In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana’s Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier’s death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. She also came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute - men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing.

Sister Helen Prejean’s work as an activist nun, campaigning to educate Americans about the inhumanity of the death penalty, is known to millions worldwide. Less widely known is the evolution of her spiritual journey from praying for God to solve the world’s problems to engaging full-tilt in working to transform societal injustices. Sister Helen grew up in a well-off Baton Rouge family that still employed black servants.

Sister Helen Prejean is it incredible storyteller, and all the stories are true, heartfelt and inspirational. I would highly recommend that anyone buying this book listen to the book (and not just read it) - Sr. Helen gives so much more in her narration than any "hired hand" could. Her book is a must read, or must hear. She gives me hope for our world.

This user-friendly book blends theory and practice, gently and concretely taking the listener through the first steps of contemplative prayer. Armchair Mystic begins with the necessary details of time and place to pray, then presents the maturation of the prayer life in four stages.

It felt like a personal retreat with Fr Mark. His kind, understanding voice was as much the content as his written text. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing God better.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Little more than 100 years ago, maps of the world still boasted white space: places where no human had ever trod. Within a few short decades the most hostile of the world's environments had all been conquered. Likewise, in the 20th century, medicine transformed human life. Doctors took what was routinely fatal and made it survivable. As modernity brought us ever more into different kinds of extremes, doctors pushed the bounds of medical advances and human endurance. Extreme exploration challenged the body in ways that only the vanguard of science could answer.

With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as the celebrated actor of film, television, and stage. At times suspenseful, at times deeply moving, but always incredibly brave and honest, Not My Father's Son is a powerful story of embracing the best aspects of the past and triumphantly pushing the darkness aside.

Fabulously conceived, fabulously told, fabulously redeeming, this is what telling one's life story should do: give your life back to you. Thank you, Alan Cumming.

In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up".

Revisado: 02-01-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. The Gospel of Mark is a very accessible account of the life of Jesus Christ. Easy to follow and understand.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jesus. It's his story.
What does Juliet Stevenson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Listening to Juliet Stevenson's reading is like hearing the story for the first time. She is precise in expressing the tenor of each passage. She brings every character to life. She does not inflect a judgmental perspective that many readers automatically assume is there. She's very easy to listen to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I wanted to listen to it over and over again. It was very calming and insightful.
Any additional comments?
Best audio version of the Gospel of Mark out there!

On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.
