Gay AA book

Revisado: 03-13-25

It is good but predictable. Wealthy big city gay goes thru the difficulties of rock bottom with some wry humor.

Good but not perfect

Revisado: 01-10-25

It’s a story about breaking the cycle of abuse. The characters are a bit cliched but what didn’t work was the need for all the people to be Harvard educated or at the top of success. As such it felt the people unreachable. The main characters emerging maturity adds much to the story.

Boring book of an extreme successful athlete and nave seal

Revisado: 04-05-24

Up front, I don’t run in circles with navy seals or adrenaline junkies. Book is about an Olympic level athlete with an Olympic sized ego and an always present drive to do more. Any chapter is a testament to his ego and any chapter is as good as the next. Can read or listen to a five minute excerpt to get the idea of the book. A great read for other adrenaline junkies but very meh for those not driven to conquer and be better than others.

Good but not great

Revisado: 05-10-22

Native American spirituality taught by a professor. It is quite interesting at times and quite repetitive in others. The authors voice at once soothing but at the same time annoying. I learned quite a bit from listening to this book. I also think it sentimentalizes Native American ways of life. A good listen but with caveats.

An extremely excellent course

Revisado: 04-28-22

This is one of Ehrman’s great works. Not the critical thinking effort of many of his works but how did this religion captivate and shape modern western civilization. He does this quite fairly, each lecture is fascinating and well planned out. If you have any interest in this subject, this book is very highly recommended.

Extremely pretentious narration

Revisado: 03-13-22

My 11th great course audible program and easily the worst. Daniel Robinson is completely self absorbed and never will use simple language when a more pretentious vocabulary is available. Please stay away. I

Basic introduction to Ehrman’s book

Revisado: 03-12-22

Excellent best of lectures. I’ve read many of Ehrman’s books. This course offers an excellent survey of his ideas in many areas of early Christian thought and history.

Socialist propaganda

Revisado: 02-25-22

The misery of capitalism just keeps coming. Whining and more undermining the argument of socialism. Simplistic moralizing. I’m sympathetic to some goals of socialism but this book was both well written yet tiresome. Also highly racist with many two dimensional characters.

Well read, not to deep Theologically

Revisado: 02-18-22

Ok, fessing up, I was raised Catholic but as one parent is Protestant, I was given a choice and went in that direction. Father Schmitz is an excellent and enthusiastic reader of scripture. He is very much a gee shucks and golly gee kind of guy and easy to listen to. From a theological point of view, he keeps it simple and doesn't engage with parts of scripture that are problematic. Politically, he is quite conservative as his speeches at the right to life rallies will attest. For people who've never read or can't get thru the bible this podcast is great. If you've been around scripture for awhile or maybe have taught Bible Studies it is not too deep.
