recommend it to a kid. I'm not the target audience, so I rated 4 stars instead of 3. I probably would've loved this book as a kid.

performance was great.

a voice needing to be heard

Revisado: 01-22-19

Regardless of your political views, it's important to hear a voice that often isn't well represented. thanks for sharing your story with the world, opening minds, and giving more perspective to a situation that's difficult to deal with, but affecting so many.

This was a nice change from regular audiobooks. The format was fun and more conversation-like.

Too heavy for my heart

Revisado: 01-04-19

I cannot recommend this book, because it is too much for me to hear. I couldn't get very far before I had to stop. If you like stories with just really really horrible things happening to people in the name of history, this might be for you, but it's not my cup of tea. I don't need this in my life, but I know there are many out there that will appreciate this book.

way better than the movie

Revisado: 05-30-18

I listened to this after watching the movie. It is significantly different that watching the movie really doesn't spoil much at all. great read.
