Why would God allow it to strike Sylvia Bryan? And why now, of all times, when her mission work back in Nicaragua is bearing such fruit and beset by such needs? For Sylvia, the ravages of surgery and chemotherapy are just part of the struggle. There are the questions, the emotional upheaval - and through it all, one deep desire: that God will use her illness, and that she will glorify him through it. As the friends of Cedar Circle lend their love and support to Sylvia and her husband, God is at work, knitting hearts, shaping and changing lives, and, out of this season of pain and sorrow, drawing forth blessings that are unforeseen, joyous, and enduring. Some of God's greatest gifts come in life's darkest wrappings. Sylvia Bryan has known this truth for years. But she never anticipated the cost she is about to bear in walking it out. Concerned over her increasing fatigue, Sylvia's husband, Harry, has sent her home from their mission work in Nicaragua to undergo testing. The diagnosis is numbing: cancer - a stark, terrifying word that will utterly reshape the trajectory of Sylvia's life. How could Sylvia have breast cancer? She struggles with why God would allow such a thing now, at the most fruitful time of her life. The children at the orphanage in Leon need her. A church in the village needs renovating after the recent hurricane. Her beloved husband depends on her. And there are scores of people, young and old, who need to hear about Jesus and learn about his love through Sylvia's hugs, her smile, her care, compassion, and laughter.

Inspiring story Where does Season of Blessing rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? My favorite Who was your favorite character and why? Sylvia- her faith in her struggle with cancer What does Kathy Garver bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hearing a story just seems to bring it to life more than reading it Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Sylvia used Jesus' death to bring peace about our questions in death Any additional comments? For those going through cancer, either themselves or a family member, this is an encouraging book

Members Reviews: The first hostage Wonderful scary book about what might be .Joel Rosenberg is a very good author and when he is on tv I always enjoy what he has to say. Unexpectedly good. I read this book on a recommendation of a friend. We both enjoy books of a similar genre and he thought I'd like this one. He was so right! This book grabs you from the first few pages and doesn't let up. It's well written and well performed. Definitely worth the time and money. another excellent book I have not listened to any of mr. rosenberg's books I did not like, but I believe this is the best. It so so true to life in todays news. It kept me going with so many twists and turns literally wondering if anyone would survive the horrific scenes most did not. however a very few did. it did have a good ending .... don't want to give away too many details, so you will have to listen to it yourself. I highly recommend this book in audible form to get all the nuances to the book.

Gretchen Daniels has recently moved into an apartment with her two children to be closer to her mother, Miriam. She and her children are building a life together in a new community when a mysterious young woman, Melissa McCreary, moves into the apartment next to them. She has few possessions, little personality, and keeps to herself. One day, a local landlord who is looking for Melissa knocks on Gretchens door for assistance. Melissas mother has died and in the coming weeks the landlord needs Melissa to empty her mothers apartment. Gretchen reaches out and offers to help, but the apartment is a gut-wrenching shambles of a home. There is little worth saving, except for a few photos and a note that is discovered on the crate beside the bed. It is unfinished, but in the two scribbled lines, Melissa discovers she has a brother and a sister that she never knew about. Even more shocking, she begins to uncover family secrets that show her who she really is. Can two very different women embark on a journey that explores a long-buried need for forgiveness, hope, and redemption? Members Reviews: Warm Christmas Story of Hope Someone who reviewed this book said it was like a Hallmark movie, to which I say, so what? This is a great listen for the holidays, full of faith, joy, and hope. I love Donna VanLiere's books, because they always give us a glimpse into everyday flawed lives that are in need of grace and love . . . as are we all. If that is off putting, then her books are not for you. Her stories are wholesome, family friendly, funny, quirky, and faith affirming. In my estimation, that makes them priceless. Like Watching a Hallmark Movie! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? If you enjoy light, fluffy stories with predictable endings, this is for you. How did the narrator detract from the book? The author tries to imitate a British and a Southern accent, and both are bad. Sometimes they run together and become even worse. Authors shouldn't narrate their own books if the stories require voice acting skills. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It should become a movie on the Hallmark or Lifetime channels for the holidays. Christmas favorite I love this book! Just finished listening for the fourth time! Simple, heart warming and surprising... can't go wrong! Love At Christmas Great book to enjoy at Christmas since it weaves a tale of how to love one another, and how we, in turn, may be loved back, God working all the while behind the scenes! Beautiful Christmas Story A Wonderful story to go along with The Christmas Promise, And The Christmas Secret for which i watched and listen to many times both in book and show. Looking forward for this story to aire this Christmas..

The Right? The Left? It may not be who you think it is. Republican vs. Democrat The Haves vs. the Have Nots Left vs. Right Us vs. Them We believe these are the divisions that are threatening to tear America apart. But what if the culprit isn't a political ideology or a class of people but a puppet master? He's been manipulating us for centuries - and now he's brought us to the brink of implosion. It would take a special kind of sinister to hatch such a nefarious plot against our civilization. Who, or what, would be capable of such a conspiracy? All there is to go on is the cryptic message: You'll never guess my name. Members Reviews: Refreshing and Informative Very well researched and written. Everyone should know the terrible facts about abortion. Bravo! must read a brilliant writing that is an absolute homage to CS Lewis. gives a staggering observation of our society, and a pretty spot on assessment of how we got here. Definitely a must read ... A demons manifesto There are many books that try to explain what is going on in current events through politics, religion or culture and usually its the same damn thing, rewritten by another author wanting you to buy their latest and greatest. This book, however, actually brings in a unique perspective, it is written from the viewpoint of a demon General, Nefarious, who explains how the occupants of hell have set out to destroy America and what they have done. Great with sarcasm and the cynical voice that needs to be heard. Steve Deace epic Steve put together a great compelling story threw the eyes of the demon Nefarious. I love the snarkiness of the demon. it's a must read for any person of faith as well any conservative. great work. Nefarious indeed! Great audiobook, I like the perspective it was written from, though really didn't like the voice of the person reading it. Too monotone for me.

Title: Fallen Angels Author: Patricia Hickman Narrator: John McDonough Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-04 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: During the Great Depression, Jeb Nubey is running from the law when he meets three abandoned children. With nowhere else to go the group passes a stormy night in a comforting church. When they are discovered, a case of mistaken identity ensues. It seems the congregation has been waiting for their new pastor, a widower with three kids. Looks like more trouble for Jeb. Yet the chance for a steady job and three squares a day is too good to turn down. Fallen Angels conveys its uplifting message with compassion and a healthy dose of humor. Narrator John McDonough delivers a lively performance, capturing the essence of a good man doing the best he can. Critic Reviews: "Hickman is a talented writer, and readers will sympathize with her unlikely ragtag group of characters." (Publishers Weekly) "Hickman is witty, and her ear for Arkansas twang is right on the money." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Touching This book is so cute. It is well written and narrated and just one of those sweet stories. I look forward to getting in the car everyday and as I approach the end of the book, am sorry that it will end soon. Hooked me at the start This is one I push on my friends that don't think they could listen to audiobooks [grin] A wonderful book this is a book in the "inspirational" genre. It has good characters that end up being more believable as the story goes on. It seems like it could fall into stereotypes and typical characters then they develop realistically. The church people are caring and the growing sense of faith in the teenage girl, Angel and the "daddy" is gradual, real and heartfelt. A little Depression history and facts wove into the story and made me feel the times. This book was enjoyable and I will miss the characters. Story chosen because of narrator I chose this book because I have enjoyed the narrator so much in the series of "At Home in Mitford" books. The narrator was enjoyable as I had expected but I found the story to be a bit far-fetched and seemed like it was strung along too far. It was interesting enough, but I was ready for the ending. I probably wouldn't recommend it as highly as many others I have listened to.

New Orleans may be the "Big Easy", but nothing about it was ever easy for international business etiquette expert Chloe Ledet. She moved away years ago, leaving her parents and their famous French Quarter restaurant behind. But when she hears that her father has been shot, she races home to be by his side and to handle his affairs, only to learn a long-hidden secret that changes everything she knew to be true about herself and her family. Framed for murder, Chloe and a handsome Cajun stranger must search for a priceless treasure, one whose roots weave through the very history of Louisiana itself. But can Chloe depend on the mysterious man leading her on this cat-and-mouse chase into the heart of Cajun country? Or by trusting him, has she gone from the frying pan into the fire? This exciting standalone from best-selling inspirational author Mindy Starns Clark is full of Cajun mystery, hidden dangers, and the glow of God's unending grace. Members Reviews: Good clean mystery This book was a little hard to get into at the beginning but developed into a good read. The best part is there is no profanity or bad language of any kind. Isn't is amazing that there are still authors that can tell a great story without filling it with offensive situations and bad language. Thank you Mindy Starns Clark. Unexpectedly good I enjoyed the storyline - even though I often got annoyed with the main character's "quick to judge/dismiss" personality. Yes, there is a religious element to the story, but I didn't feel like it was extremely overt or off-putting. What I couldn't stand was the narrator at first. Towards the end, the accents began to come through, but for a story of New Orleans, Creole and Cajuns, I want some GREAT accents. Good Book I have enjoyed all of Mindy Starns Clark's books. This one was no exception. History, romance, treasure, and a good mystery topped off with a terriffic setting, what's not to like. Ms. Clark writes in a way that generally keeps me second guessing all the characters motives until the end. Although I had an idea of "who dunnit" fairly early in the book, I kept second guessing myself until the culprit was revealed. annoying heroine, overt religious agenda Nowhere in the reviews that I read was it mentioned that this is a Christian novel. I don't mind having some religion in a book, but I really don't like being preached at. The heroine was silly and credulous, the hero over the top, and I'm regretting the money I spent on this one. Worst book ever This person has no talent for writing and the reader has no talent for reading. This book wouldn't have been worth a nickel at a yard sale let alone a paperback sale. I am extremely sorry that I wasted $5.95 on it. I only gave it one star so that I could make this statement.

Title: Naomi's Gift Subtitle: An Amish Christmas Story Author: Amy Clipston Narrator: Kimberly Farr Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-11 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you'll meet the women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County. As each woman's story unfolds, you will share in her heartaches, trials, joys, dreams... and secrets. You'll discover how the simplicity of the Amish lifestyle can clash with the 'English' way of life - and the decisions and consequences that follow. Most importantly, you will be encouraged by the hope and faith of these women, and the importance they place on their families. Naomi's Gift re-introduces 24-year-old Naomi King, who has been burned twice by love and has all but given up on marriage and children. As Christmas approaches - a time of family, faith, and hope for many others - Naomi is more certain than ever her life will be spent as an old maid, helping with the family's quilting business and taking care of her eight siblings. Then she meets Caleb, a young widower with a 7-year-old daughter, and her world is once again turned upside-down. Naomi's story of romantic trial and error and youthful insecurities has universal appeal. Author Amy Clipston artfully paints a panorama of simple lives full of complex relationships, and she carefully explores cultural differences and human similarities, with inspirational results. Naomi's Gift includes all the details of Amish life that Clipston's fans enjoy, while delivering the compelling stories and strong characters that continue to draw legions of new readers. Members Reviews: Delightful Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I wouldn't recommend this book to all friends, but I would definitely recommend to my Christian friends that like tender love stories. What did you like best about this story? I love the Amish theme and the cooking and caring of all...the warmth that emanates takes me back to a simpler time when people looked out for others rather than themselves. What three words best describe Kimberly Farrs performance? The three words that come to mind are: warm, gentle, convincing. That aside, some good sound effects would have added to the overall experience, like background noise at social gatherings and the clip-clopping of horses hooves when riding in the buggies. If you could take any character from Naomi's Gift out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would like to take Suzie so I could hear what's going on in her little head...although she's very outspoken and does reveal her thoughts regularly. Any additional comments? Like all Amish stories, Naomi' s Gift is warm and inviting and you feel part of the tight-knit community. I love spending Christmas with the Amish family found within the pages of this book. Excellent Amish Christmas Story This Amish book is well written and brings a true holiday feeling to the listener. The Narrator does a great job bringing the characters to life. Nice idea The story was a nice idea but it was written in a rather boring way. The narrator does well with female voices, but the male voices needed some work.

In Promises to Keep, 11-year-old Rosalind finds 70-year-old Tillie on her front porch - again. Wanting to die in the place where she lived for half a century, Tillie continues leaving her senior living complex and finding her way home. Annoyed at first, Rosalinds mother finally lets Tilly live with them. And when danger nears, Tillie selflessly determines to protect the family she has adopted as her own. Members Reviews: Love and Real Family Roz, who's eleven years old wants her daddy . . . what girl doesn't? And she, her brothers and her mother have left him and moved to a new town . . . where her mom now has a job . . . Her daddy cried like a baby when they left . . . he said he'd change . . . Now, of all the things, Tillie, the old woman who used to own the house that they've bought, comes sitting on the front porch, saying it's HER house. Tillie wants to die in their house. She and her husband built that house. Well, her mom needs a babysitter . . . so I guess Tillie's moving in!

And Roz' new friend, Mara has some daddy dreams of her own . . . so they make a pact, they will keep each other's daddy dreams a secret. It's just that some things about daddy just don't exactly add up . . . The insights of an adult, told through the voice o Where does Promises to Keep rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is one of the best I've read in a long while, and as good as Tatlock's I'll Watch the Moon or All the Way Home. What was one of the most memorable moments of Promises to Keep? The last few chapters were great, but could only have been so because Tatlock wove such a gripping story with such great characters. Which scene was your favorite? Tilly to the rescue! I'll not give it away. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Too many to mention. Any additional comments? I love the warmth of Barbara Caruso, and often buy a book because of her reading. She obviously pays close attention to the characters in the books she narrates, which is a bonus for the listener. Promises of longing and hope Would you listen to Promises to Keep again? Why? Yes. I read this book in print and enjoyed it. The narration was OK, but Tatlock can weave a coming-of-age tale with longing and hope in such a way that a so-so narration doesn't destroy it. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Her narrative passages were pretty good, but her dialogue was prety weak. Also, it's hard to listen to an older narrator try and play so many young characters. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Both laugh and cry in spots. Any additional comments? I am not a big Barbara Caruso fan, but this book stands up to her mediocre performance. It is a wonderful read, full of the hope and longing and denial of a young girl who is having to understand a grown-up world that she really doesn't want to know. Even placing this book in 1967-68 indicates the changing morres of a society whose youth wholeheartedly embrace change while the grown-up world wants to stay separate.

Members Reviews: The Chase Is On Wonderful story line and great characters. Narrator was great. I like it when the narrator is able to change their voice for each character. Great Story What did you love best about The Chase? Ms. Mills took an overused premise (author/or actor shadowing FBI) and turned it into a fantastic storyline with well developed characters. I enjoyed how she worked the theme of the need for God into the lives of people who felt they could wait until later, without the book becoming "preachy". Occasional reader I enjoyed this book immensely: the characters, the storyline and the suspense. I look forward to reading the next one in this series. Filled With Action Loved the boook. ..Great reader. Can't wait to listen to Book 2 in the series. The Chase Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes. The story was easy to follow and the characters were believable with a believable dilemma. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I wasn't surprised. What about Laurel Merlingtons performance did you like? Nice choice as the reader. Could you see The Chase being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No.

A leap of faith. Together, they propel two young women to chase a new life - one that's reimagined from what they might have become. In turn-of-the-century America, a young girl dreams of a world that stretches beyond the confines of a quiet life on the family farm. With little more than her wit and a cigar box of treasures, Mable steps away from all she knows, seeking the limitless marvels of the Chicago World's Fair.

A quarter of a century later, Lady Rosamund Easling boards a ship to America as a last adventure before her arranged marriage. There, the twenties are roaring, and the rich and famous gather at opulent, Gatsby-esque parties. The Jazz Age has arrived, and with it, the golden era of the American circus, whose queen is none other than the enigmatic Mable Ringling. When Rosamund's path crosses with Mable's and the Ringlings' glittering world, she makes the life-altering decision to leave behind a comfortable future of estates and propriety, choosing instead the nomadic life of a trick rider in the Ringling Brothers' circus. A novel that is at once captivating, deeply poignant, and swirling with exquisite historical details of a bygone world, The Ringmaster's Wife will escort listeners into the center ring, with its bright lights, exotic animals, and a dazzling performance that can only be described as the Greatest Show on Earth! Critic Reviews: "Vibrant with the glamour and awe that flourished under the Big Top in the 1920s, The Ringmaster's Wife invites the reader [into] the Greatest Show on Earth." (Joanne Bischof, award-winning author of The Lady and the Lionheart) Members Reviews: Great Read An excellent book. Well written, intriguing and simply a great read. This book grabbed me from the first page and kept me entertained throughout. Even through it was all about the circus, I thought Kristy Cambron had enough diversity and intrigue to keep the reader thoroughly entertained, while at the same time taking time to lay out the plot in an insightful manner. It was one of those books that I hated to end. Great book! Can't wait for more from this author. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT !!!! I purchased this book because I was hoping it would contain details about the Big Top back in its hay day. I thoroughly enjoyed Water for the Elephants and all the historical details it provided about life in the circus. If you're looking for that in this story, you'll be severely disappointed. Hardly any interesting details where included although it does follow the life of John and Mabel Ringling. The storytelling was written like a harlequin novel without the bodice wripping effect. This book also contain one cliche after another.... Ridiculously written. Grace and love This story pulls you in. It is a sweeping saga that tells the untold story of the circus. It deals with deep emotions and decisions that change the lives of the characters. Mabel is an uncommon woman. The effect she has on each character is what holds the story together. I couldn't stop listening!

Title: The Pilgrim's Progress Author: John Bunyan Narrator: Philippe Duquenoy Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-16 Publisher: A.R.N. Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The Pilgrim's Progress is written as a dream by author John Bunyan, a strict religious man with Puritan beliefs who began writing the book while imprisoned for his religious convictions. The dream is of a man named Christian who is tormented by spiritual anguish. A spirit guide appears to him and explains to him the path he must take to salvation. Christian, intent on completing the spiritual journey the spirit guide has set forth for him, decides to leave the City of Destruction and make way for Mount Zion, where spiritual awakening awaits him. The novel, divided into several acts, takes the listener through the many tests that Christian must endure on his way to his spiritual freedom. Some of these include falling into a bog, being tempted to live without religion by wise men, and learning lessons of faith. On his journey, Christian is able to witness Christ's tomb, and cross where he unburdens himself and gains entry into the celestial city. On his way are more dangers to be faced including vanity, monsters, Shadow of death, ignorance, and judgement. He is also joined by several other pilgrims, some who enhance his walk, and some who are lost along the way, before finally reaching his destination at the peril of others. Members Reviews: If you are like me though Pilgrim's Progress is a classic that is just as powerful today as it was when it was first written in 1678. If you are like me though, you have struggled with the reading of this beloved book. The way we speak now has changed a lot through the years and sometimes picking up a book from a different time period can be challenging to read. I am excited to tell you about the new publication of Pilgrim's Progress. It is updated, in Modern English, but still has the original illustrations. This made such a huge difference for me. What an enjoyable read it was! I did find myself, especially at the beginning, comparing it to the original text. I wanted to see for myself how much it was changed and amazingly, very little. It's tweaked just enough to make it easy to read for today's readers. Another very unique feature about this new publication is the Bible verses that are added to the text. I'm not talking about just a Bible reference either. Entire verses including where they are found in the Bible are throughout the whole book. For example: In my dream, I saw a man clothed with rags standing in a certain place, with his face turned from his own house. In his hand he held a book, and he bore a great burden upon his back. (For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. -Psalm 38:4) This was such an amazing aspect for me. It enriched the reading in such a spiritual way. I applaud whoever came up with the idea to do this. I'm sure it took a lot of work and study, but it was well worth it. Pilgrim's Progress is not a quick read. It is something to be savored. To be meditated upon. I found myself reading some of the lines/paragraphs more than once. Then I would sit and close my eyes and think on it. If you allow it, it can speak volumes to your heart.

They're soft. Delicate. But the secret thing about feathers is...they are very strong." In the pre-Katrina glow of New Orleans, Amanda Salassi is anxious about chaperoning her daughter's sixth-grade field trip to the Big Easy during Halloween. And then her worst fears come true. Her daughter's best friend, Sarah, disappears amid the magic and revelry - gone, without a trace. Unable to cope with her guilt, Amanda's daughter sinks into depression. And Amanda's husband turns destructive as he watches his family succumb to grief. Before long, Amanda's whole world has collapsed. Amanda knows she has to save herself before it's too late. As she continues to search for Sarah, she embarks on a personal journey, seeking hope and purpose in the wake of so much tragedy and loss. Set amid the murky parishes of rural Louisiana and told through the eyes of two women who confront the darkest corners of humanity with quiet and unbreakable faith, The Feathered Bone is Julie Cantrell's master portrait of love in a fallen world. Members Reviews: This Book was awesome!!! What made the experience of listening to The Feathered Bone the most enjoyable? The realness of the story. The book led you through many emotions. What did you like best about this story? The level of faith displayed from the characters. Also, in the mist of a hopeless situation, the characters remained faithful. Which character as performed by Clifton Harris was your favorite? Sarah Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It began to pick up and I could not stop listening after Chapter 3, when Sarah went missing. Any additional comments? I cried, cheered and went from hopelessness to hope in my personal story. Will remind you that you are stronger than you think you are. This book ripped my heart out and made me cry............many times, but in the end reminded me that we should never lose hope and to never forget that no matter what happens to us in this life on earth...... that we are always loved. With hope we can get through. With love we will find strength. A Different Christian Story Of Faith I really enjoyed this story...the faith of Sara is amazing. Coming from a background similar I immediately connected with Amanda. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is I felt there were times in the story that the author was verbose-made me wonder if she got paid by the word se wrote. Engaging From the Start This book covers some tough topics yet offers hope. It was a very engaging from the first page. Almost quit the book, so glad I didn't! Would you consider the audio edition of The Feathered Bone to be better than the print version? Did not read the print version, audio version was excellent. Who was your favorite character and why? Jay, he was kinda like God was throughout the book, always there. Any additional comments? I almost quit the book after Ellie's incident. It took me several days to go back, so glad I did, great story and great message.

Seeing how far he has digressed from the man his parents raised, can Joel return to the faith he once held and break the grip money and possessions have had on his life? Will his family and Kristi believe he is able to change after causing them so much pain? Members Reviews: The best part for last. The Selfless Act by Wanda Brunstetter is the last book in the series of the, THE AMISH MILLIONAIRE and you will find it to make you very happy about the way that it has ended. I know you have enjoyed the first five parts so I know you are going to hate to see this being the last. I for one will hope that more about all the ones is these books will come out in another book but this time just one book about everyone. I want to ask that everyone that has this series makes a review on each or at least on all six books as one. Please when you do your review ask others to read an to enjoy an also ask them to make a review an to then also let the author know how much you liked her books an that they also make a review letting others know about this series. When I first started reading this series I was taken right from the beginning and knew that I was going to really love it. I how The English Son is a 6 part series that is written by Wanda Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter. I was going to write a review for each book, but I felt that I needed to finish each book before I could really write what needed to be said. When I first started reading this series I was taken right from the beginning and knew that I was going to really love it. I however, wasn't prepared for the the twist that were taken in this heartwarming series. In the first book we meet Joel a young Amish man you has been living in the English world for some time now. Joel has fallen in love with a lovely girl. who he plans to marry. When Joel gets his priority's mixed up it causes friction between his Amish family, his girlfriend and Joel may find himself alone and angry. Wanda and Jean do a remarkable job bringing each character to life for you to fall in love with and become frustrated with. I really enjoyed reading each book and couldn't wait for the other to come out. I hope to see further writings by this duel. Like all family The Amish Millionaire is a series of six books about an Amish family who copes with the death of the father and the distribution of assets. One of the children has gone out to the world and wanted his money right away. They can't find the will which makes it harder. Like all family, there is problems and solutions. I adored all six of these books and found the series quite enjoyable. The Amish Millionaire Loved the series but sadly will be the last books by Wanda I will buy. With all the fans Wanda has I think it is a shame to break them up like this to just add to sales. I know all of us who are fans of Wanda's would appreciate not having this done again.

