While many Christians would readily affirm this truth, the widely held assumption that the Bible depicts a male God persists—as it has for centuries. This misperception of Christianity not only perniciously implies that men deserve an elevated place over women, but also compromises the glory of God by making God appear to be part of creation, subject to it and its categories, rather than in transcendence of it.

Thought provoking book

Peeler excels at taking what some view as a controversial issue and cites scripture and ancient texts to support her point of view in a fashion that this non-academic could appreciate.

The various crises we experience in society and culture today, at their root, reveal a spiritual problem: a profound lack of meaning. The mystical truths revealed in scripture can surely help. “Entering the Desert”, introduces the listener to principles of awareness, deep listening, and contemplation as essential for “hearing” what Scripture has to say. Part Two details the importance of mystery and struggle in the process of healing from any past or present wounds. Part Three explores the “undivided heart” that is possible when we come to know God in silence and stillness.

Excellent topic lacking in narration
Revisado: 06-18-19
I love this book b/c this topic is something I struggle with. The text gives lots of great background from Christianity as well as other teachings, to the importance of slowing down. So I love the book at this level. I find the book very informative and challenging for my own continued spiritual development.
My problem is with the narration. The narrators voice "doesn't minister to me" and I find it difficult to listen to her reading. The pacing of the narration is inconsistent. There are times when I am expecting a pause at the conclusion of a sentence or a thought and the narrator just blasts on through to the next sentence or thought. The audio quality is also distracting, but I can't place my finder on the issue - I'm not an audio technician.
At the end of the day, I'd probably encourage the reader to buy a hard copy or digital copy and skip the audiobook.

Drawing on their own cross cultural experience in global mission, O'Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time, and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ.

The second half is a good book
Revisado: 01-26-17
I think the first half is too focused on introduction and culture in Indonesia. I did enjoy the second half of the book as it delved into topics I expected it would address. I felt like I really gained some new insights.

Twenty-six-year-old cavalry officer Slavomir Rawicz was captured by the Red Army in 1939 during the German-Soviet partition of Poland and sent to the Siberian Gulag. In the spring of 1941, he escaped with six of his fellow prisoners, including one American. Thus began their astonishing trek to freedom.

One of the best stories I've heard
Revisado: 10-28-16
Where does The Long Walk rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
For me, this book ranks up there with The Boys in the Boat as one of the best books I've read.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
John Lee's reading of a great story adds to the story. His voice is pleasant, peaceful and distinctive. The story itself is just amazing. I find it difficult to fathom the perseverance, courage and strength of these travelers. The book has highs and lows. I found myself weeping at the lows, I was that drawn in.

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.
