And I answer that I thoroughly enjoyed this book, both story and performance. I laughed, I teared up, and I thrilled. Charlie has a unique gift for writing clean romance, with a dash of magic and adventure. I look forward to the rest of the series

Interesting stretch of history

Revisado: 07-19-23

The content itself is interesting. The history is an expansion on what is commonly known or accepted, and in some cases refutes common narratives. The narrator does an excellent job enunciating names from several languages. the struggle is in the dry narration. Very little inflection is added and it's very nearly monotone. I struggled to finish

I have rarely been so happy to finish a book

Revisado: 01-18-23

If you enjoy medical oddities, grotesque situations, or morbid stories this book is probably going to be enjoyable. Often it left me deeply uncomfortable.

A new favorite

Revisado: 06-02-22

This series has become a recent favorite. Through this trilogy I've come to realize that while stories of magical knights, time travel, and other staples of fantasy are exciting and enjoyable, I also need stories of men who become fathers. Men who recognize their need for God and seek Him out. I'm glad, and pleasantly surprised, I was able to listen to these books and discover such a man in Jesse Barabbas. A man infamous for his brief appearance in the New Testament, but largely unknown otherwise. A man in the classical world of Rome during a period with which I'm less familiar than other areas. A man of faith willing to walk great distances to see his family, to serve Christ, and to show his faith.
I put this trilogy next to The Work and the Glory for the hope and faith it inspires, the history and geography it introduces and for the characters I was permitted to spend time with.
I am left wondering what else Bishop Jesse Barabbas does with his life. Whether he passes first or Paul. Does he serve as a seventy, or does he stay closer to home and build up the Church there? Whatever followed after the epilogue, his legacy was spread far and wide in this telling of a "what if..." story.
Thanks for the journey, Brother House!

This episode brought up an old memory for me

Revisado: 04-05-22

I was glad to hear a little more about that fateful trip to Moab with the young men. If it's the same trip I'm remembering then my wife and I were living in the Pleasant Grove Ward when it happened. I do remember one of the other leaders on the trip talking about it during testimony meeting and everyone seemed to be on the edge of their seats. I'm equally glad that everybody who went on that trip made it home

A new personal favorite regarding redemption

Revisado: 02-16-22

I love the idea of Barabbas seeking redemption, eventually. I love stories with people who struggle to see themselves as others do, and to see the good in themselves.
Barabbas literally watched Jesus take his place on the cross. It could easily have been him, and by legal rights it should've been him. In this imagining of the life of such an infamous figure, he knows the literal meaning of that exchange, but struggles to fully accept it on a spiritual level. His development comes across as realistic while he deals with his guilt and anger. I'm glad to have this book in my library and will return to it again as I need the reminder that Christ already paid the price. I don't need to punish myself over and over again for my errors. I need to repent and do better and that is all!

A personal favorite

Revisado: 12-01-17

This has always been one of my favorite book, so much so that I considered keeping a copy of the audiobook I borrowed from my library. It certainly is dated, but has a sufficient amount of that high adventure romance and charm, exploration, and introspection.