But she never thought that future might take them away from their Amish community. Miriam could have had her pick of any of the eligible bachelors in Lancaster County. But she only has eyes for one: Saul. He captured her heart years ago, and shes never looked back. Even when rumors circulate that Saul may leave their Amish community to pursue a once-in-a-lifetime apprenticeship, Miriam makes a bold assertion: she will stand by him, whether he stays or he goes. Saul Fisher has experienced an inordinate amount of loss in his short life. Raising his two brothers and caring for a grieving father who privately seeks solace in the comfort of his homemade wine, Saul has kept his fathers drinking from the community. But if he leaves Lancaster, the burden of secrecy will be left to his young brothers. How does he balance this with the dream that burns bright within him? As Miriam and Saul consider leaving their lives behind, God starts revealing things to Miriam that make her think twice about what it means to be a Daughter of the Promise, and what it means to make a home. Members Reviews: Narrator has a poor voice. I enjoyed this clean series very much. In this last book, the narriator sounded like she had a clothes pin on her nose. Maybe she had a cold, I don't know, but it was annoying. disapointed in this book Liked the books before this one. This one not so much...reader doesn't have Amish enunciations. She sounds like it could be any person reading any book not Amish books. They have a distinct accent and way of speaking which puts me in the book with the characters. And again Lancaster is lank-ester. NOT Land-caster. If I wanted to listen to a regular story this would be O.K. but it does not have the Amish feel I look forward to when listening to Amish books. Good Would you listen to Plain Proposal again? Why? I am ready for the next book. Who was your favorite character and why? I like them all. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Want Beth Wiseman to write the next one.

After years of frustration from life in a church fishbowl, Annie McGregor walks away from it all and boards a plane for Colorado. She has no way of knowing her college sweetheart is headed to the same cabin in the Rockies, terrified and gravely wounded. Their unexpected reunion couldn't have come at a worse time. Or could it? Bewildered that God would allow Michael Dean to walk back into her life, Annie pleads with Him to keep her heart true to her husband and her family. God answers her prayer, but in a way she would never expect. Written by a former pastor's wife, Annie's story provides a rare look inside the family life of those in the ministry, particularly the unique pressures on those who marry men of God. Members Reviews: Really bad The narrator made the book worse than it had to be. She was terrible. The story was silly, far fetched and immature. Not a fan Brilliant! I was completely engrossed in this story from the very beginning to the end. You won't be disappointed! Poorly narrated and poorly edited I was disappointed in the quality of the narration of this book. The voices were just weird, and the narration included a lot of pauses where it didn't make sense to have a pause. Also there was one place where there was clearly an editing mishap, when the narrator said, "Let's go back to..." The story itself was somewhat contrived. I wanted to see a little more growth in the characters. I hated seeing them always at each other's throats. Not everyone deals with anger and frustration the same way and it would have been nice to see a little more variability in the characters. Also There were some loose ends that were just left hanging. On a positive note, Annie's frustration and loneliness was well portrayed and seemed appropriate for her character. If you decide to read this book, i highly recommend skipping the audio. You will probably like it much better that way. Good This was the first one of this authors books that I have read. It was good with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. There were some places where I felt it was l little bit too dramatic. However, I liked the story and enjoyed listening to it.

Beneath the floor of the South China Sea, around the contested Spratly Islands, billions of gallons of natural gas wait to be mined. But at the center of the Spratlys, the remote but strategic island of Itu Aba is occupied by Chinas historic enemy, Taiwan. When the new, power-hungry Chinese President, Tang Qhichen, orders Chinese Naval forces to attack Taiwanese forces on Itu Aba, U.S. President Douglas Surber responds, ordering the U.S. Seventh Fleet to try and quell a burgeoning naval showdown between the two Chinas. Aboard the submarine tender U.S.S. Emory S. Land, one of the first ships in the naval war zone, is Ensign Stephanie Surber, a recent Naval Academy graduate who is also the First Daughter of the United States. As the Emory S. Land steams into harms way, Ensign Surbers life is gravely threatened. The President must make a decision. Will he take a stand against evil? Or will he save the life of his daughter? Members Reviews: Outstanding This was a wonderful book with an outstanding presentation. Don Brown is a exceptional author. I look forward to my next read of his work. Not even Dick Hill Could Save This One When it comes to Audible books, my husband and I are like a Venn Diagram. We each have books that we individually like and most that we both like. With a library of 800 books It has been unusual for us both to abandon a book before we finish it. Neither one of us could stand this one but not for the same reasons. He hated the preachiness; I disliked the characters and the far fetched plot. I honestly do not understand the ratings this book received. Engaging story taited by misogyny & excess prayer Would you try another book from Don Brown and/or Dick Hill? No I would not. Good story, but ruined by all the constant prayer. I would expect in life or death situations that there should be references to prayer and faith. But this just went well beyond that required for storytelling. Furthermore, all the women characters were portrayed as weak and emotional. Even the first daughter. Was made worse by Dick Hill's inability to voice a female as anything other than meek and submissive. What was one of the most memorable moments of Fire of the Raging Dragon? I greatly enjoyed the sequences of military combat. One really doesn't think about the challenges faced by a naval captain when it comes to decisions of shoot/don't shoot. What didnt you like about Dick Hills performance? I couldn't not stand the way he voiced the president's daughter. He made her sound so meek, unsure of herself, and emotional. At the times when she was probably meant to take a strong stand, he made her out to sound like a little 5 year old saying "daddy, I'm a big girl!" which I would hope was not what the author intended. Was Fire of the Raging Dragon worth the listening time? If you can put up with the constant praying, horrible portrayal of women, and occasional jabs at the left wing, sure. It was a great story. You just have to put up with a lot of what seems to me to be antiquated ways of thinking that goes along with it. Any additional comments? If your a chauvinistic, strongly Christian, military man from the 1980's you will love this book.

Dr. Matt Newman thought he was leaving his life as a surgeon in private practice for a better one in academic medicine. But the kidnappers who attacked him as he left the hospital at 2 a.m. have no such plans - they just want him dead. Bound and in the trunk of his car, Matts only thought is fleeing with his life. He does escape, but at a price: a head injury that lands him in the ICU...where he awakens to discover hes being charged with murder. Sandra Murray is a fiery, redheaded lawyer who swore she was done with doctors after her last relationship. But when Matt calls, she knows she cant walk away from defending someone who is truly innocent. Matts career is going down the drain. His freedom and perhaps his life may be next. But with the police convinced hes a killer and the kidnappers still trying to finish what they started, finding the truth - and the faith to keep going - will be the toughest stress test Matt has ever endured. About the author: A retired physician, Dr. Richard Mabry is the author of four critically acclaimed novels of medical suspense. His previous works have been finalists for the Carol Award and Romantic Times Reader's Choice Award, and have won the Selah Award. He is a past vice-president of American Christian Fiction Writers and a member of the International Thriller Writers. Critic Reviews: "This is a terrific read, by a surgeon who clearly knows his stuff as a doctor and his craft as a writer. (Michael Palmer, New York Times best-selling author of Oath of Office) Members Reviews: Highly Recommend As a Christian it is hard to find action packed Christian adventure stories. This book delivers. It is a great book with a great message with a lot of adventure. I eagerly await his next book. Wrong Place Wrong Time for this character This main character has nine lives for sure....some of the secondary characters were weak but the overall plot was good and then end result was pulled it all together. Not my favorite narrator though. Initially Tolerable, then... The story was interesting for the first half of the book. There are lame, cringe-worthy metaphors sprinkled throughout, but not enough to choke on. And then... cheesy christian messagesmild and quick at firstincrease in frequency and become embarrassingly transparent and pedestrian. Three quarters in, I became so sick of the crap, I gave up. I wont waste my time with this tripe! Medically sound, story lacking Excited to read a book written by a doctor. The book was medically accurate and interesting but the story disjointed. You never get a clue about who is involved in trying to get the main character until the very end of the book. The other characters out to get him were not well developed and the story lines did not intertwine for the reader to see the relationship. If it wasn't literally spelled out at the end it would still be a mystery why this MD was being targeted. Would have liked to see the bad guys side explored further to understand the missed identity and yet still have suspense as a reader. The police aspect and details felt sloppy and hard to believe the ineptitude. Pretty average This is a basic thriller, as described on the box. I thought the characters were just a bit flat and dull.

Rick is the answer to her prayers. This was a good romance with enough suspense to keep you listening until the end. The narrator made the story very interesting. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review via audiobook boom. Great story line...music was distracting Wonderful story, however, the music ending a chapter and between chapters was annoying and distracting. The second book of the series was even better, so I would urge someone to overlook the music! It's worth it! And the second book (which I just completed) does NOT have the music. Great story! i enjoyed the story immensely. I did struggle with the music at the end of each chapter. I found it distracting. want a movie If you could sum up Lonestar Sanctuary in three words, what would they be? descriptive, love, faith What other book might you compare Lonestar Sanctuary to and why? none that i can think of Which scene was your favorite? When Betsy spoke made me cry Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes I did but read in 2 Excellent story Me and my husband listened to this together and loved the story. It had just the right amount of suspense, action, mystery and love. We wouldn't change a thing about the story but could have done without the music before and at the end of every chapter, but even with that I would strongly recommend this to anyone who loves a good story with lots of twists.

Title: Cowboy Charming Subtitle: Cowboy Fairytales, Book 2 Author: Lacy Williams Narrator: Lara Asmundson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Lacy Williams Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: There's nothing glamorous about Ethan Townsend's life. At 25, he's given up his college education and pretty much everything else to run the family dairy farm in north Texas and provide for his two spoiled stepbrothers. When he meets a real-life princess, he can't help but be attracted to her beauty -even though he knows she's way out of his league. Princess Mia of Glorvaird is visiting the States to help manage her sister's upcoming engagement ball. As a bonus, she can escape the media blitz over her last-very public-breakup back home. When she meets hard-working Ethan, she realizes she's been looking for love in all the wrong places. Even though attraction sparks, how can Ethan expect to build a real relationship with a princess? Especially when his stepbrothers sabotage him at every turn? Cowboy Charming is a contemporary western retelling of the Cinderella fairytale. Members Reviews: Such an adorable princess romance! I am thoroughly hooked on this series of audiobooks. It is so charming, and it makes me feel happy. This short audiobook (almost 3 hours) is "clean" - no sex, just kissing. There not even a mention of sex, and the two primary characters are virgins in their 20's. Somehow, this situation feels totally plausible while listening to this story. There was barely any mention of God, so I do not classify it as a Christian romance, although Christian romance readers would probably like it. I would call it a sweet contemporary romance with a fairy tale plot. This Cinderella story has a man (Ethan) as the downtrodden, self-sacrificing good guy who is badgered by his two ungrateful younger stepbrothers. Ethan's parents had died when he was young. Then, when he was 19, his unpleasant stepmother died, and he volunteered to become guardian to his 9- and 10-year-old stepbrothers, delaying his dream of becoming a veterinarian. He meets Mia, a princess of a small European kingdom. She is visiting her sister Alessandra, who is engaged to an ex-Navy SEAL who runs a ranch in Texas (see Book 1). Mia has been unlucky in love and does not want to rush into a relationship with the wrong man again. Both Mia and Ethan are so likeable and have admirable characteristics. Although this audiobook is not perfect, I was highly entertained by it. There are short bits of awkward wording, and the writing might be a bit too simplistic sometimes. However, this story really cheered me up. Mia and Ethan were so sweet together! The narrator was pretty good. To my Southern ears, her Texas accents seemed very authentic. She did not attempt to give the European princess a European accent, but I was able to ignore that snafu after a short time. She was passable at men's voices. She occasionally made the book sound a little too hokey with how she sometimes pauses and overemphasizes certain words in a sentence. Still, I think the narrator has a very pleasant voice, and I was mostly pleased by her performance. This series is best listened to in order because there are a couple of story arcs that stretch beyond each novella. Also, some characters from Book 1 get a couple of chapters in this Book 2, which I enjoyed. I also liked how the last scene of the audiobook is a teaser for what will happen in the next novella.

The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel Audiobook by Hiram J. Bertoch

Title: The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel Subtitle: For The Strength of The Hills, Volume 1 Author: Hiram J. Bertoch Narrator: Rebecca Vail Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-05-13 Publisher: Hiram Bertoch Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Ten year old James is amused by the Mormon preachers who visit his mountain homeland. A small community that lay protected from outsiders by towering Alpine mountains. The strength of these mountains has allowed James' people to thrive for centuries in the face of terrible persecution from outsiders. Now James' family faces a new and unexpected threat. One that many in the community fear will be more dangerous than anything that has come before. Mormon Missionaries have come to their mountain. Members Reviews: Original Christian - From the Mission of Lorenzo Snow I truly enjoyed this novel, a story of the Christians who lived the the tops of the Alps, eking out survival in tough circumstances that they might keep the their religion, begun in the days of Jesus Christ, pure. Written from the perspective of the youngest member of one mountain family. Well worth the read. Good LDS book If you could sum up The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel in three words, what would they be? It helped open my understanding of what the new converts to the church went through. It wasn't a true story which I didn't figure out until the end but it was well done. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel? The character of the father was the most memorable because I've known people like that but its rare. What aspect of Rebecca Vails performance would you have changed? I finished a few books by Katherine Kelgrin and it's hard to listen to anyone else because she is amazing so I didn't find RV's story telling near the performance of KK. Not RV's fault but KK is a tough act to follow. Horrible ending I loved this book. However the end was left very open. And it doesn't even hint at a second book. I did not like how the book ended. spiritual and historical story a story of conversion of mountain families with roots dating back to the time of Christ. good reader. Historically interesting, realistic Where does The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Compared to other novels I have read, it earns a 2 out of 5. It had a realistic human element and presented the inner thoughts of the main character from a believable perspective. Kate Morton's Secret Keeper would get a 5 from me because it kept me guessing up to the last paragraph. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd would also earn a 5 created such a visual picture for me, kept me interested and addressed the slavery problem. What other book might you compare The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel to and why? I might compare this to The Work and the Glory Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Rebecca Vail? The best narrator I've heard was in Sue Monk Kidd's "The Invention of Wings", narrated by Jena Lamia, Adepero Oduye, Sue Monk Kidd. Not certain who was the primary narrator, but man, she was good! If you could rename The Mountain Christians: An LDS Novel, what would you call it? I liked the title. It fit well. Any additional comments? I would read the sequel.

Jesus Audiobook by Deepak Chopra

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/714/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Jesus Subtitle: A Story of Enlightenment Author: Deepak Chopra Narrator: Deepak Chopra Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-08 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Very little is known or recorded about Jesus in his formative years. In the Gospel stories, we witness the birth of Jesus and then see him as a young boy of 12 intensely questioning the Rabbis in the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Jesus does not reappear until age 30, when he emerges as the potent and stirring rebel baptized by John at the River Jordan. What happens to Jesus in those lost years? How did Jesus the young boy become Christ the Savior? With his characteristic ability for imparting profound spiritual insights through the power of storytelling, Chopra's Jesus will capture the life of Jesus as never before. Members Reviews: From a scholar Very good. Nice to hear the story of Jesus from someone who has studied religion and spirtuality and has no bias. Chopra's voice is wonderful for narration. Ignore the whiners. Contrary to other opinions here, I find Chopra's accent an asset to the story telling. It makes the story seem a bit more authentic and exotic. Once your ear adjusts to his cadence and pronunciations, it makes for much richer story telling. I gave this four stars because I am only on Chapter 3. I may upgrade to five if the story holds up...but thus far it is a joy to read. Chopra should not have narrated This might be an OK read in print but fails as an audiobook. It's an imaginative tale of how Jesus might have developed consciousness of the divine, but Chopra should restrict himself to narrating his nonfiction. For the novel to work well, the reader would need to be pulled into the tale by great narration and smooth prose, but anachronistic terms, added to the poor narration and uneven prose, kept pulling me out of the story: Jesus says, for example, "that would be megalomania;" Judas tells Jesus, "you're weird," etc. The novel did contain interesting description of conditions of the Roman occupation of the Jews in 1st century CE. Other story elements might offend some Christian traditionalists. And those interested in the historical Jesus will be disappointed: This is a very supernatural Jesus, an eastern-philosophical Jesus, not a social justice, Jewish Jesus. I wish someone would create a novel about the historical Jesus based on the scholarship produced by cultural anthropology and the Jesus Seminar. This isn't it. One hour in its great! I read a lot of spiritual books and they are getting repetitive - yet I am struggling with the application of the concepts... I have recently fallen in love with parable/fiction books with spiritual messages. I have been listening for one hour now and it is truly captivating, well read, with all the suspense of a good parable. I love it and am sure that I will have soon finished! Gotta Love Deepak Chopra I just love the sound of Deepak Chopra's voice, so his narration is marvelous for me. I also love what he's done with this story. He has created such a fascinating narrative around one of human's history's most enigmatic figures. The story is amazing and Deepak's narration makes it seem like we're all sitting around a cozy fireplace or camp fire listening to an amazing story. This book is best consumed in the audio version, in my opinion.

Levi's Will Audiobook by W. Dale Cramer

Dale Cramer pens the tale of an Amish prodigal's struggle for faith and forgiveness. As Will returns to bury his dad, his mind flashes back 42 years to when he fled his Amish heritage, abandoning his unborn child's mother and inflicting pain only a parent can fathom. Now he understands that pain. And he thinks of all those years of silence, all those words never spoken. But as his father lies cold and still, is all hope for healing gone? ©2005 Dale Cramer, published under license from Bethany House Publishers, a divison of Baker Book House; (P)2006 Recorded Books Critic Reviews: "[A] beautiful and original story that neither damns nor praises the Amish but simply presents them. This is accomplished work." (Booklist) "Perhaps his best...Cramer writes with profound simplicity, with poetic rhythm and with demonstrated insight....An incredibly heartwarming story." (Library Review) Members Reviews: Inspirational This is my second Dale Cramer and I enjoyed it as much as the first. His books are called inspirational and I'd agree. This isn't a thriller but in its own way you can't put it down or you, at least, keep thinking about it. The Amish have come to live in the part of Iowa where I grew up and this book gave me a better understanding of what they stand for. And, after listening to this book they stand for lots of good things, a good way of life. As Will strives for forgiveness and comes to accept his life, you can't help but feel good......... Another winner for Dale Cramer! This is our 3rd book by Dale Cramer. We highly recommend this book. The story is excellent, and you certainly get a glimpse into the Amish culture. So glad we have found this new author! Engaging story Worth reading but you can read Levi's history in the Caleb's Daughters series. It gives insight into this books characters Good book, easy to listen to, enjoyable story , Family life, generations, conflict, culture and spirituality well represented in book. Good pacing of story. Well read/performed, but depressing story. What did you like best about Levi's Will? What did you like least? Best: Main character gets right with God, honors his family's ways, tries to make things right eventually. Least: Usually really like Amish stories, but this one was depressing with all the trouble the rebellion caused, mostly blamed on Levi, the patriarch, but I see the truth of "Whoever you are bitter against is who you become like" played out the majority of the time since the book dwells mostly on the the rebellion and consequences and harshness of Levi, and his son, and not as much on the love and forgiveness and grace of God in most Amish books. Most Amish books challenge me to grow in those areas.

You will love growing in spirit with these complex people living the simple life as The Waiting transports you into a world where things arent as simple as they seem. Members Reviews: The Waiting I loved this story and if you like audible books this one is wonderful! The narrator Cassandra Campbell is the best! Doesn't link all the books. Doesn't link the 1st book... And looking like the 2nd doesn't include the 3rd. BUT still a great book! The Not a Sequel What did you love best about The Waiting? This is a very nice story - the characters are well developed and believable. The only thing that I was disappointed in is that it is not a sequel to the first story. Since this is a series, I was surprised to hear that not only were these completely different characters, but it takes place during a different time period. Amish love and mystery. What made the experience of listening to The Waiting the most enjoyable? The characters in the book are believable and I picture them in my head as the book progresses. Very interesting development of the plot from many angles. I would love to have this continued as a series.

His coveted ability means he is the FBI's newest hire, serving as a consultant for their new Paranormal Division. The government is convinced we are not alone in this world. With invisible forces all around, agencies are seeking how to harness that power for their own uses. The mystery swirling around the unseen and unknown has caused much speculation. Some suppose lost souls are wandering the Earth, others believe deceased loved ones never truly moved on, and still there are those who are convinced that aliens have infiltrated our world. Jack Bennett knows better. He knows who and what these powers are. The ancient scriptures talk about a great evil that was conceived in the depths of eternity. There, a great war occurred in a place called Heaven. Lucifer, the ancient serpent, the evil dragon of folklore, was cast out and bound to the Earth and confined to its surrounding atmosphere. Could it be that the evil we see is inspired by a dark kingdom, a demonic spiritual force at war with the human race? Could these princes and rulers of darkness be influencing our world today? Jack Bennett knows this is the truth. He knows because he encounters them every day. Follow Jack Bennett in the first of a five part series as he battles the realm of Hidden Thrones. Members Reviews: Not science fiction as described. This may be Christian Horror, Christian Fantasy, or some other genre. What it's not is Sci-Fi of any form. As to the christian aspect; I found it lacking. While there is plenty of scripture quoted, the dog whistling attacks on current event personalities was disturbing. The revisionist history to stir contempt towards the secular leaders of the world felt manipulative. I would much prefer to read science fiction with richly developed characters using their faith to sustain themselves during trying times, than to read about the supernatural battles fought by superficially strong spiritual gifts. There was nothing in this book that enriched my own walk of faith. Rather the overt manipulation encouraged a sense of contempt towards evangelical charisma...far more of a stumbling block than a stepping stone. I recommend it for all believers saw well as those who ... Hidden Thrones holds the readers interest. The frequent Bible quotations strengthen the possibility that such a story could really be true. I recommend it for all believers as well as those who are hunting for true feelings about this life. Great read!! I loved this book! It was exciting and thought-provoking and the various back stories made impossible to put the it down. I still can't get over one of the plot twists and can't wait for the next book! 5 Stars Plus ! Outstanding ! Well done, well written, good character development. Lots of action, twists, turns and suspense. Hard to put down. Read all 4 books in series in 5 days ! I liked this book very much I liked this book very much. It has drama, romance, intrigue but the most interesting element is the story of good and evil. The spiritual world is represented with angels and demons battling right here on earth. The Bible references are clear and informative. It is a very exciting book and I cannot wait for #2

Through his characters' struggles, questions, and crises, we see firsthand how God uses our worries, anger, doubts, prayers, failures, and longings to help us complete ourselves and feel wholly loved. Members Reviews: Uplifting! Loved it. Loved the way the story unfolded and the character development. It is an uplifting story. uplifting fiction This listen is perfect for a hard day or a weekend. The ending is unusual. A Sweet Story If you enjoyed The Shack you will enjoy this story. Rather predictable in places and very good in other places. Martin reads in a very "matter of fact" way. But I'm not sure that this book should be read in an emotional way. Just boring - start to finish. I kept waiting for something to happen. No real plot, no real story and the FIRST TIME. E V E R . hearing the Holy Name taken in an audiobook. Waste of money and I won't be buying any more from this author. Brings magic to the ordinary I really enjoyed this book. It gives a good example of how God works in people's lives in ways you would never imagine. Two thumbs up.

