Original source material

Revisado: 09-01-24

Not based on conjecture or personal like or dislike of TJ, but on original source material. Consideration given to who wrote the material as well - a friend, or a political or clerical enemy? All quotes considered in context, as everything should be. I learned a lot. sgb

Not Just For Children!

Revisado: 03-12-24

Written for older children, but I learned a lot about Tyndale and the Church as it was in the midst of Reformation. Got to know Henry VIII, Sir Thomas Moore, and Thomas Cromwell also.

We Must Never Forget

Revisado: 08-21-23

Experience the horrors of Auschwitz with Rosie and her sister - hard to process, but a must listen, as antisemitism is inexplicably on the rise again. Rosie's determination to survive and to not give up on God are inspirational.
Others have commented on the narrator's voice, which can be shrill at times during her dramatic reading, but easily dealt with by lowering the volume temporarily. This should not be a deterance to listening to this well-written, true story. Compared to what Rosie and other survivors endured during the Holocaust, it is a less than trivial complaint.

Even better in audio form

Revisado: 07-02-23

When I read the books wasn’t sure I liked them as well as the other Magiford series
BUT Kira Fixx did an amazing job and brought so much depth to the main character. Five stars

Improvements made in audio

Revisado: 06-26-23

The "Codex Corrupted" has been replaced with pauses. Several reviewers seem to think that the narrator just "can't get a sentence out". Very unfair since this was done intentionally and the reason explained (for accuracy). The reason for the echo at the Chapter intros is not given, but I think it was to add a note of mysteriousness to the reading. The content does deal with very mysterious things! I found the content very interesting.

Not Easy to Follow the Arguments on Audio

Revisado: 05-30-23

Not easy to follow these academic debates and language on audio. As in most academic papers, too many words were used, when the positions could have been stated much more succinctly.
I didn't care for the male narrator's tone, and even less so the female narrator's.

Reliving History

Revisado: 03-05-23

if you grew up in the 60's & 70's, this book will stir up a lot of memories. If you are a Follower, it will have you praying to God to stir up the waters once again.
A little disconcerting, at first, for a book written by Greg Laurie about his own life - to be written in the 3rd person and read by a female narrator. But I got used to it - sort of...

Well Researched

Revisado: 01-29-23

The author did an admirable job putting together a plethora of information in a coherent presentation. The narrator's voice had a snide tone to it, which made it difficult to listen to until I adjusted to it. There were also some random pauses, perhaps where the audio was spliced together.

Good Insight into the Ancient World

Revisado: 10-15-22

Hard to understand parts of the Hebrew Bible are put into perspective by looking at them in the context of the culture at the time.
The numerous scriptural references are distracting, but necessary.
The author seems to believe that the New Covenant has replaced the Torah laws of the Hebrew Bible, with which I do not agree (hence the 4 stars). Some laws are not currently applicable, or are applicable only to some, but they have not been *replaced*. Otherwise, the book is an insightful study.
