The clients who appear at 221b Baker Street may be desperate or dangerous, illustrious or irregular, but they all require the services of the world's only consulting detective.

I love these Jim French productions! Casting across the board is fantastic! Larry Albert sounds great as Watson and I love Lestrade as well. The writing is superb with just the right amount of humor and great wit.
JPL is seriously one of the best Sherlocks to listen to. I imagine he acts with the same flow as Ron Howard's Sherlock (from the 1950s TV show) with the eloquence and precision of speech as the great Basil Rathbone.
These are my favorite productions. Please keep producing them for Audible! Anyone who is just being introduced to these productions, I recommend starting with the Classic Adventures but these stories are just as good and sometimes better!

This is without a doubt the best crew I have heard yet in regards to radio presentations of the famed detective. The voice actors are incredible and personify the characters exactly as I can imagine them.

I remember reading this book in sixth grade and remembered enjoying it. I decided recently to re-read it and then I thought it would be even better to listen to it. I love this book! The story is engaging and the message for kids (and adults!) is truly wonderful. To top it off, Roger Rees's performance was impeccable and the audio recording was great quality. I enjoyed the addition of extra sounds and music to engage the listener and help with literary transitions. Both the story and performance are five stars!

One of my favorites.
Revisado: 10-05-17
This book is probably my favorite in the Dragon Keeper Chronicles. I read the story years ago when I was a young teenager, and now I am listening to it read to me.
I love the story line, the tension we feel with Kale on her journey of discovery and adventure, and the parabolic truth that is so carefully taught through the dialog.
As much as I love this series there are times that I wish we, as readers, had more. But alas, the series is complete. I cannot expound on this without giving away spoilers. Christian fantasy readers will love this series, but it may not ever be as popular as some other magic/dragon fantasy works.
I think the narrator did a good job, although there were certainly some characters that sounded way too much alike. I had to rewind quite a few times to make sure I heard who was speaking at certain times, but all in all it was a pleasurable listen. 4/5

The narrator took some time to get used to, however the inflections for different voices was very well done. I loved listening to this book.
The book itself was a phenomenal story, rather a multitude of stories, spy thriller, romance, adventure, that all intertwined together to make a brilliant work of historical fiction.

"Sixty years ago I found myself distracted," Eugene Peterson writes. "A chasm had developed between the way I was preaching from the pulpit and my deepest convictions on what it meant to be a pastor."
And so began Peterson's journey to live and teach a life of congruence - congruence between preaching and living, between what we do and the way we do it, between what is written in scripture and how we live out that truth.
Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson's teachings over his 29 years as a pastor.

Peterson's Best.
Revisado: 08-24-17
This was by far his best work yet... A collection of sermons from a man who has walked with God for a long time and unpacking the whole counsel of God through 7 different lenses. I loved it.
This work is one I will return to time and time again whenever I feel like my life is getting out of congruence.
May we all share a life obeying in the same direction.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

A definitive, deeply moving narrative, Bonhoeffer is a story of moral courage in the face of the monstrous evil that was Nazism. After discovering the fire of true faith in a Harlem church, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany and became one of the first to speak out against Hitler. As a double agent, he joined the plot to assassinate the Führer and was hanged in Flossenbürg concentration camp at age thirty-nine. Since his death, Bonhoeffer has grown to be one of the most fascinating, complex figures of the twentieth century.

Metaxas Nails It
Revisado: 04-19-16
Phenomenal biography. Detailed and engaging at every moment. Metaxas writes about Dietrich's life in a way as if he knew him personally and now after finishing I feel as if I knew him too. That's a rare feat.
The audio recording was superb as well. The reader, Hillgartner, used proper inflection and voice changes that helped the narrative progress in a great way, while giving each person a distinct personality. His German was superb and a very easy to listen to voice. 5 stars!

Jack Chisholm is 'the people's pastor.' He leads a devoted and growing mega church, has several best-selling books, and a memorable slogan, 'We have got to do better.' Jack knows how to preach, and he understands how to chastise people into performing. What he doesn't know is anything about grace. This year, when it comes time for the Christmas sermon, the congregation at Grace Cathedral will look to the pulpit, and Jack will not be there. Of course, they will have seen plenty of him already - on the news.

Well written, well presented.
Revisado: 02-29-16
I loved this story. Listened to the audible version and I didn't want to ever stop it. The Prodigal isn't flashy or too deep. Actually it is a simple story, but it is a much needed message. It is a real, relevant, and relational story of forgiveness, love, renewal, and a quintessential picture of God's grace.