At midnight they poured down from the heavens, every one a whirling star, ten thousand voices in a sky-borne choir. 'Glory,' they sang, and I felt the bedrock tremble. You popped your eyes open. You peered around, seeking the source of the music and waving your hands as if to catch the stars in them!" Here is a magnum opus of image and emotion: Jesus bringing his father the sacrificial lamb in Jerusalem's temple, Mary desperately searching for her son in the wind-lashed rain, the cry of gratitude from a leper's lips, the loving intimacy of Jesus in prayer, the fury of religious leaders, the agony of an iron crucifixion spike piercing human sinew, Loving son, intimate friend, and brilliant teacher, tender in heart, fierce in anger, wholehearted in joy and in grief, deeply human yet unmistakably divine, this is the Jesus who lives and breathes in this audio. Members Reviews: The VIVID narration matches the MASTERFUL text The author's reading is appropriately, and powerfully merged with his well-crafted, emotionally-gripping writing. I am moved by the light that is inherent in the source (the Bible) of Wangerin's tale. But his storytelling unveils even further light. I have been moved to tears, often, in listening to his, "The Book of God." And now "Jesus" is revealing to me Jesus in ways that I will be eternally grateful for (literally)! :-) Thank you, God, for Your gifts through this author (and actor/narrator)! ...eager to experience all of the author's books... Great listen Would you listen to Jesus again? Why? I've read the print version a couple years back and decided to listen to it this time and really enjoyed it more because you really get the author's meaning when he's reading it to you. Beautiful Walter Wangerin Jr brings the life and times of Jesus alive with vivid detail. Amazing! Good Jesus Novel While it is half truth and half fiction, it does help to visualize Jesus life. Meet the God-Man Messiah. My second time through this audiobook, I am treasuring it just as much as I did at the first. Walter Wangerin Jr. Is my favorite author and my favorite Narrator. The inflections and shades of meaning he had in mind me as he wrote, are flawlessly executed in ways that no narrator could have guessed with any amount of study. The Book of God was the single greatest listening experience of my whole life. And this comes in right behind that one as its natural sequel. Only scoring below it, because of it's length and there not being as much of it. Still, this is not a small book. If the Bible seems hard to relate to, you might want to pick up this audiobook and see if you might be drawn to the Jesus and His friends in a new way. I cherished the Bible before I began this series and fell more in love with it as a result of spending time with the Master and His disciples. If you aren't familiar with the Bible, you should wonder why it is the all-time best selling book in world. You cannot be well read or culturally literate if you ignore the Bible, and here is a gorgeous resource to introduce you to its unfathomable beauty. Save up two credits for this book and "The Book of God" you shouldn't regret it. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

The struggles of individuals that have a misconception of God's Word, how it relates to their lives, and His Great Mercy that He so desperately wants to bestow upon each one of us is the crux of what this triology is about. Give it a try and you too will see why God's Word cannot be Silenced! wonderful book I cannot wait until the next episode. I have listened to Soon and Silenced part one and two. Slow story. Great narration. Story never picked up with any action at all. Slow slow slow. But good voices on the narration. A must read or listen Great story line and I always enjoy to interaction of the scriptures within the book. Very engaging. Christians should vote this explains why awareness of political system is as important as knowledge of the Bible

Contrary to the teachings of church history, do recently discovered ancient parchments indicate Paul - not Peter - was the first Pope? Crucial pages of the Apostle Paul's parchments have gone missing, and rumors of their contents have the world reeling. Dr. Augie Knox is on a quest to find the pages that reveal what God Himself taught the man who would become the greatest apologist in the history of the Christian church. Members Reviews: Once you start hard to stop before you finish! The story is very well-written and the narrator is excellent. I always was sorry when I had to put it down and couldn't wait to pick it up again. Good ending too. PAUL WALKS WITH GOD What a great book! It started off slow, but not too far into it I realized I was hanging on every word. Paul suffers much but never complains. He walks with God, and he comes alive in this book. I highly recommend it. Wonderful I have so enjoyed Jerry Jenkins later works. He again is thought provoking as he was in the prequel to to this work

But after Ben's Kentucky parents tell him startling secrets about his past, he must return to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to answer some troubling questions. When he approaches Paradise's covered bridge, he wonders who's re-hung the old rope swing. Drawing closer, he sees a young Amish woman sitting on the swing. When she turns, Ben is thrilled to see Annie. But as Ben tells her what his parents just revealed, he wonders why Annie smiles at him in shocked disbelief. Members Reviews: technical difficulties; what's wrong with art? What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Stina Nielson is one of my favorite readers, but there were technical difficulties with the editing on this one with some long pauses between some chapters and no pauses between other chapters. Can hear turning pages or swallowing at times. Any additional comments? Would have loved to see the brethren change their harsh, critical, religious bondage, non-Christian attitudes/lifestyles. After all, it is called The Brethren. But, glad for the positives in the story, not focusing on the negatives.

Lords of the Earth Audiobook by Don Richardson

Title: Lords of the Earth Author: Don Richardson Narrator: Raymond Todd Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: From Peace Child author Don Richardson, an unforgettable story of primitive jungle treachery. Another exciting, unforgettable missionary story as Don Richardson shares his experiences of the Stone Age Hell of Java's Jungle! ©2003 Don Richardson; (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: A Spark of Life in a Hidden World Lords of the Earth is a gripping account of Christian missionaries, Stanley Dale and Bruno de Leeuw, and their first contact with the Yali tribes-people of the high mountains of Irian Jaya (Dutch New Guinea). The Yali were a hard-edged warrior dominated society that eked out a primitive existence in the steep walled valleys that protected them from civilization. These occasional cannibals had their world and cosmology utter shaken by the appearance of the two RBMU (Regions Beyond Missionary Union) missionaries and native guides that trekked into their valleys in 1961. Over the next decade, these people saw their warring sectarianism replaced by a loving peace taught by the Christian gospel. Stan Dale is the main protagonist of this hard-to-believe true story. Starting from very humble beginnings in Australia, he fought his way into becoming a smart, strong, but often equally brash soldier. His conversion to Christianity was followed shortly by a call to the mission fields of Papua New Guinea. However, his sternness and treatment of others led him to being let go from not one but two different missionary societies. But when in his third stint on the island he went to the Yali people, he finally found the field God had prepared him for. This account is filled with some absolutely cringe-filled moments as Stan charges into situations that he had no understanding of the underlying context. The greatest lesson this book imparts is that God can use anyone and their foibles for His work. Richardsons portrayal of him drawn from many firsthand accounts and his own acquaintance paint a fair picture of the man. Sometimes this is to his detriment, but also the reader sees how he was uniquely suited for this challenging assignment. His supporting cast of missionaries and native tribesmen are impressive in their resolve to break the power of spirit worship. I dont want to spoil the story, but it truly is amazing from where it starts to where it ends. The thing I loved most was the view into this primitive peoples lives. Their beliefs, their thoughts, the way the villages are arranged appeal deeply to my anthropological curiosities. These black pygmy cliff dwellers reveal their humanity even in the most uncivilized ways. The reader feels drawn to them in the same way the missionaries were. The book on a whole isnt as strong as Richardsons autobiographical account in his book Peace Child, but those who love to read compelling stories of Christs work will enjoy this. The events in this story are barely fifty years old.

"You have to go. Find me, call me...." Jacey and Colin shared the three most intense days of their lives together, waiting for help as Mississippi floodwaters surrounded them. Jacey knew Colin was the love of her life - until her rescue boat went underwater along with Colin's last name and pieces of Jacey's memory. The last thing she remembered was being submerged in water. Again. As Jacey walks down the aisle as the maid of honor in her friend's wedding a year later, the last person she expects to see is Colin. The biggest surprise, though, is that the man of her dreams is not wearing jeans and flip-flops, as he did when he held her through those long nights of the flood. He's the preacher. As Jacey's memories come flooding back, it's almost more than she can take. The fate of the young family trapped with them haunts her. The unwavering honesty - and support - of her best friend, Georgia, forces her to take a fresh look at herself. She's spent her life afraid of love. But this flood is opening Jacey's heart in the most unexpected ways. Members Reviews: Good story I loved the Secret to Hummingbird Cake, the author's first book, and was eagerly awaiting her second novel. It didn't disappoint. While it took me a little bit to get into the story, once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were well written, and while their relational communication issues bothered me (just talk to each other already!) as well as some of their treatment of faith, overall, a delightful read that definitely had me chuckling in a few places, and eagerly awaiting the next novel. Please note, this novel isn't connected to the previous one. It is a stand alone. Heart-warming and funny, this tale proves to be a more-than-satisfactory read! I simply adored this absolutely heart-warming story. Well written with great characters, it kept me fully engaged and laughing out loud. Georgia should have her own series! If you need some laughs or just the satisfaction of a well-spun yarn, you can't go wrong with The Sweet Smell of Magnolias. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. Heartwarming and filled with rich characters. I enjoyed the true-to-life storyline and characters in this book. It brought tears and laughter. Hope and then wonder at how it would ever turn out to be a blessing. And youâll have to read to find out... Great characters and a good story! This was a fun read. Snappy dialogue and characters who came off the page. Especially Georgia, the BFF, not the main character. Would definitely recommend! Never give up on true love! Loved it!!! This book has characters are familiar, you seem to know these people. Great read about true friendship, caring for others and never give up on true love! I laughed, I cried and loved the ending! Can't wait for the next book!

If Sadie does not confess and repent, Leah must tell the church elders, or risk sacrificing her own conscience and reputation. The Betrayal is a CBA best seller from an award-winning inspirational author. ©2003 Beverly Lewis; (P)2003 Recorded Books LLC Members Reviews: a non stop listen i was mesmerized all the way to the prodigal a nice story This is my first Lewis after reading in the Wall STreet Journal that she wrote stories about the Amish. This was a good story, a make you feel good kind of story. The Amish have one commonality with we Englishers, we are all human beings, imperfect yet our very natures feel the good and bad in life. I enjoyed this book, I'm sure I listen to the author again. not for me This story was excruciating and I don't know why I finished it. I was hoping that it would get better. In fairness, I did get a glimpse of Amish life and learned of customs/ traditions. The language was true to Amish speech, but you will find it boring if you are accustomed to modern life and lingo. Read this book to learn about Amish life, but if you are trying to find a juicy betrayal story, you must look else where.

Natan, friend and advisor to King David, receives permission to write David's biography. David has asked Natan to use three sources who knew David before Natan met him. These include Mikhal, the first of David's wives; Shammah, David's older brother; and Nizevet, a member of Shammah's household in Beit Lehem. As he travels to meet Shammah and Nizevet, Natan thinks on how David kept the roads free of bandits, making him remember how David was once a bandit himself. That was when Natan and David met. Natan was a 10-year-old herding his father's goats when his flock wandered into David's bandit camp. David sent Natan home with a message instructing his father to provide food and wine for the bandits. Avigail, David's kind and wise third wife, warned Natan that David would retaliate if Natan's father denied him.... Please note: This is a summary and analysis of the book, and not the original book. Inside this Instaread summary and analysis of The Secret Chord: About the author: With Instaread, you can get the summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes. We read every chapter, summarize, and analyze it for your convenience. Members Reviews: Excellent synopsis Collapsing a work as complex as The Secret Chord into a simple summary guide is no small accomplishment, but it is executed masterfully here. We are given first a very straightforward recitation of what is far from a simple straightforward plot, and from there we get analysis of the characters, the themes, the world of the story and the world of the bible in that time. Characters are analyzed as who they start as, who they become, and what the journey means. "Finally, as a contrast to them both, Natan details the unsullied personality of Shomo, who combines the best qualities of both David and Natan." I love the writing style in this one. "David trash talked the giant with his mesmerizing voice and beaned him with a stone." I never thought of David trash talking before, and now I can't get the image out of my head. I would recommend reading this if you want to see The Secret Chord would appeal to you. It would be good to read it after, to see the story in a compressed form so better to get a holistic view of the work. It is especially useful to book discussion groups or for classrooms (not in lieu of reading the original if it is for school) as this summary covers a wide range of discussion points. "David's glorious but flawed life raises key questions about what makes a good man and leader." I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. ~~ As a somewhat controversial read, this summary is VERY informative ~~ With the original book, The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks, having customer reviews that range from loving it to truly disliking it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) first. Depending on your personal views you may decide to stick with the original story i.e. the Bible. On the other hand, if you are one that enjoys a book that "depicts plenty of violence, including graphic scenes of gory battles and brutal rape" plus depicting David as being the homosexual lover of Yonaton (Jonathan) than the original book might be for you.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Tear-jerker, smile grabber, a feel good story I absolutely loved this book!! I kept it on my Ipod and was often listening when I should have been doing other things ... also volunteered to mow the lawn for my husband, so I'd have an excuse to listen for an hour or more. Noel grabbed my heart and I so wanted her to find herself in God. great how can you not fall in love with this guy? he saves her from poverty and bad guys and horrifying memories! its great! I loved every minute of it! there was some suspense, and some tension and LOTS of romantic moments, with that wonderful Christian flavor. I wish that there was some kind of flag or sign that audible could put on books like this so I could buy them all - knowing they'd make me feel this uplifted (too often, it's a guess and I end up disapppointed.) An Outstanding Read I appreciated the author gradually leading us as the characters learn to understand God's love and mercy. Too often God is portrayed as a Santa Claus. Just pray and it will be healed, solved, found. In this book the central character has deep faith but develops an even deeper relationship with the Lord as the plot unfolds. God, in His infinite wisdom and love, is the hero of the story. He does not always answer overnight, nor does He always answer the way we wish, but He does answer. Surrendering to His will is a central theme. Congratulations to Kristen Heitzmann for writing a believable story about Christians that isn't trite or corny. VERY SLOW READ I had high hopes for this novel after reading it compared to Francine Rivers, "Redeeming Love." It was NOTHING like that. I struggled to stay interested the whole first 15 chapters (that's saying a lot). The story seemed shallow. Too much detail with not enough plot to maintain interest. Didn't flow well. The second half was much better and made the purchase worthwhile but not sure I'd recommend this book by any means. Interesting I wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I first started listening but soon found myself captivated by the characters and story-line. This was an interesting book.

Enjoyed all the books in this series! I enjoyed the story , just always hard to realize how difficult life was in the 1800. This book helps me see how good God is to us and how much we should appreciate all the blessings we enjoy today! great review I really enjoyed all 3 audio books in this series. By the end of the 3rd one, I can't help but hope Zachary will get his story as well. Excellent storytelling and a wonderful series Relying on God for all their family's trials and praising Him for their every joy. an okay but good book another book in the series.. this was a good book...but did not care for it quite as much as the first two...I hope ms snelling will add to the series and get the family back to wyoming! florida was too depressing...really like my books to end well. best part was when the gal fought to see president lincoln to try to save her brother..who really did not want to be saved from the firing squad....her brother seemed so very ungrateful...that is why I hope the author will write a sequel. enjoyed parts, but feel too much was left hanging. at least, this was a christian book without all the sex that some authors seem to think as necessary to their books. best part was when the wife and killed the bear with just one shot while she was fishing...then the engenuity the women used to get the beat back to the cave while all the men were off doing other things!!

Based on the popular movie of the same name, October Baby brings to life powerful themes of hope, love, forgiveness, and redemption. Members Reviews: Longing For GREAT Christian Fiction I'll be honest, I bought this book because it was inexpensive. I didn't really have any expectations for it because there are so many dismal Christian fiction books out there that I didn't want to be disappointed yet again. While the story was decent and relatively well-written, it isn't going to set the world on fire. This book is (surprise!) a book written by Christians, for Christians. If you are a Christian and are looking for a book that won't question your beliefs, by all means get this book; however, that said, I'm really getting tired of books with Christian characters who are so goody-goody as to be laughable. I understand that Christian authors don't want to write characters who might offend other Christians, but come on! There aren't any characters in this book that aren't Christian, or at least on their way. It's just not realistic in this world today. I rarely purchase Christian fiction anymore because Christian authors just can't keep up. And until they can, no one is going to sit up and take notice. Where is an author who can connect with the millions who have become disaffected by the church; people who are holding on to their faith (sometimes barely), but who have to live in this secular world? THAT person will make millions! Guaranteed! The story, while touching in parts, is kind of unbelievable. I know that there are babies born alive from botched abortion attempts, but I have a difficult time believing that they have memories of the trauma that surface in later years. But I'm not a doctor or therapist so what do I know? I also found it a bit strange that her birth mother has often heard a little girl's voice calling to her over the years since the procedure and when she meets Hanna she realizes that it was Hanna's voice she'd been hearing. Um...really??? I have three kids and I hear them calling to me all the time, but that's another story.... A word about the narrator (huge sigh).....Someone must have owed her parents a favor. Rachel Hendrix sounds very young, which is appropriate for this YA book. She also sounds very inexperienced. I would be surprised to find that she had actually read the book first before she recorded this. In many places her reading sounds stilted or just plain odd. My biggest complaint though is that she made absolutely no differentiation between characters; male or female, young or old. All of them were read in her voice, with no change in inflection or tone. Hannah's middle-aged father sounded just like Hanna.

Title: Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist Subtitle: Left Behind, Book 3 Author: Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins Narrator: Frank Muller Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-27-15 Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Only one series will take you to the end of the world as you explore eternal truth: the best-selling Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. Now the entire series is available in an audiobook format. Each abridged audio is read by Frank Muller. It has been nearly two years since the day of the mass disappearances. In one cataclysmic instant, millions all over the globe simply vanished, leaving everything but flesh and bone behind. Nicolae begins as global war has erupted. The Red Horse of the Apocalypse is on the rampage, and the Tribulation Force sets a suicidal course that places them in direct opposition to the rise of Antichrist. Members Reviews: A good read Although I'm not really into the religious thing, I thought that this was a good book. I have read the first two prior to this one and they were good books also. I do plan to read the entire series. The antichrist still doesn't know he's met his match Rayford, Buck and the rest of the gang are back and ready to do battle against for the forces of evil in another wonderful ride in the Left Behind series. As Rayford and Buck continue to appear to be working for Nicolae but are actually working for God they realize that the power of the antichrist is growing. However, due to the power of God so is that of the Tribulation Force and the stage is continuing to set for the final battle. The Tribulation Force is getting ready for the most terrifying event human history. While they are mourning the death of Bruce who was there leader they must also continue to get ready for the tragedies that they know lie ahead. New allies are being discovered and they know they will need all the help they can get. Also Hattie Durham is back in their lives as she is unhappy with Nicolae and Rayford, Buck and the other might believe that she is ready to take Jesus into her heart. However, as you will read it might be more complicated than that. Book three continues the tradition started with book one and continued in book two and that is on the edge of your seat suspense for Christians. And while I would consider the first fifth of the novel a little slow this is still overall and excellent novel and if you are a fan of the first two I would be amazed if you didn't love this story too. Grade A- Riveting albeit slightly repetitive & longwinded As with all books that are the continuation in a longer story, Nicolae carries on the thrilling energy of the Left Behind series. However, I think that the introduction to the book, having the "cut and pastes" of various highlights from the previous books, tends to be very repetitive even though I understand the author is trying to "fill in" folks who just picked up this particular book not having read the previous books in the series. Having past that point, however, the story line continues nicely with the series so far. The pace can be a little slow at times with the thoughts of the various characters revealed in DETAIL by the author. When it does pick up, though, I literally cannot stop reading until the end. I own this book both the kindle and by audiobook (Audible).Over all, this is a great series and has entertained me greatly.

All that changes when her best friend of twenty years, Penny, takes an impulsive trip to seek out her only living relatives in Finland, and brings Sharon with her. The land of reindeer and saunas holds infinite varieties of zaniness for these two unlikely friends, Sharon is a quiet mother of four and Penny was a motorcycle mama before she came to Christ, who return home with a new view of God, a new zest for life, and a big impact on those around them for decades to come. Don't miss other titles in the series. ©2003 Robin Jones Gunn (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Fun plot and fun characters I was surprised that I enjoyed this book so much. The plot was out of the ordinary, the characters were much like my friends and me, I learned a lot about Finnish culture without even trying, and I was inspired to do something new and daring. There were so many funny lines in this book, and I don't know if I would've caught them had I read the book instead of listened to the audio version. I thought the reader did a great job in bringing out the humor. I listened to this book during my morning walks, and I actually looked forward to getting out of bed and exercising. Will definitely read more in this series. Reader needed a Finnish accent lesson What did you like best about Sisterchicks on the Loose!? What did you like least? In August 1982, when fictional Penny first proposed she and Sharon go to Finland, I was actually on my way there to spend a year as an exchange student. As such, I know the country and people well (I lived 30 minutes from Porvoo where Penny's aunt lives). What drove me crazy was the weird accent the narrator was doing. It wasn't remotely like a Finnish accent. The intonation and stresses were all completely wrong, as were the pronunciations of several key Finnish words (like sauna!). It was something like a bastardized Swedish-Norwegian- very aggravating. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robin Jones Gunn? Someone Finnish! Any additional comments? The story was charming and the characters were familiar to me: those poor, sweet women with their small worlds that spin around church and their children. The message to do something to grow yourself away from the kids is so important. Step out of your comfort zone. Learn a new language. Meet people with a different perspective on the world. Very frustrating book What could Robin Jones Gunn have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? This book is beyond words...I tried to return it but wasn't able. The Penny character was flighty and aggravating. I would have thrown her off a fjord and walked away had I been her friend. They go off to an arctic country in the dead of winter without reserving hotels or at least having some idea of what to do once in a new country. So many implausible things happen in this book. I managed to get to the end, but it was like trying to walk through a hoarder's house-too much stuff, not enough air. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sisterchicks on the Loose!? The baby vomiting on the Sharon character in the airplane. Any additional comments? I know the story worked really hard at being funny but it just isn't. A fun read Any additional comments? It is a fun touching story of friendship and adventure.

Nicholas rose to power from the gritty backstreets of Buenos Aires. He controlled everything around him. But the universe had something completely different in mind for Nicholas. Something shattering. Where the Green Star Falls is a visceral tale of survival with the soul of a love story. A gripping and inspirational novel about fate, destiny, and a love so profound it will drive a man to the edge of sanity or salvation. From the Parisian mecca of South America, Buenos Aires, you'll be transported to the mysterious river-lands of Argentina amid the towering Andes Mountains and emerald green waters, where Nicholas will meet his fate head on. He must become the man he was born to be. A-list author William Jack Stephens has lived in the Andes Mountains of Argentina for over a decade, and he tells this spiritually supercharged love story with the most vivid descriptions ever written of Argentina.

The characters are so richly and humanly painted they draw you into the story with them, and won't let you go. You won't want to put this book down. Where the Green Star Falls will remind you of why you fell in love with books. Members Reviews: Absolutely compelling and captivating -- an incredibly insightful novel! The first pages of this novel painted a picture of a harried man. A man whose mind was focused at all times on controlling his life, the lives of those around him, and increasing his wealth. He lost sight of everything except those parts of his life. When the unthinkable happened, this man, now in shock and pain realized how serious his mistake had been. He was not interested in any journey, especially not one back to how he had visualized the rest of his life. He embarked on a journey whether unwilling or not and his way back was absolutely captivating and compelling. The healing was so insightful it presented a lesson every single person can understand and take to heart if they will. So well written! The vivid descriptions of the incredible land known as Patagonia, made it seem right in front of me. The expressive dialogue of his own thoughts and his interactions with the few he allowed were incredibly meaningful and felt like a deep and insightful look into myself. This is a book you will be looking back at, thinking about and rereading a number of times. It's beautifully and vividly written beyond what I can describe. No one should miss an opportunity to read this novel. Learning From Grief This book is a beautiful character study of death, grief and eventual recovery. It deals with the many stages and grief and loss while showing the importance of enjoying each day with your loved ones rather than your "things". People are so precious and not to be ignored. His life of grief shows growth and eventual recovery through the help on unknown friends. The descriptions of the setting is authentic and lovely. It transports you to that location. This is a outstanding study of growth in character. A beautiful book I felt transported to this area. The story was both sad and happy.

Title: Trial by Fire Subtitle: The Omega Series, Book 2 Author: Patience Prence Narrator: Dalen Gunn Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-17 Publisher: Books in Motion Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: After exposing the secret agenda of the New World Order, street-smart reporter Brock Summers finds himself imprisoned as a resister and facing a terrifying choice: receive the mark of the beast or die under the blade of the guillotine. Trial by Fire takes you on an unforgettable journey through the apocalyptic ruins of a Northern California city into the vast wilderness where Brock must decide on which side he will fight. Will he bow down to the beast and take the mark? Members Reviews: GREAT book Trial by Fire is a book that will capture your attention from the first page.. Patience Prence shares Bible scripture to back up her take on the End Times. Her characters seem so real and I was rooting for them throughout the book. I enjoyed the interaction between Brock Summer and Copperhead. This young lady (Copperhead) had to deal with what she thought was real by listening to people instead of reading the scripture. Brock was so patient with her but firm when it was needed. Ms. Prenceâs books are well written, exciting and kept me reading until the end. I always hate to come to the end of a great book and this one doesnât disappoint. If you havenât read SCARS I recommend you do so. As with SCARS, I do highly recommend Trail by Fire. Are you ready? If you have questions about the end times, about the 7 years tribulation, pick up this book and Patience's first book Scars. Each book provides events that will take place during the tribulation and how different people handle the choice for Jesus or satan, as each of us will have to make if we are still here during this time. I found these books easy to read and understand without having to have extensive knowledge of biblical events. They are great books that address situations and how the average person will deal with the situation. I highly recommend them!! Buy this book now, before it sells out! Patience Prence accomplished what I thought could not be done. She overshadowed her SCARS novel with her latest Bible fact based fiction by far. If you aren't yet a believer of the inestible truth of Biblical ancient prophesy unfolding in our lifetime, you will be. By quoting scripture that supports the storyline makes it hard to believe it's fiction. A quick read, because once you start this story, you won't be able to put it down. We'll done Patience, good and faithful servant. Trial by Fire Ended beautifully, only I wanted more. I know this is fiction but some actually think angels married women and produced giants, but of course that isn't scripture. That is man's interpretation. I enjoyed reading of the faithful, chosen and elect. I hope there is another book coming soon. Another wonderful book! This is the second book of Ms Prence's that I have read. It tells of a time that is soon to come, but one which the world will not understand. I pray that many of you will come to know the Lord before that day. In His Service, Gordon T. Eldridge

Will she find the strength to take that risk? ©2007 Lori Wick; (P)2008 Oasis Audio Members Reviews: Meh for a usually steller Lori Wick Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I'd recommend it only if you are looking for an easy to follow story that you can miss part of without loss. Would you be willing to try another book from Lori Wick? Why or why not? I generally love Lori Wick. Some of her earlier books are in my favorites of all time pile. However, this one seemed very very predictable--even for a Christian historical romance. The foreshadowing of Cassidy's backstory was extremely obvious, and her brother's story could have been built up on more. What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator made all of the women's voices so soft that they sounded a little out breath and raspy. Cassidy is supposed to be a strong, independent character. Her wimpy voice did not match, and drove me crazy. It was distracting to the story. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably not. Any additional comments? I was sadly disappointed. This is not up to Lori Wick's usual stellar work. :( So uneventful it is not memorable What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? More of a real secret in her life. More conflict. Has Cassidy turned you off from other books in this genre? No, and I like some of Lori Wick books, but not this one. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cassidy? Pretty much the whole story. Any additional comments? Some books just don't need to be written. I didn't see any purpose in this story. BORING AND PREDICTABLE, What disappointed you about Cassidy? A REAL SLEEPER...I TURNED IT OFF AFTER TRYING TO GET INVOLVED IN THE STORY FOR 6 CHAPTERS! BORING , SHALLOW CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, VERY PREDICTABLE PLOT. I FEEL LIKE I WASTED MY MONEY Has Cassidy turned you off from other books in this genre? NOT NECCESSARILY BUT TO THIS AUTHOR, YES. YOU WOULD REALLY HAVE TO CONVINCE ME TO TRY THAT AGAIN How did the narrator detract from the book? NARRATOR WAS OK nice story Good listen with more suprises than I expected. I plan to listen to several more of Lori's books. Very good christian love story.

Title: Deadly Defense Subtitle: Grace Gaynor Christian Mysteries, Book 1 Author: R. Barri Flowers Narrator: Jane Boyer Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: R. Barri Flowers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Deadly Defense: A Grace Gaynor Christian Mystery is a powerful psychological suspense and legal thriller by internationally best-selling crime writer R. Barri Flowers. Three years ago, Miami defense attorney Grace Gaynor was the victim of a violent sexual assault in which she killed her attacker. She has been undergoing therapy to deal with the trauma. When her therapist Doctor Austin Winchester, whom she had begun to develop feelings for, is arrested and charged with the violent murder of her friend Kara Pedrosa, Grace reluctantly takes on his case for her law firm of Kendall, Francois, and Larosa. She goes up against brilliant Miami-Dade prosecutor Perry MacAlister, a former colleague whom she still considers a friend. He's as tough as they come and believes he has a slam dunk case against the successful psychiatrist, Dr. Winchester. In order to prove otherwise, Grace must call upon all of her considerable skills, faith, and gut instincts to win an acquittal in the face of uncertainties and mixed loyalties. The intriguing and complex storyline, three-dimensional characters, and shocking conclusion will keep listeners engrossed from beginning to end. Members Reviews: Easy read light on mystery Deadly Defense is my first read in the Christian mystery genre. I purchased this book because the author offered a free copy in exchange for a review but I decided to purchase my own audiobook and give this review free of any obligation. I found Deadly Defense to be a quick read over the 2017 Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season. The book introduces a new series by the author featuring criminal defense attorney Grace Gaynor. Gaynor must defend a psychiatrist accused of murdering her best friend. The story moves along at a good pace. The mystery is not so much about who is the murderer but why. There are references to faith in general and having faith in her client but Gaynor does some tracking down of witnesses and builds her case. The Narrator Jane Boyer does a decent job with the different voices; she is not a distraction. Overall a nice light mystery with no graphic violence detailed or sexual content. I will read the next book in this series to see where Flowers takes Grace Gaynor. Narrator needs emotion ..... dull In the main book the protagonist lost her Best Friend to a brutal murder....... still no emotion. Im not sure if the book was written that way or the narrator is just bland!!!!!! Omg she has guts The main character in this story has guts. The dr looked guilty from the get go. But nothing prepared me for the outcome. In a nutshell this is more about trust than anything thing else. And I personally would never trust anyone to the extent she did. Loved the thrill and excitement of this story I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator Exciting suspenseful listen What a great mystery thriller that keeps you guessing and on your toes, as I read I knew the author was trying to push me in one direction but I also knew it was a setup but it sure looked like he did it. I had other people in my sights but one by one they were cleared. When the end came I was totally shock to the outcome. The author gives a very entertaining plot that keeps you guessing until the end with a few shocking moments. Grace has had a hard time dealing with nightmares and life since her attack where she killed her attacker.

And it's about to change Sherry, sweeping her and Clint into a terrifying whirlpool of pursuit and intrigue - one where death and deliverance teeter on a razor edge of circumstance that can either restore or forever destroy Sherry's faith not only in Clint, but in others, and perhaps in God himself. Blind Trust is part of the Second Chances series by award-winning suspense novelist Terri Blackstock. Combining fast-paced reading with realistic characters and situations, Second Chances takes readers to where the conflict between good and evil becomes the proving grounds of faith. Members Reviews: Storyline - weak; narrator - awful! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I cannot imagine any adult thinking this storyline would be believeable, characters have no depth and whine incessantly. What was most disappointing about Terri Blackstocks story? I've enjoyed many of Terri Blackstock's book and was very excited to see so many on Audible.com. The characters of the story were not believeble and the storyline was too predictable. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sandy Burr? ANYBODY! Kris Faulkner did a fairly good job with When Dreams Cross.. What character would you cut from Blind Trust? Sherry Grayson. Any additional comments? While I understand this book is a work of fiction, it does not compare to the other books that this author has written! ugh This is the first novel by this author that I have listened to. And it will be my last. The whinny female lead charactor made it hard to really get into the story. What a test of faith and forgiveness Beautiful story, and Sandy narrated beautifully! I am really looking forward to the next story (the last in the series) Love the book. Love the book. Only thing is sometime the wrong name is said. Should say clint and I would hear cliff engaging story from opening scene to the end. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? YES! This story had drama, emotion, good character development, a well thought out story line and you really felt drawn into the story. What did you like best about this story? mix of drama and then growing relationships with main characters. Which character as performed by Sandy Burr was your favorite? She did a good job with the voices, even the male voices. They were distinguishable from one another. I liked Clint. If you could take any character from Blind Trust out to dinner, who would it be and why? Clint was honest, trustworthy and put God and his plan above himself. This is an admirable quality. Any additional comments? Great read or listen. Author did a wonderful job with this book.

Plenty of suspense, mystery, romance, drama, murder, love and drama and still a redeeming story. refreshing change for a man ... fighting for a marriage Gods way gives hope to those, its not always fiction! Good buy! If you could sum up The Real Enemy in three words, what would they be? Kept my attention... Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Not a edge of the seat book, but still worth the read. What do you think the narrator could have done better? Suppose one person was doing all the narration, but it sounded like several and was exceptional. The only downside was the sherriff, I believe Sam was his name, sounded like Barney Fife. That threw me a little bit, but was overall very enjoyable! The Real Enemy Enjoyed this book very much!

With her love for all things old-fashioned, Jennifer Burns has often been told that she's an "old soul," but no one is prepared for the young woman's decision to set aside her modern life in favor of the Old Order Amish world. Yet Jenny does exactly that, adopting Plain dress and settling in with Samuel and Rebecca Lapp while she works as a mother's helper for the bishop's wife - a far cry from her former job as an x-ray technician. The people of Hickory Hollow are curious about the beautiful young seeker among them, one handsome Amish man in particular. But he is not the only man vying for Jenny's affections, and Jenny faces many challenges in the Proving time the brethren have set for her...challenges of the heart, as well as the spirit. Will Jenny's secrets keep her from the peace she longs for? Or will they lead the way home? Members Reviews: Love this series! I love this series. Great reading/listening. I love the readers voice. She makes the story very authentic. The Secret Keeper Where does The Secret Keeper rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a favorite series of mine. Who was your favorite character and why? Jenny because I can relate to her trials in trying to simplify her life. Which character as performed by Christina Moore and Suzy Jackson was your favorite? I enjoyed Ella Mae, Jenny and Andrew. The narrators voices are pleasant and easy to hear. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I want to listen to every book in one sitting. However I enjoy the length, depth and details of these books. Any additional comments? I'm looking forward to hearing more by Beverly Lewis and by these narrators. I loved it Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret Keeper to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version, but I can honestly say that the audio edition held my attention all the way through and left me wanting more. What did you like best about this story? This story was interesting from the beginning to the end. There were no parts I wanted to skip. Every character was interesting too. Which scene was your favorite? The end. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I didn't feel like crying at any time- but I laughed several times. I guess several scenes "moved" me - but not one particular scene. Any additional comments? It's a very good, clean romance story. The realistic problems and solutions regarding relationships with God, family members, church members, community, friends, and couples made the story great.

His secret traps him in a life that is not his own. Cecily Faire carries the shame of her past wherever she treads, knowing one slip of the tongue could expose her disgrace. But soon after becoming a lady's companion at Willowgrove Hall, Cecily finds herself face-to-face with a man well-acquainted with the past she's desperately hidden for years. Nathaniel Stanton has a secret of his own - one that has haunted him for years and tied him to his father's position as steward of Willowgrove Hall. To protect his family, Nathaniel dares not breathe a word of the truth. But as long as the shadow looms over him, he'll never be free to find his own way in the world. He'll never be free to fall in love. When the secrets swirling within Willowgrove Hall come to light, Cecily and Nathaniel must confront a painful choice: Will they continue running from the past...or will they stand together and fight for a future without the suffocating weight of secrets long suffered? Members Reviews: Just ok Would you try another book from Sarah Ladd and/or Carmel O'Donovan? It was a bit too boring for me. It's one of those books where the characters are completely proper with one tiny peck and the very end of the book. I don't read smutty romance novels, but I do need a little more romance than was in this one. Very predictable storyline. Not my favorite. What didnt you like about Carmel O'Donovans performance? I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and i didn't care for this narrator. It felt like she was simply reading the book to herself. I prefer when it feels like the narrator is giving a performance rather than simply reading the text. Do you think A Lady at Willowgrove Hall needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No Good mystery, better narrator other 2 in series. Any additional comments? This narrator was the better of the 3 in this series, but still had a lot of extra "s" sound which hurts your ears and lots of times when the male/female voices were indistinguishable. Good story I liked the story line even though at times it was hard to follow. Several loose ends kind of left me hanging. The narration was hard to understand as the narrator swallowed some of her words and had very little variation between voices. It would have been great to go to sleep with, but it was almost painful while driving. Enjoyable read Lessons to be learned in this book, like how to treat people, child raising ski!!s and letting God in your life.

Now, eight months pregnant when her first child, she longs to return home for Christmas to reconcile with her family, especially her stern father, who is the religious leader for her former Amish church district. So Anne Mae writes a letter to Kathryn Beiler, her brother's wife, to enlist her help. Kathryn asks her husband, David, if she should arrange Anna Mae's visit. David cautions her that a visit would cause too much stress in the family and instead suggests they visit Anna Mae and her husband in the spring. However, Kathryn arranges the visit anyway, believing in her heart that it's God's will for the family to heal. When Anna Mae arrives in Lancaster for Christmas, she doesn't receive the welcome she expects and her world begins to fall apart, leaving her to question her place in her family -- and her faith in God. A book filled with love, the pain of being separated from one's family, and the determination to follow God's will regardless of the outcome, A Plain and Simple Christmas is an inspiring page-turner that will keep you guessing what happens next...right to the very last page.

The Second Half Audiobook by Lauraine Snelling

Mona and Ken Sorenson are approaching the best years of their lives. Mona's greatest concern is that Ken will learn of the surprise party she's planning for his retirement from his job as dean of students at Stone University. They've already been making plans to travel and spend limitless hours in the garden, and Ken is looking forward to working on his woodworking and fishing with his grandchildren. It's what they deserve after years of careful planning. But things begin to unravel when Ken learns that office politics are about to destroy his department. Can he really just leave, abandoning the work he spent a lifetime achieving? Mona is eager to build her event planning business with Ken's help, but rather than supporting her, he expresses concern that the stress of the work will send her back into the depression she struggles with. Then, just days before Ken's last official day of work, their son, a Special Forces officer in the army, learns he's being immediately deployed on a six-month mission in Pakistan. Since his wife left him, the only people he trusts to care for his two young children are his parents. In an instant everything Ken and Mona spent their lives planning changes, and they will need to find strength, both physical and mental, to become parents once more. This is not the second half they wanted, and when their son fails to contact them as planned, they struggle to trust that it is God's plan, not theirs, that matters most. Members Reviews: Great read I enjoyed the "realness" of this book. The author captured the up to date problems of today. The story is ok This is my second book to read by Lauraine Snelling. The stories are not bad, and I very much appreciate that they are not romance novels! The reader was pretty good on most of the female characters, but not on the men. Ken, in particular, sounded like he was trying very hard not to vomit when he talked. I would much rather the reader did not change voices at all - this was a grating distraction at times. aja I thought there was too much enphasis on mona,s depression. The story line was too predictble. Great story As a grandparent raising her grandchildren I could really identify with Ken and Mona. For us it's been more than 3 years and we are still struggling with some of the same issues. It was not what we had planned for the second half, but there have been many blessings along the way as well

But the countrys economic downturn has thrown both her and her husbands jobs in question. And Avis hasnt heard from her youngest daughter in monthsan estrangement that gnaws at her every day.

There filled with so much insite to scripture and it relates to our delay walk in life. Very good and quick read! Started in second book now. Recommend highly. Good Continuation Story was a good continuation of where the other series left off. However, there were places that could be fuller Fantastic Story Is there anything you would change about this book? I would definately change the lingo. Normal folk usually don't catch christian-eze speak. Gotta speak to everyone and not put yourself in a niche. Keep true, just round the edges a bit. What did you like best about this story? reconciliation What three words best describe Jackie Schlichers voice? way cool. Was Stand by Me worth the listening time? I believe so. Any additional comments? love the inner city portions, the reconciliation for the daughter's part could have been developed a bit more. Some parts were not written as well, if that makes sense.

Title: Timepiece Author: Richard Paul Evans Narrator: Gregory Gorton Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 05-25-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Hope is a rare gift that - if we are lucky - comes to us with the power to heal our lives. I've come to know that the deepest sense of hope often springs from the hardest lessons in life. It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen. Perhaps it is divine irony that within the darkest moments we are capable of revealing the greatest light, illuminating the best qualities of humankind. This is the story of Timepiece. In The Christmas Box, a loving widow named MaryAnne taught us that the time spent with loved ones is precious and brief. Timepiece is the story of how she learned those lessons. It traces the lives of David and MaryAnne Parkin as they discover love, loyalty, and the power of forgiveness. Just as MaryAnne bestows on Richard a unique heirloom timepiece to pass on to his own daughter, Timepiece is a very special present to pass on to those you love. Its message concerning the ongoing nature of life serves as a reminder that the connections from one generation to the next are indelible. Critic Reviews: "Timepiece is a small treasury of wisdom....You will probably read many books this year; you will not read one written with more skill or more heart than Timepiece." (Tulsa World) Members Reviews: Best Sequel EVER! Excuse me while I go all fangirl for TIMEPIECE and Myra McEntire. *flails* *cheers* *does a high kick* *end scene* Second books always make me nervous. I'm always initially very excited to read them but if they don't hook me, I won't read the third. And I'm going to be honest, many second books make me lose interest and I often won't finish out a series. Well, last year when I finished HOURGLASS I couldn't wait until TIMEPIECE was released. I was so jealous of everyone who managed to score an ARC. When I got my chance to read, I devoured TIMEPIECE. I simply could not get enough. And I won't be quitting this series anytime soon. TIMEPIECE is told from Kaleb's *swoon* POV. I absolutely dug this. I think McEntire nailed his voice. Not only that but we got to see Kaleb's different sides. His tough guy side and the vulnerable side that we didn't see in HOURGLASS. And I must say that vulnerable side made me swoon and tear up at all at the same time. Besides hearing more from Kaleb, I was hoping Myra would give us more about Em's best friend, Lily. Once again, she delivered. Lily is an amazing character and I want her to be my best friend. She's beyond loyal and she's one tough cookie. I don't want to give away too much more...I really want you to read it. After you do, we can laugh, snort, and cry all together. I cannot rave about this book enough...in a year of fantastic releases, this is sure to be tops on anyone's list. It will not disappoint at all. I can't wait to see what Myra has in store for us next. When time itself goes ka-blewy! Actual rating 3.5 stars At first I felt duped â this wasnât the continued story from Emmeronâs POV. Iâd fallen in love with her in âHourglass,â and was really looking forward to more. Instead what I got was the story being picked up right where the last book ended, but with Kalebâs narrative. It is an easy read though. I was able to fly through this, and thank goodness, because it took the first half of the novel to get over my disappointment and get into Kalebâs head.

A savage betrayal. The perfect payback. But is revenge enough? Ollie Bensons computer program, Moviemaker.com, explodes onto the market, thrusting him into a world of glamour, fame, and fortune. Hes extravagantly rich. But hes still obese and desperately miserableuntil he meets a woman who loves him for who he is. Or so it seems. When the two people Ollie trusts the most betray him in brutal fashion, he constructs an elaborate plan for revenge. Its brilliant. Its perfect. Theres just one glitch: Ollie is about to come face-to-face with the power of true, unconditional love. It could change his life. Or end it. Members Reviews: Touching, Exciting Twists in Christian Fiction Genre This is the first novel by Gilbert Morris that I have read that is not a part of a series. I so enjoyed this stand alone, Christian Fiction/ Mystery. The creative, unique twists in the plot kept me turning pages with piqued curiosity. The characters are relatively easy to relate to, and, although each character is facing their own unique circumstances, it was easy to keep up without getting lost in a myriad of an overabundance of characters involved in impertinent details. Summarily, the story flowed easily while maintaining a keen edge of excitement. Disappointing I bought this book because it was labeled as Christian suspense. It started out great, but I was soon disappointed. The characters weren't very believable, and there were several errors (his explanation of receiving a large amount of cash in a briefcase within two hours simply by making a phone call and giving the secret number to his account is inane). Other things were not explained at all. I was able to suspend disbelief about his social naivete, but other things just didn't make sense. As Ollie gets further along in his search for revenge, he seems to believe that if people are wealthy they are living empty, if not immoral, lives... and certainly there are many who do. However, money itself is not evil, it's the love of money that is. (In fact, anything that is put before God.) For all Ollie knew, there may have been many wealthy Christians living in that community who were doing godly things with their money, but he was judging them by how he felt personally. This viewpoint didn't seem to change, even when he realized it wasn't up to him to judge others. Another thing that bothers me is his (seeming) belief that animals and the earth's ecology are more important than humans... certainly, that is the Sierra Club's viewpoint. For Mr. Morris to be pushing this secular organization as worthy is offputting. The underlying theme was forgiveness, and he delivered it fairly well. However, forgiveness is unilateral, and doesn't mean that the person who is being forgiven should not be punished for his illegal deeds in this world.

Frances Snyder can never quite get her mother's voice out of her head. How to be the perfect wife. The perfect mother. Frances's home life is demanding, and while she's busy seeing to everyone else's needs, Frances doesn't have the luxury of spare time. So when she is diagnosed with breast cancer, she thinks that she can handle it on her own. Dealing with endless tests, brutal chemotherapy, and the looming specter of surgery, Frances chooses to face cancer on her own terms: alone. That is, until she finally understands that unexpected friendship - and unconditional love - can offer hope in the darkest hours. With tenderness, grace, and flashes of humor, bestselling author Sarah Price draws upon her own experience as a breast cancer survivor to create a story about one woman's determined and solitary journey into the unknown - in hopes that she'll find her way back home. Members Reviews: Fabulous Book This book was more emotional than I thought! The description of what someone goes through with cancer was so in depth and so eye opening. It made me realize what cancer patients really go through! I loved the characters, the story and most of all the meaning behind the story! Enjoyable It was written very well. I also love all the connections there is if you pay attention. I also absolutely love the ending. Not my favorite... I just couldn't handle the main character. She was too weak-willed and mousy for me. Who on earth wouldn't tell their husband or family that they have cancer? At the beginning they're all narcissistic, self-centered, selfish people who I spent the whole book despising. And of course, at the end, they all do a 180 and turn into loving, appreciative people. Maybe others will get something out of it, but for me, it was a bit of a dud.

There, Lauren begins to appreciate the person her mother is becoming - and she loves the river. However, romantic interests throw a wrench into the works, and Lauren, jealous and angry, returns to her grandmother yet again. But as time passes, Lauren, now a mother to her own defiant teenager, faces a new crisis - one that puts the entire family at risk. Members Reviews: Five Stars âï River's Call, The Inn at Shining Waters The second of the trilogy finds Anna Larson's Inn at Shining Waters beginning to become a place of peace and contentment for her guests, but her daughter's personal problems make Anna wonder what she could have done differently. Through it all Anna relies on her Christian faith and the support of her new husband and mother-in law to keep her grounded. It is a well written Christian novel, with romance and family dynamics being put to the test. The Oregon coastal setting in close to home for me so the scene come to life and are real. It is a wonderful look at how we can renew ourselves and discard ... Second book of a trilogy. I read both the first and second book in one day and started immediately on the third book. It is a wonderful look at how we can renew ourselves and discard hatred and hurts through forgiveness. The trilogy tells the story of three women and the ups and downs of their lives and how they healed. I loved all three books. Relaxing and pleasant River's Call (The Inn at Shining Waters) was a fast pace read although the book was all about the slower pace of life many of us would embrace. The subject matters addressed were the prejudices and misconceptions people carry with them concerning various ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles, and how true, untethered love of a parent or spouse can truly have wonderful consequences for us, if we allow it to. I felt it was beautifully and lovingly accomplished. When I came to the end of the book, I wanted the next in the series. I enjoyed it tremendously!! Enjoyed the book but Really Good if doing with the Bible Study Good book - not one I would normally have read but really enjoyed reading the books in conjunction with the Bible Study that goes along with it.

Despite Lillian's best efforts to the contrary, her feelings for Samuel--and his for her--deepen. Will Lillian find her faith in Plain living, or will she be forced to return to her former life? Content verified by Amish reader. Members Reviews: Inspiring This book was engaging and inspiring. The slowness of the reading conveyed the peace and simplicity of the Amish Great story! Reading after knowning a lot Where does Plain Perfect rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks near the top of the list. What was one of the most memorable moments of Plain Perfect? When i found out who Samual and David were and finding out how he met his wife, sine i already knew they where married since i already read boom 3 with Sadie and Cade. What does Renee Ertl bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Well i read the book that i bought on Amazon. I wanted to listen to it as well. The emotion, and hearing some tell the story is different than reading for me. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? A lot of the book moved me. Towards the end when Samuel and his not yet wife sat on, i think the hill and talked. Any additional comments? I read and listen to the third book in this series with Sadie and Cade. It was soo good. I then listened to the Land of Cananan series with Sarah and David. I thought i was missing a lot so i decided i needed to go back to the beginning and start at this one. Since i already knew who Sadie, Sara jane and The grandpa. It was great filling in the blanks! Could not get past chapter 4.. What disappointed you about Plain Perfect? I could not take it anymore, I stopped listening before I got to chapter 5. The story had great potential and to be honest it may actually be quite good. What I could not get over was that the 27 year old main character was portrayed as if she was a 14 year old. I was not able to determine if this was the narrator or the writing. The story has such great potential I may have to look into getting the book in print and see if I can wipe that image of a googly eyed goofy teenager from my mind. Plain Perfect Would you try another book from Beth Wiseman and/or Renee Ertl? Yes. What did you like best about this story? I like learning about different cultures than the one I am living. How could the performance have been better? Yes. Definitely. The reader used the wrong emphasis on many of the words in the sentences. There was a difficulty in following what she was saying sometimes. Was Plain Perfect worth the listening time? Yes. Any additional comments? The reader could have used a lesson in reading with feeling and emphasis on the correct words in the sentence. The reader was easy to understand, but her voice inflections were not good, and she used practically the same monotone of voice throughout the book.

His defiance echoed down the halls of eternity, but the voice said: "They are mine and I love them." The Tyrant of old was on the move again... And Lucifer knew his time was running out. Members Reviews: Non-Darwin Biased Biblical History Fiction This review covers all 3 CradleLand Chronicles books which I listened to in the order they were written. I appreciate the author's thoroughness in sculpting such a colorful and plausible tale that takes place during the days of Noah. I realize that, for a lot of people, the Bible is as fictional as the secular books they read, but for those of us who take the Bible seriously the story of "the flood" is an intriguing if not somewhat mysterious event. The Bible describes this era of history with condensed detail, yet it impacted all of humanity since and set the stage for biblical events to come. The earth as it was changed. Never before have I read, or listened, to such a fantastic story describing man's early years. The credibility of the plot which weaves throughout the whole series is taken from Biblical events. I congratulate the author for creating a believable evil world that was spawned by satan and his fallen angels. It plays on the notions of what Jesus said concerning the end of days as being like "the days of Noah." This is a well written non-heretical series with plenty of suspense and drama. The books were obviously written not to offend any age group even though the material portrays an apocalyptic theme. I highly recommend this series to students of the Bible who want to have their view of man's early history pushed to new limits, as well as indulge in a fun read/listen. This is what "original" is all about. This whole series is original. Douglas Hirt's take on pre-flood history is one of a kind and truly inspired. I loved all three of these books. I am not one to watch or read something again, but this series is one I make an exception for. If we are on a drive and my kids want to listen to it again, no problem. The narrator of the first book is hard to get used to and annoying at times, but the story makes up for it. Narration on the next two books is great. I recommend this series to everyone. Superb Story This is a biblically accurate novel set in fiction. I didn't want this Trilogy to end.

Title: It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own Subtitle: Code of the West #1 Author: Stephen Bly Narrator: Jerry Sciarrio Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-12-08 Publisher: Books in Motion Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Pepper Paige is tired of her life as a dance-hall girl, and tired of fearing Jordan Beckett, a violent patron who has turned his attentions on her. When a stagecoach wrecks and an injured woman dies in her room, Pepper assumes her identity and leaves town. The dead woman was a refined, educated Christian on her way to marry a rancher she knew only through letters. Pepper chooses to assume that role. What she doesn't know is, the rancher has been killed by Indians and Tap Andrews is now passing himself off as the rancher. What will happen when the two meet? ©1994 Stephen Bly; (P)2000 Books in Motion Members Reviews: A western with a twist The title comes from the lyrics to the traditional cowboy ballad Get along little doggies. This is the first Stephen Bly book I have read. Zachariah Hatcher and Suzanne Cedar are engaged to be married, but they have never met in person. Suzanne travels to Colorado to marry Hatcher only both die on their way to the meeting site. Tap Andrews who was with Hatcher when he died agreed to go on and met Cedars stagecoach and tell Cedar of his death so she would not be left alone in a strange country. Only there is a stagecoach accident and Cedar is killed. Pepper a dance hall girl took care of Cedar as she died then takes her place to meet Hatcher. The book has lots of suspense with outlaws, and wondering if they will tell each other the truth about themselves. I believe this is one of the so called Christian fiction books. It is a typical western with a bit of a twist to the plot and a moral point to the story. Sometimes its hilarious, sometimes poignant but always entertaining. It is a short easy read that makes a good break from more complicated books. Jerry Sciarrio did a good job narrating the book. A believable unbelievable story. What did you love best about It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own? Adventure, humor, and very engaging story. Wasted lives without purpose given incredible hope of a promising future. A stand alone story that makes me want to hear the next episode. Very entertaining, made a long drive much shorter. Which character as performed by Jerry Sciarrio was your favorite? Tap Andrews If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Chance encounters may change your chances. Any additional comments? Nope.

Blossom Daniels lost her job moments after she reported to work, because she couldn't climb the stairs for mail delivery, thanks to a permanently broken down elevator. Her day was only beginning. Little did she know, before it ended, she'd be fighting for her life in the chilly grip of the Potomac. Josh Miller was running late to his sister's baby shower - a shower she pressured him to attend, refusing to hear his complaints of, "men don't attend that sort of event." But after a slew of traffic mishaps, neither his sister's baby shower nor the traffic comprised his agenda. He was diving into the depths of the Potomac River to save a person he'd never met. Blossom knew her weight would challenge anyone attempting to save her. She prayed desperately, "God, if you save me, I will lose this weight!" First, she must overcome the rough waves determined to sink her. Members Reviews: Okay story, better narration than other two. Any additional comments? This is a good clean series, inspirational to lose weight and keep the faith, but lacks a little depth and narrators are just readers, all 3 of them. I wonder if it would bring more to the story if the narration was better, hmmm...

From the evil, Hollywood Mrs. Beaverton to the cookies Mistletoe was helping everyone to have a memorable Christmas season. I was glad to see Brad and Summer and Dodie and Jason were all fine. I read most of the series and I was glad this finalized it all. The ending was perfect and I can only hope that everyone lived happily ever after like I'm sure they did. I did enjoyed it all. I just wish Mrs. Beaverton would habe apologized to those she hurt. Spoiler: I would have been very upset if Aunt Carol married Jackson. I also would have been upset if Ethel didn't listen and follow signs. Wonderful! I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it. The characters were realistic and the story was well-written. I will read more by Linda West. Good thru a Christmas season and the people who love the whole month .these sisters who are so close find happiness. Sweet Story I always enjoy Christmas books, I could just feel the setting and the love of the family. A easy read. Hilariously funny but heart warming It was a fun read and filled with funny human craziness! I loved the happy ending but it did seem a little predictable.

Caleb's imaginative portrayal of David and Goliath set in the future played out in Brock's mind and the story around it formed. Firmly rooted in elements of 1 Samuel 17, the story is set into Brock's Quest for Truth galaxy and gives more depth to the larger story playing out in and prior to the events of the Quest for Truth. David and Goliath is Brock's favorite Bible story and was also the focus of his story Showdown with the Shepherd, which was book five in the Imagination Station series. Members Reviews: Short story A short interesting novella set in The Quest for Truth series. The story provided some series history answers to questions I had. The story can be enjoyed as a standalone but Id suggest reading/listening to the series in order for the back history.

But these are dark times. Having spent the last decade apprenticing in the closely guarded secrets of steel making, Zoram anxiously returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem to fulfill his destiny and take his place as the new Keeper of the Sword. His homecoming, however, is overshadowed by the suspicious death of his father and rumors of betrayal that reach the highest levels of power. Despite this, Zoram steadfastly strives to complete the work he is called to do, but his attention is divided between a woman unlike any he has ever met and another woman obsessed with his position and power. And at the center of this personal and political turmoil stands Laban - captain of Israel's armies, Keeper of the Records, and the cunning man Zoram is sworn to serve. But how can one man stop a rapidly growing wave of wickedness from destroying the faith, even the very nation, of Israel? Members Reviews: Keepers of the Sword Really enjoyed it! Excellent narrator. Adventurous and very intense. Shows such faith in God in the story of those who were called to do His will. Friendships strong and faithful and acceptance of different cultures. Loved the twist and turns especially at the ending. Excellent Audiobook. Recommended reading. Amazing story with best narrator near the middle I started looking to buy from this author narrator combo and found nothing. I am hoping they are working on something else as I consider this one of the best audible books I have ever heard. did not want it to end. More, please. what a book! it was hard to put down, excellent storyline, beautiful conclusion. One I will not forget. Great Story! I loved the combination of characters in this book and the telling of Zoram's training as a youth. I'll never read 1 Nephi the same ever again!

Pattern of Wounds Audiobook by J. Mark Bertrand

Mark Bertrand Narrator: Mel Foster Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Its Christmas in Houston, and homicide detective Roland March is on the hunt for a killer. A young womans brutal stabbing in an affluent neighborhood bears all the hallmarks of a serial murder. The only problem is that March sent the murderer to prison 10 years ago. Is it a copycat - or did March convict the wrong man? Alienated from his colleagues, and with a growing rift in his marriage, March receives a series of taunting messages from the killer. The bodies pile up, the pressure builds, and the violence reaches too close to home. Up against an unfathomable evil, March struggles against the clock to understand the hidden message in the pattern of wounds. Critic Reviews: Bertrands got a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue. The cop-talk, for fans of the tough guy genre, hits the right note every time. (Comment) Bertrands well-plotted and tightly written novel offers glimmers of a world beyond the gritty Houston streets his cop must roam. (World) Members Reviews: So Much Tension Whew! It's Bertrand's thesis that the Huston Police Department's a dysfunctional family. Oh, and that Roland March, his lead character, has a dysfunctional family. And that the society around him is, well, dysfunctional. March's life is a schizzo's irritating dreamworld. Mrch is essentially without emotional support from anyone. And yet Bertrand is a powerfully strong writer. The characters are deeper than saucepan grease, and get heated sufficiently to sizzle the story into your appetite to keep on listening. Still, it's such a cliché to include the detective's bosses among a book's heavies. It'd be nice to read a procedural novel today where the team supported one another. MAJOR ALERT This is Part Two of an epic novel which Bertrand started in "Back In Murder" a book I enjoyed. But, this plot is so dependent upon the earlier novel that YOU MUST READ IT FIRST, and perhaps review it before starting "Pattern Of Wounds". I'm a busy guy and frankly the dependence of this book upon that one really reduced my enjoyment since, well, I didn't want to work so hard to review all of the characters and details to follow this one. So, on balance, I may buy another Bertrand book. But if he waits too long to write the next Roland March novel, I'll probably pass I know that I'll forget too much of the plot to make the next in this series accessible. Mel Foster did an OK job, but once again, the list of characters is sufficiently large that Foster had difficulty keeping their voices sufficiently distinct. A Gripping Murder Mystery Very Well Done This is my second Roland March murder mystery by J. Mark Bertrand. I thought that Mr. Bertrand's first book "Back on Murder" was excellent. I was equally pleased with "Pattern of Wounds." If you enjoy the mystery novels of James Lee Burke with his main detective, Dave Robicheau, I think you would enjoy these novels, too. The format for "Pattern of Wounds" was as an audio book. It was narrated by Mel Foster whom I thought did a very good job with the voices of the characters. "Pattern of Wounds" refers to the pattern of knife wounds left by the killer on his victims.

Marty and Clark's spiritual heritage has been lovingly passed on to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. And now beloved granddaughter Virginia faces the test of her young life. Caught in that difficult period between childhood and adulthood, feeling that she doesn't really fit anywhere, Virginia struggles against what she considers to be unreasonable restrictions and expectations. A lively new girl arrives at school, and Jenny seems to represent everything that Virginia is longing for - her looks, her daring, her alluring freedom from constraints. But then comes the day neither girl will ever forget. Members Reviews: Written For Teenage Readers I have read other books by Janette Oke which I found quite enjoyable and worth my time, AND they were on an adult reading level. This was not one of them. If I had known it was geared from beginning to end toward young teenagers I wouldn't have bothered at all. I won't be interested in the next 3 books in the series that are necessary to complete the story. Only in rare circumstances will I continue to buy more books to finish the tale, mainly because I resent having to do so. That said, if the book had been described as one for younger readers, I wouldn't be writing this somewhat negative review since I wouldn't have read the book to start with. My 3 star rating is only for a potential teenage reader. For me, it would rate less. I found the character of Virginia somewhat weak and too easily influenced by an undesirable friend, continually making the wrong choices due to peer pressure. Perhaps other young teenagers would benefit from reading of her mistakes and their consequences, but it became repetitious and boring for me as an adult. One thread of the story was finally resolved in this book, but others are left hanging. I shouldn't have stuck with it, only to become ultimately frustrated because of having done so. Very Good Read for all ages. After loving the Love Comes Softly movie series, I was delighted to be offered to read one of Ms Oke's books, The Tender Years, to see if her writing was truly translated in the movie series. Ms Oke's writing does not disappoint. Reading the story of Virginia during her growing teen years, brought back the emotions a young girl struggles through in being accepted and going into young adulthood, finding their way. Ms Oke's style provokes relating emotions with the character and satisfaction with the loving guidance of faith loving parents and family to help one along the way. The story is refreshing, leaving one content and encouraged, with doing the right thing, rewarding and content with following ones faith. Ms Oke's books would be ones that anyone would want to hand down through the generations. Virginia's teen years Let me start off by admitting that I don't read Janette Oke very often. My exposure has been reading Love Comes Softly, When Calls the Heart (many, MANY years ago), and watching some of the Love Comes Softly series movies on Hallmark channel. After saying that, I have to admit the prologue of this book had me feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have no idea how many characters from how many series were talked about, but I felt like my head was going to explode halfway through the prologue.

Christopher Owen's eyes gleam as he recites Jesus' promise: "This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all people groups, and then the end will come...then the end will come!" Arising from the shadows, an ancient conspiracy challenges the trio's best efforts, drawing them into a web of political intrigue and murder. Apocalyptic events unfold relentlessly as a global coalition mounts a final assault on the gates of hell. Could theirs be the generation that fulfills the destiny of history? Will theirs be the last generation the one that welcomes Jesus' return? Hastening is book one of the two-part No Place Left saga, inspired by actual events - past, present, and future. It paints a vision of the future, and how every Christian can leave a life of ordinary to join the quest. Could this be the real story unfolding in our world? Members Reviews: #NoPlaceLeft for Jesus is in grasp #NoPlaceLeft for Jesus is within the grasp of our generation. Really like the vision and the "call to arms" Steve sounds in this book. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because of the unlikely Marine character that is central to the book. Military officers do not act in the manner depicted and to my knowledge there are no Marine officers with his type of background, but it is fiction... A fun fictionalization of what missiologists are seeing happening around the world! I was given this book as a gift from one of my colleagues at work and I read it in four days. I have read Steve Smith's T4T book and enjoyed it, yet was skeptical if he could pull off writing fiction. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised! The story pacing was really good and the dialogue banter was easy to follow. If I was a non-believer reading this I would totally find some of the references bordering on Christian propaganda. However, when you realize the goal was to fictionalize what many mission agencies are seeing happen around the world, it's easy to look past the "forced" references. I am looking forward to reading the second book when it is published! Clear Message, Strong Motivation Great book! It has an engaging, satisfying plot, loaded with huge implications. Looking forward to book 2. It's uniqueness lies in the clear explanation and strong motivation for finishing what Jesus left for us to do. You will enjoy reading this book and come away pondering what you should be doing during these crucial days. Read it! getting Christians excited about finishing the Great Commission. Possible in our lifetime Serves its purpose: getting Christians excited about finishing the Great Commission. Possible in our lifetime! Probably not of interest to people not already interested in Christianity, but definitely good to inspire Christians to think and act. The story was not very gripping at the start, the plot and characters are not too engaging, but despite these flaws the narrative does build solidly to some truly touching moments. This is a great read. Not the best in terms of literature This is a great read. Not the best in terms of literature, but definitely a good story-line.

A Miracle for St. Cecilias Audiobook by Katherine Valentine

Title: A Miracle for St. Cecilias Author: Katherine Valentine Narrator: Ron McLarty Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 82 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A Miracle for St. Cecilias is a heartwarming story that all lovers of Christian fiction will find uplifting and entertaining. St. Cecilias, an old, outdated Catholic Church in a small New England town, is about to be closed down, much to the dismay of the faithful townsfolk. What will become of Father James Flaherty and the aging Father Keene - and what of the flock? When faith and hope endure, even miracles are possible. Members Reviews: Enjoyed this book Thoroughly enjoyed the story. It contained good humor, sadness, surprise and lots of love. Reminded me of the Jan Karon stories. Good, but not great What did you like best about A Miracle for St. Cecilias? What did you like least? This faith based story set in a charming small town held the appeal for me. However I had problems following the timing of some of the action. There were flashbacks that I didn't know were flashbacks until later in the story. At the end we skip from Good Friday to Sunday with apparently no Saturday. These kinds of problems spoiled an otherwise sweet story for me. Would you be willing to try another book from Katherine Valentine? Why or why not? I liked this book enough that I'm willing to try the second in this series. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? It was ok. Not memorable but not terrible either. If this book were a movie would you go see it? I might because I like stories like this Any additional comments? This book was on a list of recommended reading for fans of Jan Karon's Mitford series. There is actually a reference to that series in this book. I did enjoy the apparent sincerity of faith of the characters. This is a good "Sunday afternoon" listen. It Makes You Feel Good Inside If you could sum up A Miracle for St. Cecilias in three words, what would they be? heartwarming, neighborhood, friends What other book might you compare A Miracle for St. Cecilias to and why? The Jan Karon Mitford series. It is about a Man of God, his church members, and the towns people living together. How God works everything out and the choices we make. What about Ron McLartys performance did you like? Yes I did. He has a warm voice. Very expressive. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but life wouldn't allow such luxury. Besides it prolonged the ending. Like the Jan Karon books, I find that I miss the characters once I'm finished reading. Any additional comments? I hope the author plans to write a series. Missed John McDonough as the narrator Loved the story, I was Iooking for.something like the "Mitford Series" Great similarities! Great read. A Great Read "A Miracle for St. Cecilia's" is a terrific story, whether one is Roman Catholic or not. Full of characters who could easily be one's neighbors and friends, with a plot that is capable of renewing, or strengthening one's belief in miracles, it grabs one by the heart and grants one wings. It truly is a story of the kind of faith that is so needed in this sometimes dismal world. Mr McLarty does a terrific job and is a real pleasure to listen to. Kudos to Ms. Valentine for the opening entry in a series that stands right up there with Jan Karon's Mitford novels .

"I call it time-surfing," Abby said. "It's like being there, except no one can see or hear us." "Whatever you call it," John said, "that was crazy - what we just did. Beyond realistic. I mean, I was in that guy's head and knew everything he was thinking." Abby's weird computer program is working again. And it comes in handy when she and her friends agree to help the Old Dears with their family tree. Except Abby and John learn more about one of the ladies' ancestors than they ever wanted to know. Convicted in 1871 of murder and arson, Reuben Buchanan is a blight on the family's reputation. But was he really guilty? Abby and John must get inside the mind of a murderer to find out. And while they're rummaging around in the Old Dears' family history, they also find Nathan Buchanan, a heroic relative connected to the Lewis and Clark Expedition - and a legacy waiting to be reclaimed. But the most important discovery they make is that God's promise to bless a thousand generations is true. Members Reviews: Very good sequel Would you consider the audio edition of Unclaimed Legacy to be better than the print version? I did not read the print version but the audio version was very good Who was your favorite character and why? The elderly twins (Old Dears) were so much fun! What does Michelle Babb bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I always enjoy Michelle Babb's narrations. Any additional comments? There were so many things I enjoyed about this story. The history, lessons, relationships and all the mystery made for a great listen. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Loved the sequel! If you could sum up Unclaimed Legacy in three words, what would they be? Fantastic historical thriller Who was your favorite character and why? John and Abby are always favorites, but I loved the "old dears" and the characters from time-surfing. They add such depth and interest to the story. Have you listened to any of Michelle Babbs other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, I listened to Time and Again, the first book in this series. She did great on that book and did even better this time! Her voice is very easy to listen to and she does wonderful voices for each character. If you could take any character from Unclaimed Legacy out to dinner, who would it be and why? Um, John of course! He's an upstanding guy. Any additional comments? As I said before, I loved this sequel. The time-surfing was great and had plenty of twists! I always like the historical aspect of the books and the story line was good, demonstrating great character development. This book kept my interest with the help of the different voices and the surprises throughout. Hats off to the author and narrator, another job well done! Even better than the first book What did you like best about this story? I love history and think it would be neat to be able to go back and see what was meant for us to see. Have you listened to any of Michelle Babbs other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes and this narrator is one of my favorites.

But there's another hunter on the scene, someone who wants to make sure the story never sees print - and who isn't averse to lethal means, either. Nick Hutchins, a social worker, has his own uneasy hunches about the children's home, which are confirmed by Beth's investigation, a high-speed attempt on her life, and finally the startling confessions of an intruder. An appalling picture emerges of helpless children under the sway of a modern-day Fagin. There's one person who can save the children: Beth herself. But using the key could cost her reputation - or her life. One of the Sun Coast Chronicles, Presumption of Guilt is a gripping portrayal of the depths of human evil, the soul-twisting influence of lies, and the far-reaching freedom of God's mercy and grace. ©1961 Terri Blackstock (P)1999 Zondervan Members Reviews: stirring, suspenseful This is just the sort of crime drama worth reading or listening to. It is exemplary if the ways God uses to draw people to him. I hope there'll be a fifth book in the series, it be nice to continue exploring character development. LOVED IT Loved it. Another good book by Terri Blackstock. Have not read one that I did not really enjoy. Didn't care for this one I like most of the books by this author, but this one didn't hold my attention. not worth it This audiobook is not worth the money it costs or the time it takes to listen to.It is a badly written story .

Eloah: No Heaven Audiobook by Lex Allen

Title: Eloah: No Heaven Author: Lex Allen Narrator: Mark Rossman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Evolved Publishing LLC Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A 2,000-year-old secret is revealed. Our world will never be the same. Earth - rife with political corruption, corporate oligarchy, and religious fanaticism - stands at the precipice of a nuclear world war that could destroy us. Eloah, a philosophy teacher from a parallel universe, returns to help, but first he must reach the hearts and minds of the people, and resolve the fundamentalist misinterpretations that created our religions. To accomplish his mission, he enlists the help of three old friends who knew him in a previous incarnation...2,000 years ago. Eloah's public announcement and display of supernatural abilities in Cologne, Germany, followed by a shooting at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., sparks a flurry of activity. His enemies gather quickly, ranging from government agencies, to the Vatican, to a fanatical detective. Yet none is more dangerous than an evil being with powers equal to those of Eloah, one intent on turning the world into his personal playground, crushing all who stand in his way. Members Reviews: Fast-paced and easy-reading science-fiction/fantasy novel After the huge success of Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code" I suspect that any author would love to be compared to that best-selling author, let alone deposit one of his royalty checks! And with "Eloah: No Heaven", the first volume of Lex Allen's new Eloah series which is firmly in the same genre, the comparisons are both apt and inevitable--a religiously-themed science-fiction/fantasy thriller which yanks the reader all over the world in pursuit of secrets long-buried or never known to any but the original players--all of whom are introduced to us along the way. It's nearly impossible to provide any sort of synopsis or summary without spoiling the surprises--there is a new reveal every few chapters--some predictable and others which will make you gasp in amazement. The plot, as good thriller plots should, moves you smartly from place to place and scene to scene while still providing at least a modicum of local color and character development which will be just enough for most readers. I struggled to try to figure out who would enjoy this book the most. Readers of Dan Brown and religious fiction are a perfect fit of course. Open-minded religious folks should like it along with fans of action-adventure, science-fiction, and fantasy. Also, romance readers who would enjoy evidence of an actual and mutual soulmate relationship! And, of course, those who just want a way to relax with a good book for a couple of hours whatever the subject. I also have to say that i am currently a Pagan and am an ex-Christian and the author is right on-target and obviously comfortable writing in both categories--there is nothing I could find to challenge or change in either area. It is unusual to find such evidence of research in what is normally regarded as a 'casual' or mass-market novel. But at bottom it's a fast-paced, easy-reading novel which might well coax your mind into nooks and crannies it has never before ventured and yield some authentic delight along the way. I envy you the journey and I eagerly await the next volumes in this series so I can acquire all the 'good news'. Oh, just one more bright spot.

Healing Stones Audiobook by Stephen Arterburn, Nancy Rue

Title: Healing Stones Subtitle: Sullivan Crisp Series, Book 1 Author: Stephen Arterburn, Nancy Rue Narrator: Pam Turlow Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-09 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 139 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Enter Sullivan Crisp, a decidedly unorthodox psychologist with his own baggage. He's well-known for his quirky sense of humor and incorporation of "game show" theology into his counseling sessions. And yet there's something more he offers...hope for a fresh start. Reluctantly the two of them begin an uplifting, uneven journey filled with healing and grace. By turns funny and touching, this story explores the ways humans hurt each other and deceive themselves. And it shows the endlessly creative means God uses to turn stones of accusation and shame into works of beauty that lead us onto the path of healing. An auspicious debut for a candid yet tender series about pain, healing, and God's invitation for second chances. Members Reviews: first fifteen minutes but good really To be honest I turned off this book as it started off with a married woman off to tell her lover it was over and of course they started making whoopee. I have had the honor of being cheated on and it hurts. But lack of choices brought me back to hearing this. It got good fast! The characters were real and believable. This book had some twists to it, all the way to the end of the story. Really good listen and encouraging. A great story! I liked this story because it had a fast moving, interesting plot with real, gritty characters. The story is one of failures, redemption, and all the emotions/complications that go with it. Enjoyable Would you listen to Healing Stones again? Why? Yes. Story was enjoyable and inspirational and it was well read. What did you like best about this story? The characters were quite real. They struggled and failed and struggled and conquered. What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Allows me to listen when driving long distances. I've found that I can't drive safely and read at the same time. :) Who was the most memorable character of Healing Stones and why? The protagonist. (see earlier note about being real; also the character development was good) Any additional comments? Thank you for providing inspirational fiction in the mix! Mixed feelings I was really pleased to find some Christian fiction that deals with something really messy, and has characters who are flawed and quirky. On the whole I really enjoyed the story, and I thought many of the characters were great, but I was disappointed that in the end, Demi was basically portrayed as a victim of a manipulative, unhinged, serial womaniser. The author almost made her out to be a completely innocent victim of circumstance - and I'd had preferred it to remain more as it began, with her confessing that she had sinned, and feeling the weight of that. I was also pretty unimpressed with what transpired with Demi's son - apart from his hypocrisy being extreme to the point of being implausible, it was a bit too much of a coincidence (yet somehow quite predictable too). I thought that twist was unnecessary and it undermined the credibility of the rest of the story. Still tossing up whether I'll get the next one in the series... Wow! Really makes you think and reevaluate your thinking. Excellent writing and the reading was done very well also.

Scars Audiobook by Patience Prence

Title: Scars Author: Patience Prence Narrator: Kris Faulkner Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-12 Publisher: Books in Motion Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Are you ready? Cataclysmic natural disastersGlobal economic chaosPolitical turbulenceMass deceptionThe Apocalypse has just begun.... Sixteen-year-old Rebekah Silver is your average teenager living in Southern California. She worries only about learning her cheerleading routines and passing her math test. But as world dictators rise to power and devastating disasters claim millions of lives she is inspired to search for answers. Becky soon discovers her world is quickly coming to an end, just as it was prophesied. Now she must decide whether to risk her life to follow the laws of God or surrender her soul to the law of man in this action-packed thriller. Will Becky survive? Members Reviews: LOVED it! Awesome story and narration. What did you love best about Scars? It was a believable and Biblical, albeit fictional, portrayal of the end times. Who was your favorite character and why? Becky-- I don't want to include any spoilers, so I'll let the reader/listener understand by using one word: FAITH. What about Kris Faulkners performance did you like? The characters were portrayed very well through the narrator (even the accents!) and this packed a lot of emotion. It kept me engaged throughout. Kris Faulkner has a voice that is pleasant to listen to for hours at a time. It isn't easy to find that (lol). Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The end, especially. And a scene between Becky and her mother which I viewed to be tragic. The portrayal of the death camp was close to what I've imagined them to be like. Any additional comments? This book is encouraging and awakening. It should be experienced by adults and teens alike. Pointless Christian Lit Scars is a fundamentally pointless story about how true the bible is. A new saviour has risen to world power and teenager Becky knows hes actually the anti-Christ. The story consists of Becky recounting the worlds trip to hell in a hand basket as Earth falls under the spell of false prophets and deceitful messiahs. It is brief on the interesting aspects such as massive changes to world rule, currency, law etc and heavy on bible verses. Even if you happen to believe, it doesnt excuse the unimaginative, poorly written and unevenly paced story that lacks any kind of dramatic tension. I dont happen to believe which, yes, means this book automatically has an uphill battle with me. But the fact that there is no real conflict to fuel the story just makes it, as I said, pointless. Becky knows the new messiah is the antichrist because she read it in the bible and everything the bible said came true all the signs, the omens, everything. The story is a literal re-telling of the coming of the anti-Christ set in modern days. Now if the story had some spine, was a debate, or perhaps dealt with Becky questioning her belief or reconciling her faith in a being that would let this happen or just coming to terms with the fact her faith will see her martyred ,well that would be something. It would be interesting at least. Unfortunately, though, Scars lacks any kind of focus other than re-telling the bible for profit.

Cara found work in a candle factory and to her surprise, she also found many friends in the boarding house where she lived . . . and one enemy.

Excellent Book! Loved it!!! Where does No Safe Harbor rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Safe Harbor ranks in the top ten books I have listened to. I listen to many books since I have a long commute to work. What did you like best about this story? The story grabs your attention at the very begining. It is interesting and very "clean". Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I really liked the fact that the book is captivating and a well written Christian book. Any additional comments?

But her sleuthing ways come to a screeching halt when Captain Donahue "Hugh" Morgan puts her under house arrest. Hugh is intrigued by this courageous spy the natives call "War Woman". She's more daring than most men and is intelligent in defending her convictions. Even more impressive to Hugh is the strength of Tyra's unshakeable faith in God. When Tyra saves his life during an attack, Hugh vows to return the favor. Before he can intervene, however, she is caught by his superior officer and imprisoned. Soon Hugh's honor, faith, country, and love are all on the line. Can he risk it all to gain everything? Members Reviews: Good Job I liked the strength of the leading characters. Believable plot. Great trip into American history. Glad I am living now. Looking forward to reading the next one. Really love so many of the people in the story. It would be a good movie. The MacGregor Legacy #2 This book is set during the Revolutionary War and occurs about 20 years after the first book, For Love or Loyalty. Hugh is on his way to rescue his brother from the Colonialists. On the way, he's attacked by Tuscarora Indians and ends up badly wounded. Upon awakening, he finds himself in the home of the very people fighting against his country. He quickly comes to realize that the people he's sharing a home with may not be the enemy. Tyra is holding down the fort at home. Her three brothers and father are off fighting against the British. She does her best to keep them safe. Her nickname of the "War Woman" has the British that occupy the city wondering how she got that name and if she might be working with the colonials. Hugh is stationed in her home to keep an eye on her and Tyra wonders if giving Hugh her heart would be a waste of time. These two don't have to think very hard about caring about each other. The problem is that they find themselves on opposite sides of the war. Tyra makes unrealistic demands on Hugh but also challenges him to really look at why he's fighting for the British. Even if the war ends, will Hugh be able to gain the approval of Tyra's father and brothers? I really liked this book. I'm not a big fan of books written for this time period, so that's saying something. Tyra is the daughter of Malcolm and Lauren, the subject of the first book, so the connection is there. A little bit of their story is revealed, but not enough that you'd have to read these in order. The third book in the series, For Love or Liberty, is coming out in November. It is about Charlotte Morgan, who is possibly Hugh and Tyra's daughter, and set during the War of 1812. Awesome Book! Jennifer Hudson Taylor knows how to write! I cannot wait to read more from her! ... predictable ( as most Christian fiction is) but I enjoyed the Scottish connection to the early years of our ... This series for Jennifer Hudson Taylor may be a bit predictable ( as most Christian fiction is) but I enjoyed the Scottish connection to the early years of our country and their involvement in the Revolutionary War. for Love or Country This book was a great sequel to book 1.

Title: The Listening Book Subtitle: The Soul Painting & Other Stories Author: James Webb Narrator: James Webb Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-16 Publisher: James Webb Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The Listening Book is a thought-provoking and beautifully written challenge to the way in which we live our lives in a complex world. Through a set of parable-like short stories, Webb offers us an innovative and creative insight into God's word and, while being engaging and captivating throughout, the stories never lose their subtlety and charm. These tales are an exploration of some of the ideas we find in the Bible, with each one carrying the essence of God's word. Webb uses his background in Bible teaching to combine both scriptural integrity with an enchanting written style to create what is, without doubt, a unique and perceptive book. In addition to being beautifully written, The Listening Book is stunningly presented; this book's easily worded style makes it accessible to both young and old alike. The Listening Book aims to present some of the concepts found in Christianity in a new and intuitive way and, with themes ranging from love to evangelism, it really does have something for everyone. Members Reviews: A Little Confused Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend if they just wanted to listen to some short stories. I am not sure what the author wanted me to learn but the stories were good. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? All of the stories were enjoyable. What does James Webb bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He does a great job with his narration. He pauses where needed and makes the listening experience pleasant. He has honed the skill of reading an authors words so they are not disjointed with pauses where they should not be as some narrators do. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There was not one in particular. Any additional comments? I started listening with one purpose in mind but soon lost that purpose and just enjoyed the short stories. "This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast." Interesting parallel to the Bible This audio book was interesting, but different. I enjoy reading and listening to books that are about the Bible and this one didn't disappoint me. The stories gave me a little more understanding of parts of the Bible. Since James Webb narrated as well as wrote the book, I thought that he gave the audio version more meaning than another narrator would. His voice was smooth and easy to listen to. I was given a copy of the audio book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. Thought-Filled Shorts That Parallel the Bible I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It had many short stories that were meaningful and insightful for a deeper meaning of the Bible. There's nothing heavy, it's subtle as the blurb says but it's easy to understand. The stories all relate back to life and how we perceive it. I found this book relaxing. James Webb did a great job not only writing these stories but also narrating them himself. I love hearing an author read their own book when they have a nice voice and he does.

Members Reviews: Great Story Based on Christian Principles I'm glad that this is the first book in the series. I want to be with and enjoy this family as they grow and change. I a big fan of Karen Kingsbury, having listened to When Joy Came to Stay, Gideon's Gift and Maggie's Miracle a couple of years ago. This book, Redemption deals with a infidelity in a young couple's marriage in an honest and sensitive way . . . and in a godly way. I appreciated the openness and the courage demonstrated in this fictional story . . . because it is many a Christian couple's REAL story. Infidelity need not destroy a marriage. Kari Jacobs, the young wife who was wise and strong, sought God in her pain. I look forward to the next book in the series, and I am thankful for wholesome, Christian literature that bring real life issues to the forefront. Good story despite outlandish plot direction Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I really enjoyed this book despite the fact that I thought that the plot was a little outlandish. I really enjoy the Christian characters and perspective. What really attracted me to the series, though, is the story. The story woven throughout the series is enough to get me past any deficiencies in individual books. The female characters are weak. That really bothers me. However, I got a kick out of how God took care of the loser cheating husband. The narration was great except that the narrator's voice does not do men's voices well. That bothered me a little. The bottom line is that I enjoy the stories so much that the little flaws just don't matter. Who was your favorite character and why? The Baxter parents were my favorite characters. The younger female characters seem weak. The cheating husband was a total loser. What three words best describe Sandra Burrs voice? Sandra Burr has a great voice. She is a wonderful narrator. Her portrayal of male voices bothers me a little. It would be better to have an actual male voice do those parts. What would have made this romance irresistible? If the female characters had more brains and backbone and the writing was more rich and smooth, these would be the best books ever! Any additional comments? This was certainly a very short book for the cost. Redemption This book was sooo good that I could not stop listening to it. I will be listening to the other books. Short If you a Kingbury fan and already read the book, you will miss the rest of the story. There is a enough that it's a good story if you don't have a preconceived notion of the story. Great book to listen to!!! Would you listen to Redemption again? Why? I enjoyed REDEMPTION soooo much. It was very easy to listen to and follow. I drive many miles a day for work and could follow this and relax on long drives. The story warms your heart and keeps you coming back for more. I downloaded the second book! Must Read!

Title: The Storekeeper's Daughter Subtitle: Daughters of Lancaster County, Book 1 Author: Wanda E. Brunstetter Narrator: Christina Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 161 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: After her mom's untimely death, 20-year-old Naomi toils at the family's general store while caring for seven younger siblings - including her newborn brother, Zach. And when the unthinkable happens to baby Zach, she wonders how God can possibly bring good out of such tragedy. Members Reviews: My first by Wanda Brunstetter I heard about this author of all places in the Wall Street Journal. I'd read another Amish Story, "Levi's Will" by W Dale Cramer and really enhoyed it. Plus the Amish have moved into my home area os southern Iowa and I find the Amish interesting. So, I thought I'd give the author a chance. It is a nice story, a make you feel good kind of story which is what it si supposed to do. It was easy to keep listening. I'm sure I'll listen to anouther by this author at some point. Serenity of Amish Country I grew up in rural Kentucky, and since leaving there and following my army husband all over the world and finally ending up in Alabama, I was surprised to learn that the Amish have settled in my home state, very near the little town where I grew up. For many, many years now, I have been fascinated by the lifestyle of these quiet, unassuming people. When we go home to Kentucky, we visit the Amish, we buy their handmade baskets, which put Longaberger baskets to shame. Each time we go, another of the tiny Yoders has learned to weave baskets and has printed their name and year on the bottom of the basket that we buy. There's a deep peace on their faces, an assuredness that we, "English" just can't quite capture in our busy lives. The Storekeeper's Daughter is the first book I've read or listened to about the Amish, and it was sweet and good. And I needed it. It gave me a window into the world of the Amish, and it also bonded me with them, as I, too, am a Christian. The Bible verses quoted in this book are balm to my soul. Predictable but still enjoyed the story. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Left me with questions until I read summary of other books in series and it looks like the story continues. Which character as performed by Christina Moore was your favorite? Frannie If this book were a movie would you go see it? I would watch on TV "The Storekeeper's Duaghter" Great Book.

As a Driven Leaf Audiobook by Milton Steinberg

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/714/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: As a Driven Leaf Author: Milton Steinberg Narrator: George Guidall Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-05 Publisher: Susan Dworkin Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: As A Driven Leaf is a novel in which fictional and historical characters comfortably coexist. It is a gripping tale of the renegade Talmudic sage, Elisha ben Abuyah, caught in a personal struggle between his own faith and the compelling culture of Rome, circa 70 CE. The genius of Milton Steinberg's great work is that it illuminates the political and intellectual conflicts of Rabbinic times in a way that shows their relevance to Jewish faith, nationhood, and personal development in every era, including our own. A helpful Listener's Guide adds fascinating historical background on the book's events - including Bar Kochba's bloody revolt against the Romans - and its characters, among them the great woman scholar Bruriah and the revered Rabbi Akiba. Critic Reviews: "Imposing...remarkably effective." (The New York Times) Members Reviews: A Classic This book is not for everyone, as it is more about reflection, faith and doubt than sheer entertainment. However, for those who think about life and purpose, meaning and time, this is a wonderful story which teaches an important lesson. Did not enjoy this title What disappointed you about As a Driven Leaf? I felt that the audio was hard to hear and understand Would you ever listen to anything by Milton Steinberg again? I will purchase but not listen. How could the performance have been better? This book needed a better audio If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from As a Driven Leaf? I didn't finish this book. A wonderful book Everyone should read Great book met all my expectations I have recommended to all my friends As a child of the Holocaust survivor increased my belief Zionism Great book, relevant to our time! The narrator spoke a bit softly. As I listen while I'm driving, I missed a bit; it simply wasn't loud enough, even with the volume turned up full. I felt as if I was a part of the world of 2000 years ago, but I suspect that quite a lot was cut out of the abridged edition, and the jumps in place and time were a little ragged. I imagine that an unabridged version would be even better. Still I enjoyed this thought-provoking audible book.

Will Mary risk it all or ignore the urgings of her own heart? Critic Reviews: "I loved this story. Quirky and unusual, this unique tale wove a spell around me and drew me in. It wasn't what I expected at all, and when I turned the last page, it left me wanting more."

Title: The Wandering Tree Author: Daniel Wimberley Narrator: Daniel Wimberley Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-17 Publisher: Design Vault, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Poverty has a way of stripping childhood of its dignity, a fact of life that Lincoln Chase knows all too well. Wearing thrift store clothes, praying to the gods of adolescence that some loud-mouthed kid doesn't recognize his old shirt. Building up firewood reserves while other boys are out popping fly balls without a care in the world. It's a relentless condition without a single redeeming quality. Of course, being poor is something that Lincoln has had time to accept. That his father is a convicted murderer, on the other hand...well, that's a fresh wound that'll take some getting used to. And soon enough it'll be the least of his problems. Yet all is not lost. Because in a long neglected hayfield, something extraordinary is happening - something so contrary to human thinking that the rules of possibility begin to unravel. And for a boy like Lincoln, it doesn't merely change the way he sees the world. It changes everything. Members Reviews: ONE OF A KIND NOVEL HAS IT ALL Mystery, humor, angst, tragedy, and earthy reality combine to make this book so excellent, you will ponder over it for a long time. Pieces of the plot will provoke you to wonder about the facts here. Is it based on a true story. Values and events expressed in The Wandering Tree seem like they must be true. The author has a talented way with words, and his imagery stays in my head, Disguised within "tough growing up," vignettes in the story invoke Mark Twain, while deep delving into societal values and attitudes is brilliant. This book goes in my personal Library of Great Books. Five Stars Slow to catch my interest but loved it. The Don't miss this wonderful book. I loved this book. It is a story that keeps one interested through every event. The writing is also interesting and I look forward to more from Mr. Wimberley who has a unique grasp of of language. Very enjoyable. Great story of resilience! A boy deals with poverty, tragedy, and circumstances beyond his control. He comes through it all, not unscathed, but somehow still a caring young man. A very touching story. Great book. A lot of surprises Great book. A lot of surprises. Got a copy for my grandson.

And when the deadly bombing separates Brian from the team, he must make an impossible choice: save his brothers-in-arms, or save the woman and children depending on him to survive a brutal snowstorm. Members Reviews: Great suspense and story This series is really well done. Other than the parallels in framework to the first book, this was its own new story. The humanity and perseverance of the characters is thought provoking and encouraging. The handling of Faith concepts was more natural than in some books. I wish there were more books available in this series and more from this author available on audible. Excellent Book I really enjoyed listening to this book. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series. There is a book before this one. I would suggest listening to it first. It was a good book as well (Raptor). There is no cursing in the book, although the words get creatively close. My only suggestion for this series would be for the author to kind to introduce us to some of the characters first. sometimes the author would bring in a new character and you were thrown for a minute ...trying to catch up on who the person was and how they were connected in the story (the book had a lot of characters). Overall. .. great book! Can't wait for the next book! more please! I love all of Ronie's books that I have read! I also LOVE listening to them on audio! Unfortunately audio only has two of her books! They don't even have the rest in this series! Please get more of her books!!! Incredibly done! Talk about edge of your seat experience! And so wonderful to have a Christian author who can do this and present Jesus at the same time - showing how we need HIM so much when we think we are invincible. So sad to not find the next book on audible!!! Hope it comes out soon!

Title: Shadow of Doubt Subtitle: Newpointe 911 Series, Book 2 Author: Terri Blackstock Narrator: J. C. Howe Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-10 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 118 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A poisoned past. A bitter present. Is Celia a murderer...or a victim? Detective Stan Sheperd lies comatose in the hospital, a victim of arsenic poisoning. The Newpointe police have a suspect: Celia Shepherd, Stan's wife. Celia is no stranger to such charges. When her first husband died of poisoning, a technicality scuttled the case against her, and Celia got off scot-free. Now it looks like the same old story - only this time, the motive appears plain. An old flame has moved into town under circumstances bound to raise suspicion. And that's just for starters. More evidence is gathering that can put Celia away for good. But attorney Jill Clark thinks the pieces of the puzzle fit together a bit too neatly. Either her client's Christian faith is a sham, or she's the victim of a deadly frame up - and the real killer is still afoot. Shadow of Doubt is book two in the Newpointe 911 suspense series by award-winning novelist Terri Blackstock. Newpointe 911 offers taut, superbly crafted novels of fear, faith, and close-knit, small-town relationships, seasoned with romance and tempered by insights into the nature of relationships, redemption, and the human heart. Members Reviews: This book kept me hanging on every word. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it was a well written suspense, mystery novel. What did you like best about this story? It showed how easily conclusions can be jumped to when the right "evidence" is presented. Which scene was your favorite? Aunt Aggie's funeral. If you could rename Shadow of Doubt, what would you call it? No, Perfect. Any additional comments? Was disappointed in the Preacher, Nick. Seemed he whimped out as a pastor, not deep seated in faith as a pastor, or a solid christian should be. love this book!!! I am thoroughly enjoying this book and characters. I especially love aunt Aggie. She is precious and reminds me of my own grandmother who came to know Christ before she died. Brings me hope in my own walk with Christ as well, reminding me of how much He loves me. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, made me laugh out loud and touched my heart deeply. Great book I've enjoyed the writings of Terri Blackstock. The 911 series includes God's Word and Love intertwined within the stories. You get to know and love her characters. I figured out who the murderer was early on, but I wasn't positive until the end. Looking forward to the next book. Going to download it now. Good stories Bad voice I really have enjoyed this series. However the performance on all of them will only get 3 stars because the portrayal of some of the characters sound older than they really are and Stan almost sounds .....dumb. I hate to use that word but can't think of another one to describe it. I will still finish the series.

I did love the different voices in the narroration. . great production, stirring story this tale will keep you riveted, a good reminder of God's ways. a wonderful representation of the difference between acting Christ like and letting God change the heart to be Christ like, in spirit and in truth. 4th chapter repeats itself in narration before end What three words best describe Full Casts voice? Cast voice good, but electronic transmission ruined in last chapter. Any additional comments? Good story. Sad ruined by book repeating itself before end of story.

When a man guns down a pregnant reporter on live TV, her husband sues the manufacturer of the killer's firearm. As opposing lawyers ignite the courtroom with their eloquence and theatrics, a shadowy cabal threatens the advocates and the justice they seek. Critic Reviews: "The legal-thriller genre lends itself to the pattern of conversion that evangelical Christian novels require, and Singer offers logical character developments that aren't heavy-handed. The only stock feature in this well-plotted novel is the generic, fakey-sounding names (Brad Carson, Kelly Starling). But that's a quibble about a book that will entertain readers and make them think - what more can one ask?" (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Awesome, you will want to hear it all at once. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Most definitely. Keeps you wanting to know what is going to happen next. I was surprised at the outcome. book club selection Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? yes. i did not have the time to read it in print, so having the audiobook allowed me to "read" this month's selection while i was doing other things. If youve listened to books by Randy Singer before, how does this one compare? not applicable How could the performance have been better? i have listened to audio books where the reader's vocal interpretation of the various characters has been more interesting and believable. Do you think The Justice Game needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? no; i think a follow-up story would be strained and contrived. this story lends itself to being self-contained; no loose ends. Any additional comments? was happy to have a lead female character who maintained her strength and integrity throughout the entire book. I really enjoyed this book. I recommend it. A lot of suspense and human interest while educating on the views. A great read. Best Treatment of the Gun Debate I loved this book, because of its balanced treatment of a very controversial issue. While I remain a solid 2nd ammendment guy, this book gave me a greater appreciation for those with an opposing view. Tom Stechshulte's character separation was excellent. Anti-Second Amendment What disappointed you about The Justice Game? If you want the freedom to protect yourself this is not the book for you. It is simply a book that recommends that we abolish the 2nd amendment

Life for her is pure bliss and she doesn't think God could bless her any better if He tried. When the father she's had little contact with over the last 30 years shows up and announces he has a daughter from a previous relationship (a relationship he had while married to her mother), Sidra's life begins to make some interesting turns. The sisters embark on a journey of love and self discovery. Will they be able to look past their differences and form a real family? Only time will tell. Members Reviews: Please get someone else to do the readings I love the series, but the women who was speaking made this story almost unbearable. Her "southern" accent was killing me softly. It's not get fault I guess, but I always understood the main characters to be African American and she wasn't doing them any justice. First go round. This book has been on my "To Read" list forever. I finally decided to listen to the audio version. While the story line was very good, the narration was very disappointing! The character voices wouldn't have been so bad, but the timing was off and made it difficult to relate to picture the characters. I plan to listen to Book #2, but if the flow od the reader is off, I may not make it to Book #3!

Title: Enchantress Subtitle: A Novel of Rav Hisda's Daughter Author: Maggie Anton Narrator: Mozhan Marno Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Fantastic tales of demons and the Evil Eye, magical incantations, and powerful attractions abound in Enchantress, a novel that weaves together Talmudic lore, ancient Jewish magic, and a timeless love story set in fourth-century Babylonia. One of the most powerful practitioner of these mysterious arts is Rav Hisdas daughter, whose innate awareness allows her to possess the skills men lack. With her husband, Rava - whose arcane knowledge of the secret Torah enables him to create a "man" out of earth and to resurrect another rabbi from death - the two brave an evil sorceress, Ashmedai the Demon King, and even the Angel of Death in their quest to safeguard their people, even while putting their romance at risk. The author of the acclaimed Rashis Daughters series and the award-winning Rav Hisdas Daughter: Apprentice has conjured literary magic in the land where "abracadabra" originated. Based on five years of research and populated with characters from the Talmud, Enchantress brings a pivotal era of Jewish and Christian history to life from the perspective of a courageous and passionate woman. Members Reviews: Wonderful book -weak narrator The book is simply captivating. Unfortunately, I have never had the experience that I regretted that I was listening to an audio version instead of reading it myself like I did with this! Fantastic Book! Where does Enchantress rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Probably number 1 or 2. Who was your favorite character and why? Hisdadukh Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mozhan Marno? Anyone else! I, personally, think she was horrible. The long pauses were distracting. Luckily, I read this book on my Kindle a year or so ago and this was not the first time I was experiencing the story. I found her pauses very distracting and irritating. I would love to repurchase this book with another narrator. She absolutely did NOT do justice to Ms. Anton's fabulous book!!!!!

As Rachael works on the case on her own, she begins to suspect that Josh knows who the real killer is, but she's unable to get him to cooperate with his defense. When Rachael asks her husband, Trace, and his fellow artist friends to sketch the scene of the crime as they see it, a new piece of the puzzle becomes apparent...a piece that ultimately leads to a much bigger truth.

A young man's commitment made at such a young age, and his willingness to follow through no matter what was a very good idea for this story.

Well done.

Goss Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Rose has loved Quinn since she first set eyes on him at age 15. A tragedy causes him to spiral out of control and use saloon women and drinking to forget. She knows she can save him by tricking him into marrying her. Misfortune leaves Quinn grieving. He turns away from family, friends, and good, clean Christian living. Rose's trick works, but there would be consequences to pay because Quinn refuses to consummate the marriage. Members Reviews: This kept me listening! Shadow of Regret is a sweet, clean Christian historical romance. This story was really good. I finished it in one day. The story starts with Quinn suffering a tragic loss that sets his world off kilter and basically kills his faith. It seems as if nothing will set him back on the right track until Rose comes along. She is so in love with him and is determined to help him find his way again. Faith does play an important part in this book, but it's done in a way that doesn't feel like it is shoved down your throat. This was a short, but very good story. I kept making the dogs walk farther, so that I could listen longer (no dogs were harmed in the making of this review). I was totally invested in the story and the characters. The tension that built between the two was sweet and sometimes funny. The narration by Tom Jordan was awesome. This was my first audio book narrated by him. In my opinion, he ranks right up there with Sebastian York. A good time all the way around! Fallen Angels The Shadow series is set in post-Civil War Abilene, Kansas, after the cattle drives have been banned from turning the town into a 3-ring and dangerous circus. Now settlers are moving in with families, bringing civilization and religion. Two of these families and their friends are initially highlighted, the daughters of one family, the sons of the other, as the girls reach young-womanhood and the boys become men. The daily struggles of pumping water for drinking, cooking and cleaning; hitching horses to wagons or currying, saddling, riding them; appropriate attire and behavior--all these details are attended to scrupulously as interesting backgrounds and plots emerge. I have had the privilege to read/hear [AUDIO] each of these well-narrated stories in order and certainly each enhances the depth of the next, but if one picks up any of them the tale will remain rich and rewarding with strong, faith-based values imparted as the foibles of mankind cripple or aid the courtship which is the point but not always the focus of each. Book 3 gives us a glimpse of the seamier side of life in the wild west and doesn't shrink from the realities of how far a man or woman can fall before seeking redemption. But the key IS the redemption, with a plot worthy of a Lone Ranger episode and characters whom you care about. Such a Wonderful Story About Love & Moving Forward Shadow of Regret was so good. It was bittersweet at first and very endearing. I loved Martha but also Rose. Rose has always revolved around Quinn and I felt they were perfect together. But I did miss Martha. I enjoy the quality of Barbara Goss's books. She writes very well and her stories have meaning. They're clean and the characters are well-rounded. An excellent listen although I missed book two in the series. I was familiar with most characters but I would listen to the whole series in order. Tom Jordan's narration was so so good.

This child comes to her late in life following the death of her estranged husband. She resolves to play the role of both father and mother to the child. Ivan was her one true love and despite his infidelities, she mourns his loss and vows never to trust another man. But when a meddling - but good hearted - Englisch woman plays matchmaker for Katie Ann and Eli Detweiler who just arrived in Canaan, they both need to restructure their expectations of the future and step onto the new path God is paving for them. Members Reviews: How Wonderful Beth has done it again! Katie Ann seemed like such a pitiful soul by the end of the last book that I wasn't looking forward to seeing more of her sorrow, but I was wrong. Beth can take a heart-rending situation and weave it into a heart-warming story. I have listened to this one a few times and hope to listen it many more. My Favorite All Time Story Would you listen to The Wonder of Your Love again? Why? I hour have listened to "The Wonder of Your Love" 6 times so far and read along with the story on my Kindle! It has become one of my favorites! What did you like best about this story? The love that abounded around Katie as she struggled through a devastating change in her life. Which character as performed by Kirsten Potter was your favorite? Katie. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I was anxious to get to it after listening/reading "Seek Me With All Your Heart" and had prepared to take the whole day to endulge myself. Any additional comments? Great book! Excellent narrator! Awesome narration! Kirsten Potter is amazing and I find myself wishing I could adopt her Amish accent. I really enjoyed this book and super enjoyed the ending. I wasn't sure how it would be resolved, but I have to give major kudos to Beth Wiseman for keeping me engaged and hopeful until the very last. The last part of the Publisher's summary says it perfectly. It's totally about restructuring your expectations and following God's path for you! My only complaint is that so far in the series both relationships start with kissing that all parties think cannot lead to anything, shows how much they know. I'd like to see a relationship develop in a different way; where the characters show a little self control, regardless of the path God has for them. Great narration What did you love best about The Wonder of Your Love? I love the works by Beth Wiseman. The reason why I love her books is because they are a healthy alternative to the main stream romance, they do provide you with a pause from reality in addition to bringing comfort and hope. This book is not part of one of her series, however it is a spin-off and I have to say I really enjoyed how the author handled topics such as infidelity, doubt and fear. The reason why I don't give this book five stars is mainly because a title earning five stars should not be "just another day dream". It is well-written without being a master piece.

Narrator Barbara Caruso vividly brings to life Rachel's setbacks and victories as the young woman struggles to move from the darkness into the light. Members Reviews: Like a TV evangelist Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? No. I got the message the purpose was to preach to me rather than tell a story. I appreciate the religion being more subtle rather than literally shoved at me over and over. What do you think your next listen will be? Beth Wiseman books. Until now Ms Lewis has been my favorite author of Amish books. After this book, I won't be purchasing one of her books for quite some time,. What do you think the narrator could have done better? She did a fine job Do you think The Crossroad needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No another winner by Beverly Lewis I love this! But then I so enjoy Beverly Lewis' books, why the amish are so interesting I do not know but I truly enjoyed this little series. You get so involved with these people's lives you begin to think they are real!! Enjoy good clean reading!!

But one summer can change everything. In the years since her twin brothers tragic drowning, Madison has struggled with her ability to trust God - or anyone else, for that matter. It was her brother's dream to win the annual River Sail Regatta in their small harbor town of Chapel Springs, Indiana. And Madison's determined to honor his legacy by making his dream her own. Maybe then she can finally find closure. But learning to sail means learning to swim. And her instructor is Beckett O'Reilly, a man who already has two strikes against him in Madison's eyes. Being on the water terrifies Madison. But Beckett's calming presence and unwavering confidence eases her fear. And as much as shed like to deny it, the chemistry between them is electrifying. As her feelings for him grow, a fledging faith begins to take root in her soul, as well. With Beckett, Madison feels alive for the first time in years - carefree and confident she can win the regatta, maybe even find love. But Beckett harbors a secret that will test the limits of their love and the depth of Madison's faith. Will their love survive summer's challenge? And will achieving her brother's dream give Madison the peace she desperately seeks? Members Reviews: Sweet story involving characters with real life issues This is another good book by Denise Hunter. This was a little slow going at first but it was certainly worth hanging on until the end. Madison has never gotten over the death of her twin brother in a drowning after hitting his head. If she can just get his sailboat refurbished and learn to sail in the local Regatta, she thinks she will get over the grief and nightmares that plague her. But, and it's a big but, she has to get over her fear of the water. She wins an auction for sailing lessons with an sailing expert but he has work to come up that will take him out of town some weekends and she has to split the lessons between him and local bad boy, Beckett. Beckett won't teach her to sail until she gets over her fear of the water. Lots of barriers stand between the two of them...he is the son of a drunk and she is from what Beckett perceives as a normal, upstanding family. He has been in tons of trouble in the past and she is a high achiever and is now a veterinarian. One thing from their past is that he kissed her at a high school dance when she was a sophomore and he was a senior. They have each had a little bit of a crush on the other but nothing ever came of it. And there was a recent misunderstanding between the two concerning Madison's sister, who left town abruptly. Now they have to work together on getting Madison ready for the sailing regatta. Talk about awkward. But Beckett has changed his life around and is going to church and doing a Bible study. Madison has always gone to church but can't understand why God would allow her twin, a Christian, to die at seventeen years old. Both have to face their pasts so that they can see the future and what is in store for them.

The Pilgrim's Progress Audiobook by John Bunyan

Embarking on a journey to the Celestial City, Christian travels through Vanity-Fair, the Slough of Despond, and the Delectable Mountains and is helped and hindered by those he meets on his path, including Worldly-Wiseman, who tempts him, Faithful, who is martyred, and Hopeful, who encourages him to reach Heaven. Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress while in prison for his faith, which lends a directness and urgency to this tale, still vital centuries later. Members Reviews: Very Engaging I enjoy listening to this story over and over. Once just isn't enough. There is too much depth to chew on, contemplate, enjoy, for only one listen. I am glad I own it. It is one of those rare classics, that listening to it at different ages of life, you get different truths from it, since as you age, your perspective develops, too. If you are one who enjoys C.S. Levis, and Jonathon Swift's Gulliver's Travels, you will likely enjoy this, also!

She has adapted the screenplay for The Nativity Story into a powerful, historical novel. Her moving novelization tells the extraordinary tale of two common people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, an arduous journey, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. Brought to life with an unprecedented attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy, Hunt tells how, from humble beginnings, great things can come. Critic Reviews: "A fresh and viable retelling....[Hunt's] rich prose and cultural details utilize the five senses to recreate the familiar story." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: well done i think that the story was well done though we dont know for sure how all was percieved between mary and joseph and there families it was believable possible and not at all intruding or insulting of our Lords Birth i listened twice and will listen agian i loved it I don't even need to wait I am only on chapter 2 and I know this is amazing and moving. Veru few books do this to me. Could have listened to the movie sound track It was like listening to the movie sound track. I expected additional information as is usual when a book is made into a movie. Not so with this audio. The narrator was disappointing. She has a sweet voice but all voices were almost identical. I guess I have been spoiled by excellent narrators. Too Vanilla I believe the summary for this book indicates the author did a lot of research for this book and I would heartily disagree. There were tidbits here and there about jewish customs and practices, but also glaring inaccuracies that really frustrated me. The fictionalized portions were very tender and sweet about how Joseph took care of Mary. So if you are simply looking for a sweet Nativity narration, this book is for you. However, if you are looking to learn about cultures and customs this book falls tragically short.

Gently uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living on a quiet cul-de-sac, the authors show us the power of ordinary lives being knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family and friendships. Members Reviews: Wish I could return this book What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The narrator is awful it sounds like it has been recorded in a closet I have no idea what the book is about cause I couldn't listen! I have been a member of Audible for years and this never happened before. I tried to listen about 3 times for about 30 minutes each time and I couldn't get into it. What do you think your next listen will be? Nothing with narrator again How did the narrator detract from the book? She was awful her attempt at male and children's voices was horrible. Her reading of the book is completely flat and pauses in the wrong spot. Sorry I tried to like it. Touching Story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This novel deals with real life everyday issues and how Christians deal with them. You see financial struggles tragedies and triumphs. The friends work and pray together in a way that makes me want to reach out more to my neighbors. What was one of the most memorable moments of Seasons Under Heaven? I can't imagine anyone forgetting the scene where the handicapped child accepted Christ. Which scene was your favorite? When they were all discussing best moments. love conflict comunity and friendship this was a look into a neighborhood relationships and helping hand a good example of how it used to be and how it should be in the love your neghbor kind a way enjoyable listen! I really enjoyed listening to Seasons Under Heaven. It held my interest and engaged my emotions. I thought the reader did an excellent job of bringing out the authors intent and I loved the well rendered and different voices she brought to all the characters. An A+! good story, but... The story was good, but the person reading it was so bad...she did fine on the women but her awful rendition of mens' voices ruined it for me. I didn't finish it.

Jane March's greeting cards have lost their jingle. While worried about her job at New England's Cobblestone Cards, she stumbles upon a forgotten box of her mother's nostalgic paintings. They depict small-town Addison's covered bridge and red barns and picket-fenced colonials. If only Jane's designs could capture the same heart. When her mother shows her how with a Christmas to-do list of memories in the making, Jane gets checking. Wes Davis has come home again, jilted and a little bitter. His autumn wedding's off and so is his holiday spirit. Even seeing the rustic wooden deer his father whittles by lantern light doesn't help as he settles back into the shabby Victorian home of his childhood. It is only when Wes encounters the sparkling Jane March on his winding mail route that his cold winter heart begins to thaw. As the fall months turn wintry, and the season merry, a funny thing happens in this charming Connecticut town: Jane and Wes check off items on that Christmas itinerary, together. But falling in love wasn't included on the list. Or was it? Snow Deer and Cocoa Cheer is a treasured keepsake, reminding us that like winter's first snow, life brings a beautiful flurry of its own unexpected moments. Members Reviews: Cheery novel! I enjoyed Snow Deer & Cocoa Cheer as a cozy light seasonal read.The author really has an eye for detail and talent for description. She sets the story of Jane and Wes in fictional Addison, a New England town. The details of the decorations, foliage, food, clothes, traditions and characters are very 'real.' The story is a typical romance with a few hiccups along the way. You must pardon a few grammatical errors and typos and the fact that the same catch phrases are used by multiple characters. The book prepares the reader for Thanksgiving and Christmas and is not disturbing in any way- the town is enchanting, and one would like to visit or even live there. I enjoy how DeMaio entwines places and people from her past novels into the story.There is a happy ending- that's the formula. This is the type of book, among others, that I enjoy reading at this time of year. I also find that the author has really grown as a writer with each new book. Wonderful Here is another great book written by Joanne DeMaio's! Keep writing because I enjoy all of your books. This is such a heartwarming book. Christmas! The best story of my season. Much to love, much to learn, and joy to share. Thank you for the liftâï Four Stars Good bit of fiction. Like all the "snowy" descriptions Five Stars Great Read! I did not want to put the book down.

In obedience to a divine Nudge, 47-year-old Allison Chamberlain buys a Harley and waits for further instructions. Those instructions turn her into a reluctant prophet who points out the narrow fears of her church group and take her into the darkest parts of her city. Members Reviews: Very Good Christian Fiction Allison went from being a rich teen to out of work forty something. When God tells her to buy a Harley she has no way of paying for it, but somehow God provides the money. She goes from being what her church wants her to be to an outcast because she reaches beyond their comfort zone. It makes you want to ask yourself which Christian will you be? Of all the characters we meet I loved the teenage boy Desmond the best, the reader brings his character to life in such a way it's both humerous and real. I understand there is a second book and I can't wait to either read or listen to it. Amazing! I loved every bit of this book. I plan on getting all of her works. I saw there's a 2nd book for the reluctant prophet, but it's not on Audible! Please make this happen! I highly recommend this book! Average story that left me wanting more Is there anything you would change about this book? I wish Alison was more relate-able as a christian. You never hear her praying except for "Please God Please God". You never see her make mistakes in her christian walk. I wish she would have been more human in her christian walk, but stumbled at times in a relate-able way and was then redeemed from her mistakes. If youve listened to books by Nancy Rue before, how does this one compare? This was my first What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her accents helped me quickly differentiate who was speaking. It was helpful. Could you see The Reluctant Prophet being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Alison would be played my Helen Hunt and Chief would be Tommy Lee Jones. Just "ok" Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I tried to hang in there because I thought it was a great topic. However, the story line moved a bit too slow without a lot of depth into the characters. I stopped short of finishing. Loved it, was scared at first I was scared at first, sometimes I feel like a reluctant prophet, the sense of if I read this I'm going to have to change was large so I read another book, when I finished that one there was no where for me to hide, this story chased me held me down, calmed me down and made me say OK God here I am send me, I know if you're in it if will be OK, the writer is wonderfully cheeky and real and encourages you to be you, the story is a treasure, if your a Christian and want to be useful. Read "the reluctant prophet". It will make you stand up and be counted, it has humour, danger, heartbreak, reconciliation, LOVE, and God's help & assurance all over it.

The Song of Bernadette Audiobook by Franz Werfel

Title: The Song of Bernadette Author: Franz Werfel Narrator: Johanna Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-03 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 102 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Considered one of the greatest novels of simple and triumphant religious faith to be published in the 20th century, how the The Song of Bernadette came to be written is an inspirational - even miraculous - story in its own right. In June 1940, famed Austrian author Franz Werfel and his beautiful wife, Alma Mahler, were on a desperate flight across France, seeking to escape certain death at the hands of the Nazi invaders. Franz had written many articles and given many radio speeches denouncing their tyranny. Repeatedly thwarted in their attempts to cross the French border into neutral Spain, they found temporary refuge in the small town of Lourdes, home of the famous shrine where the virtuous Bernadette received visions of the Virgin Mary and where millions came in faith to seek a miracle. During his time in Lourdes, Werfel became fascinated with Bernadette's story, and then, as his faith grew, he began to visit the sacred grotto every day, taking the waters and swearing an oath that, should he and his wife be granted escape from the Nazis, he would write the story of Bernadette for all the world to savor. Franz's prayers were answered. In a harrowing ascent over the Pyrenees mountains, he and Alma fled to Spain and then on to America. Once there Franz kept his promise. He wrote The Song of Bernadette, his masterpiece, a beautiful fusion of faith and craft. Members Reviews: Marvelous! Having seen the movie version many times and having read the actual book, it is now a privilege to listen to Johanna Ward's marvelous reading of "The Song of Bernadette" by Franz Werfel. She really makes the story come alive. The book itself is a wondrous telling of the story of Bernadette and "the Lady," and to hear it so masterfully read is one more way to experience its power, its beauty, its ability to touch the heart. Well done! THE LADY CHOOSES. How fitting that The Lady chose such a scholarly author to present to the world the great beauty and dignity of the lofty soul of an almost illiterate peasant girl. If one such as he, (Franz Werfel), and a non-Catholic to boot, could paint such a convincing picture, how could the Lady's message to the world not get through to all? I will read this wonderfully inspiring book many, many times. Great performance of a moving work What made the experience of listening to The Song of Bernadette the most enjoyable? I recently watched the movie for the first time since I was a boy, and it moved me to wonder about the book on which the film was based. This recording proved a welcome companion on my morning commute, as the narration is outstanding. Johanna Ward manages to convey a remarkable array of characters consistently and convincingly, and brings off the French passages flawlessly. I wish the author had devoted less space to the political intrigues that followed upon Bernadette's visions, but even those portions flow smoothly because of the fine narration. If you want an objective account of the events at Lourdes, this isn't the best source; but as a dramatic re-telling of their impact and significance, this book is hard to beat. Saint Bernadette and her family come to life! A moving tribute to this reluctant saint, excellently performed by Ms. Ward. It was a pleasure to listen. Excellent inspiring story, well written, good reader.

Brill and her husband Kurt struggle to deal with the shattered hopes and dreams they had for their daughter, and things get worse when Vanessa's psychology professor disappears without a trace, and Brill finds out he's deceived Vanessa and she could be in danger. An FBI friend uses his vacation time to watch Brill's back, but the ex-con determined to kill her has been unstoppable each time he has gone after a target. Brill must face her own mortality and trust that God's plan for her life will unfold exactly as He has ordained. Based on Romans 1:16. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes." Listen to another title in the . Members Reviews: Should have been a novella Pros - The characters developed in the first book, carry over and are well developed. If you've listened to the first book, you'll already care about the characters and what happens to them. Cons - First, too much time is spent referencing the events of the first novel. While I agree it was necessary to help the reader understand what some of the characters have been through and how that effects their motivations, actions, etc., it was simply overdone. Second - Far too many scenes simply re-hashed information already given to the reader without moving the story forward. For example, most of the scenes in Nick's Diner only summarized the prior events and did nothing to advance the story. I honestly got the sense that I could have come in at the middle of the novel and know everything that had happened prior as soon as crowd at Nick's had lunch. Third - The character inconsistency in Vanessa was kind irritating. She's feels convicted of her sinful relationship, yet has no problem deceiving her parents and the authorities in relation to her trips to the park?? Bottomline.. If you enjoyed the first book (which I did), you may want to listen just because of the characters. But Kathy Herman has got a lot of work to do on her storytelling.

Members Reviews: Long and somewhat boring, disappointed. Would you try another book from Vannetta Chapman and/or Pam Ward? Yes, Pam Ward is great reader, story was just very drawn out and boring to me. Would you be willing to try another book from Vannetta Chapman? Why or why not? Yes, just didnt like this one mysteries become the amish the familiar setting and characters make it easier to listen as the murder mystery unfolds in Shipsewanna, Indianna. As the clues twist and turn the and a new mystery weaves in, the quilting buddies untangle and help solve not 1 but 2 mysteries, entertaining listeners in the process. Very good book! I recommend this book to all ages. You feel like you get to know all the characters personally. Vanetta Chapman is a terrific writer of Amish mystery. Pam Ward narrates wonderfully. Clear voice and easy to follow along with. Excellent Sequel This trilogy of books is so well written that I enjoyed each one as much as the other. God's plan in perfect, in good times and bad times In book two of the Shipshewana Amish mysteries, A PERFECT SQUARE is not only quilted by the Amish women in this community, but it becomes the guidance for God's perfect leading in one's life, even in the painful and difficult times for God's people. When a young girl is found dead in a local pond, all the evidence points to one man, but the ladies of Callie's quilt shop are sure that the wrong man has been arrested. The biggest problem in proving his innocence, is his determination to say nothing in his defense. At the same time, an elderly Amish man shows up in Callie's garden, wanting Callie to find his daughter, but his dementia makes his request seem a bit unbelievable, as the man's grown son says that he doesn't have a sister. Once again the "Englisher", Callie, and her new Amish friends, are drawn into both of these mysteries. Through many situations of family life, romantic strife, thrilling situations, and the love of God and his people, everything fantastically, comes into perfect alignment for everyone's lives in the long run. Though everything does not necessarily turn out as the characters would have hoped for, they all see God's leading in their lives. Lovely story of friendships and belief in God, once again produces a winning book in this fun and beautiful series. There is just enough tension to keep the reader thoroughly interested in what will happen next.

Luckily she's working alongside brash librarian Austina Shaker, a lady who isn't afraid to make waves to get books to her patrons - even the Amish. Unfortunately this draws the ire of cranky Bartholomew Belier, an Old Order Amish bishop who publicly vows to ruin Austina. And she certainly might be ruined after Belier is found dead in her bookmobile. Now Angie must employ the help of her loyal quilting circle - as well as her beloved French bulldog, Oliver - if she hopes to prove Austina's innocence before the real killer books it.... Members Reviews: Entertaining This is an entertaining series that does a very good job of interweaving Amish and American ideas. The plot and most of the characters are realistic. The action is fast paced and I never feel the story line lag. The only character that I have a problem with is Angie, the lead character. Angie is immature and makes silly mistakes. However, the supporting characters save the story. I look forward to the next book. Snowflake As with the rest of the series, it is a cliffhanger!! I can't wait to start the next book. Murder Plainly Read I liked the book very much. I love that Oliver is included in the story, since I am a dog lover it just makes me like the book more. I highly recommend the book. It is clean with no bad language and no sexual content.

Tribal feuds, drought, and dislocation have left their devastation. And he sees a new wound a once-dormant volcano oozing molten lava across the dry landscape and clouds of ash obscure his vision. His undercover assignment is similarly obscured. Supposedly, dispatched to audit a relief organizations accounts, Marc finds himself amid the squalor and chaos of Kenyan refugee camps caught in a stranglehold of corruption and ruthlessness. But his true task relates to the areas reserves of once-obscure metals now indispensible to high-tech industry. The value of this rare earth inflames tensions on the worlds stage as well as among warring tribes. When an Israeli medical administrator, Kitra, seeks Marcs help with her humanitarian efforts, they forge an unexpected link between impoverished African villages and another Silicon Valley rising in the Israeli desert. Precious metals and inventive minds promise new opportunities for prosperity, secure futures, and protection of valuable commodities from terrorists. As Marc prepares to report back to Washington, he seizes a chance to restore justice to this troubled land. This time, he may have gone too far. Members Reviews: The ending ... what happened? Any additional comments? I liked the book, its pace, the story line. However, the last 30 minutes of the audio book were strange, seemingly rushed. It seemed unclear why Mark Royce made his decision. Perhaps it was a single line buried in the narrative. If so, I missed it, which was a shame. The whole wrap-up of the end was so anticlimactic that it diminished the overall work. Rather like running into a brick wall that drops onto a road just as the destination becomes visible. Despite this, there were hours of pleasurable listening. I am a fan of Phil Gigante as the narrator of the story. He makes it very easy to keep track of the different characters by using distinctive voices for each. His reading brings the work to life. Thanks Phil. Rare Earth This is now one of my all time favorite books. The story was beautiful and amazing. Such a rich, vibrant story. The characters were remarkable and quite memorable. The narrator gave an excellent performance. Great Listening Narrator did a great job will all of the voices. I was able to keep track of the characters simply because of the different voices. Entertaining solid read I thought this the author did a good job in his writing for this book. He took a unique topic, added intrigue and mystery along with a international relationship between two main characters and came up with a good, solid book. In spite of all the rave reviews, I didn't feel like this book was all it could have been. But it was definitely worth the time it takes to read it. Spectacular Glorious writing! Very entertaining ! A must read! I loved the first book and can't wait to start the next one

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: She quickly meets her dream mate, a preacher, who falls head over heels in love with her. Surely, God is good! But things start slipping when another man from Jasmine's past refuses to stay there and an unexpected pregnancy threatens to sabotage all of her dreams. Will Jasmine's lying and scheming continue, or will she finally learn that honesty is the only path to redemption? Members Reviews: Don't Waste Your Credits The narrarator for this book was awful. I gave it about 30 minutes and wanted my money back. As any audio lister knows, the narraration is what makes the book. Although, I'm sure Ms. Murphy's book was descent, the story teller was terrible. A Sin and A Shame I like the book as a whole, But I could hear the reader say "stop" when she wanted to stop the recording. Sometimes I would hear her repeat the sentences 2 to 3 times to get it right. This took place on part 1 of the book, part 2 was done much better. I feel the recording should really be done over. As far as the book, it reminds a person of GOD's love, forgiveness and mercy, which is a good thing. The Worst Narration I've ever heard! Would you try another book from Victoria Christopher Murray and/or Monalisa Wilson? By Victoria Christopher Murray - Deffinately. In fact, I have a few other books she's written and enjoyed them very much. But narrated by Monalisa Wilson? Never. The only reason I listened to more than the first chapter of this book is because I had started the sequel to it and wanted the background to that story (Too Little, Too Late). Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Monalisa Wilson? The woman who successfully narrates (dramatizes) Victoria C. Murray's other books - Patricia ? She does a great job. Any additional comments? Ms Wilson's narration completely spoiled this story for me. (Not to mention the production problems - background noises, Ms. Wilson`s mistakes being corrected, to name a couple) "Hated" I did not like this one bit couldn't get through it. It was a "Sin a Shame" to let her read this book, because she realy messed up a good book. Great Story This was a great story however The narrarator for this book was awful, she was the worse I have ever heard. Many times it seemed that she was just not a good reader. The book also sounded like narrarator was not edited but thought she would be and therefore did not care about her clear mistakes.

A princess doomed by a witch to lose her "gravity" results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald's masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story. ©1984 George MacDonald; (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Classic Fairy Tale with an Odd Twist I thought when I saw the title, 'The Light Princess', that this was going to be a story about a princess that somehow had something to do with lights, like shining or glowing lights. But no, it's about a princess who is cursed at her christening so that gravity has no power over her. Unless she's held down, she's so 'light' that she floats up in the air. It's kind of cute and kind of weird, but basically it's a classic fairy tale about a princess in distress who is rescued by a prince, and they live happily ever after. I rolled my eyes at the beginning of it, but really, I rather liked it by the time I got to the end! Fond Memories Revisited I very fondly remember my father reading this story to me when I was a little girl, and I have loved it ever since. Now that I am an adult, I can fully appreciate George MacDonald's sharp, yet gentle, wit and the story's themes of unselfishness, sacrifice and love. And of course, I still enjoy the romance between the prince and princess. Definitely one of my favorite fairy tales of all time! I hope to one day read it to my children. :) This is a wonderful fairy tale of a princess who was "cursed" with ... This is a wonderful fairy tale of a princess who was "cursed" with a lack of gravity, therefore she was light. The clever ending and the overcoming of the curse, is heartwarming and satisfying. The old english text would be difficult for young readers. I retold a condensed version of this story to my young grandchildren. They loved it. "Light of spirit, by my charms, Light of body, every part... ...Never weary human arms-Only crush thy parents' heart!" Enjoyable fairy tale, my favorite passage being "He had fallen in love with her almost, already; for her anger made her more charming than any one else had ever beheld her..." Fine book and a good buy only made better if you can find it as part of a worthy collection. Love the Light Princess!! The Light Princess is one of my favorite stories ever! I would love it if there was an adaptation got smaller children- would make a wonderful bedtime story. Anyways, if you like C.S. Lewis and Grimm fairytales, you will love George MaDonald's fantasy stories!

In the small Illinois town of Bradbury, change doesn't come often, and it certainly doesn't come easily. So when Pastor Fletcher hires Emily Duke as the new choir director at Zion Lutheran Church, he unknowingly sets in motion a chain of events that turns the life of his congregation upside down. The crusty church secretary, Mrs. Scheinberg, must learn to adjust her curmudgeonly ways. Zion's talented but pompous organist, Evan Ebner, must recognize his shortcomings. Emily must come to terms with her past. Even Pastor Fletcher must face reality when his world is shaken by the baggage Emily brings and by the handsome Zachary Brandt who pursues her. With its host of lovable and relatable characters, House of Living Stones will find a special place on your bookshelf and in your heart. Members Reviews: Loved It! I'm an avid audiobook reader and prefer books in audio form so I can listen while I drive, work, etc. I was thrilled when I found out Katie Schuermann's House of Living Stones was being released in audio format. I just finished listening to it, and the audio version is even better than the print version. I usually prefer male narrators for audiobooks and sometimes find female narrators' voice too high pitched and distracting. But Katie's voice was smooth and a joy to listen to. Katie does sing throughout the book (since songs are part of the book's content). At first I was surprised by the singing, but as the book progressed I found the songs drawing me into the story of Bradbury's residents. The book is a charming story of a Lutheran church congregation's life together in a small town in the Mid-West. It's full of laughs. I was listening to it while I was working, and people kept asking me why I was smiling and giggling to myself. I was sad when the book ended and I hope that Katie will release the 2nd book in the series in audio form in the future. Easy listening! The narrator was spot on. Loved the way she read life into her characters and made the book come alive. Thanks for keeping me chuckling! Great listening! I liked the characters, the flow of the story, and the glimpse into a small church community with its various problems, joys, and personalities. With humor and heart, the author does an excellent job interpreting her words for listeners. Highly recommend! BEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE EVER! Irresistible story, setting, and characters, AND THE BEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER HEARD. More, please, soon@ Even better than the book Would you listen to House of Living Stones again? Why? I will definitely be listening to this again. What does Katie Schuermann bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Katie brings not just her characters but the music--so much a part of her books--to life. Hearing the hymns sung adds so much to the book, which I can imagine would be especially true if one weren't familiar with them already. Any additional comments? I could (and I'm sure I will) listen to this over and over. The book has already been a repeat read for me, and I'm sure the audio book will be a repeat listen. I can see it as the sort of comforting story I come to again and again--and now it will be even easier since it is in audio book form.

But when she returns to the Reconstruction-era South, shes shocked to discover the man shes dreamed of for so long has become a bitter, angry recluse. Colin Delany, the handsome older brother of her best friend, has lost all he once held dear, with no hope of ever restoring the Belle Fleuve mansion and plantation. Filled with spunk and determination, Kate feels its her duty to help, so when Colin demands she roll up her drawings and get out, she refuses. And when Colin forces Kate to promise his dying sister they will care for his niece and nephew, she complies. Having been orphaned herself, Kate realizes she must put the childrens welfare above her own, even if it means a marriage of convenience. But will Colins hovering darkness ever lift? And can Kates persistent love and faith transform their uncertain future? Book three in the Irish Angel series explores the hope of a reflection of love in a heart of glass." Members Reviews: Nice Finish to a Wonderful Series It was nice to see this book was different than the other two. This sister (Kate) still has tragedy in her life but not like the other sisters. Kate had a better childhood and upbringing...she studied architecture and basically had her own career. This story is a love story of Kate and Colin. I wont give any of their story away but I did enjoy this book. I liked the ending because I felt it all came full circle and I love happy endings! Tragedy angle switch was nice. I liked this story. I liked that the tragedy was not completely on Kate and moved to Colin. Hate to think their family was only doomed for tragedy. Good series. Disappointed after the first two I was so excited about this book coming out after reading the first two in the series. The story was no where near as captivating. Wrong Summary for Story What did you love best about Heart of Glass? It was an enjoyable story, however, it was less so because I was expecting a completely different story. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? The right summary/book description! Any additional comments? Please fix the summary!

When her birth mother comes to Paradise, Linda is drawn to a world she's never known. Will the direction she's been heading since birth be suddenly derailed, and who will stand by her convictions-mother or daughter? Members Reviews: Fab series: The weakest book in the series? Would you try another book from Beth Wiseman and/or Renee Ertl? Yes: This fantastic idea of a clean romance series for adults is a thril. Whilst, this plot is top slick, it takes you back to the amish world. The characters remains the same.The main characters though differs from book to book. The things I adore are the ouls coming back. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? The ending should be realistic. Which character as performed by Renee Ertl was your favorite? Jonas Was Plain Paradise worth the listening time? Every book is worthy our time. Any additional comments? Pick up book #1. So perfect. Simply wonderful A great story with a great message full of hope and direction. A fabulous book which will remain a treasure. Excellent story but not my favourite in the series I was surprised to find that this was probably my least favourite of Beth Wiseman's novels so far, but still an excellent story! I think this is attributed to how young Linda was, as it made her a bit more difficult to relate to. Sometimes she could be quite immature, which didn't settle well with the fact she was constantly thinking about getting married to Stephen, and made me wonder whether she was really old enough to be a wife and mother. I loved reading about Josie and Mary Ellen reconciling their differences, even if this was only a small part of the novel. A lot of the novel focused on Josie's spiritual journey, and readers of my reviews will know that conversion plots aren't exactly a favourite of mine, but Josie's was interesting to read. I loved that Beth displayed how powerful prayer and healing can be, topics which can sometimes be a bit taboo among certain Christian circles. God still heals, even in the twenty-first century, and even among the Amish! So although I didn't always relate to Linda due to her youth, I did thoroughly enjoy this novel and will be looking out for the opportunity to read the final book in the series. 8/10

I love the location. The descriptions are true to the Smokies. Who was your favorite character and why? Kurt, I enjoyed his faith throughout the series. I admire his devotion. How did the narrator detract from the book? Good book,but performer needs to know how locals pronounce the towns. I lived in the area for about 5 years and the performer said most of the names of the local town BAD. It distracted me from the story. Great Listen I have read other books by Kathy Herman, this was my first time listening to one of her books. She really jumps right into the book and gets you hooked with the first few sentences! You will not be disappointed by this book.

Title: No Distance Too Far Subtitle: Home to Blessing Author: Lauraine Snelling Narrator: Stina Nielsen Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: CBA best-selling author Lauraine Snelling has garnered numerous awards for her novels of faith and inspiration. Set in 1904 North Dakota, this compelling sequel to A Measure of Mercy features a gifted medical school graduate struggling to discern Gods will for her life. Assuming the Lord wants her to practice medicine in a remote African outpost, Astrid Bjorklund enrolls in a missionary training school. As she prepares for the isolation and privation of a primitive land, she prays her former sweetheart will one day understand. But when a family crisis calls her home to Blessing, Astrid hears of a deadly measles outbreak on a nearby Indian reservation. Feeling inexplicably constrained to help, she wonders if God might be leading her to a mission field thats much closer than she imagined. As Snelling draws listeners into the web of this enthralling tale, Stina Nielsens superb narration highlights the sometimes-conflicting demands of duty, faith, and love. Members Reviews: Love Inga I love this book series, from the beginning Ive followed their stories. She keeps you entranced and emotional involves you. Ms. Snelling knows how to show Gods grace and love through her stories. I listen every time Im in the car and have sat in my driveway continuing the story because I cant bare to wait until tomorrow. Always a Great Story.... I am an avid fan of Lauraine Snelling's Blessing North Dakota stories and No Distance Too Far has not failed to be any less than any of her other books. Whispers in the wind Would you listen to No Distance Too Far again? Why? Yes, I could find some different things that I may have missed. What about Stina Nielsens performance did you like? Excellent,, probably the best. No Distance to Far This book was somewhat better and not as boring as the first book. Some of the story line was still annoying. I won't mention what so I won't ruin it for someone who wants to listen or read for themselves. The narrator is excellent. Again, the best part of the audio. Pure Lauraine Snelling This was pure Lauraine Snelling. Excellent storyline with interesting characters and very formidable women. What a lovely story of going on the journey of trusting God and being obedient.

Behind Her Smile Audiobook by Rosemary Hines

Title: Behind Her Smile Subtitle: Sandy Cove Series, Book 6 Author: Rosemary Hines Narrator: Becky Doughty Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Not good enough.... The words echo in Madison Baron's mind as the darkness presses her to be thinner, more beautiful - somehow more attractive to her peers. A junior in high school, she is facing life without her childhood love, Luke Johnson, who is off to college in the Midwest. Alone with her insecurities, Madison yearns for acceptance - until Miles, that is. Will a relationship with this new student on campus be the answer she seeks? And how will his resistance to her Christian faith affect her future? As the two of them grow closer and closer, something happens inside of Madison, and she finds herself more insecure than ever. Gazing into the mirror at her thinning face and trendy makeup, she hopes no one sees the fear behind her smile. The sixth book in the Sandy Cove series, Behind Her Smile touches hearts of young and old alike with the message of God's redemption and love, reminding us that our true sufficiency and value come from Him and Him alone. Members Reviews: Excellent Book This is one of the best books I have ever read. The author pulls you in from the first and you can't wait to read the next of the series. Excellent use of life experiences and learning from them. Pained for Madison I was truly pained for Madison in this story, and I felt that her mother and grandmother in particular had "fallen down on the job" in spite of their Christian legacy so emphasized in the earlier books in the series. (Disclaimer at this point: my eldest daughter is only 8 -- someone might want to ask me if I still agree in another 8 years! I know that dealing with teenagers is hard.) First of all, even in the other books some mention has been made of Madison and Luke. So when she's suddenly changing, and that right after Luke leaves for college, why isn't anyone trying to ask her if that has anything to do with it? I remember from my own teen years not wanting to talk to my mother about things like boys, but in Madison's case, what about her grandmother? or Rick? or Kelly? Where are the youth leaders from the church; are they not trying to get close to the teens to really help them? Second, I think Madison's mother and father should have had the guts to tell her straight out the message she was sending with her clothes, the message that she is a prostitute, is available for men's use--but they should have told her long ago, in conversing about these teen magazines! The magazines are readily available; I've even skimmed some myself in public libraries. The parents should long before, even if Madison didn't appear to have issues with dress, have talked with her about what she was seeing in those magazines, about fashions and the messages they convey. The same for other contents of the magazines, the contents about diet, the image of the super-skinny models, likely the magazines even offered "advice" for dating and relationships, but since none of the magazines were Christian, based on Biblical principles, the girls (Luke's sister included) should have been getting direction from parents, church youth leaders, etc to evaluate the things they were reading. Madison's dad had a great opportunity when she came down dressed that way for their "date" -- why didn't he say, "If you go dressed like that, we will give the impression that I as an older man am sexually abusing a teenager.

Title: Peril: A Novel Subtitle: Fast Track Thrillers, Book 1 Author: Suzanne Hartmann Narrator: Anthea Hallett-Ybarra Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-17 Publisher: Castle Gate Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A mysterious bodyguard. Explosive assignments. Secrets at risk. A cloak of mystery surrounds Lady Annes life until she is assigned to guard King Ahmad, the first Muslim king to convert to the Christian faith. Her tight wall of secrecy begins to crumble when her stunning rescues of the king from terrorist attacks offer the world a glimpse of her enhanced strength. Rumors and conflicting reports hide the truth in the media but dont diminish the attraction of Stuart Jackson, the NASCAR champion enlisted to help welcome the race-loving King Ahmad. Jackson sees in her the internal peace he craves, but his extreme measures to locate her threaten to blow her cover. When she finally seems to have everything under control, the greatest danger shows its face. She must decide how far shes willing to go to protect her secrets, her family, and her life. Critic Reviews: Peril offers captivating action, yet it is clean, direct, and solid in its dealing with moral issues. An exceptional start to what promises to be a captivating series. (Ann Hibbard, Home Educating Magazine) Members Reviews: Just the Right Book! Suzanne's blog has a tag-line of Fiction with a Twist. She mentions that most of her writing has unexpected twists in it. That's certainly the case with Peril. A NASCAR champion, a beautiful operative, a King in need of protection: just the elements of a juicy suspense. But Peril surprised me. The characters, beneath the surface, show amazing depth and encounter the same type of life-altering situations that normal people deal with. I found the theme of fear ironic for a story where the main character acts as a body guard. I know better than to assume anything with the excellence in Christian Fiction that we have today. Yet I still bought into a lure into shallow waters. On the face of it, Lady Anne appeared amazing, complete, having it all together. Yet within, she shook with worry, discussed things with the Lord, and insisted on her own control. The sort-of hero, stock car champion Stuart Jackson, also offered an ingenious irony: the emptiness of a Lord-less life. Money, popularity, power, physical pleasure, none of it is enough to satisfy the man and fill the hole he feels in his life. He believes the beauty of Lady Anne will take care of everything, but it's really the peace she has that he craves. I thoroughly enjoyed Peril. It proved exactly the type of read I needed for a relaxing weekend trip! If you enjoy twisted suspense, like NASCAR, (loved all of the references!) or are looking for a tightly-written, satisfying read, Peril should delight you as well! A real page Turner! This was one of the most exciting books I've ever read. It's definitely a must read for anyone wanting to escape for awhile. And it's a Christian book! So good! Better than most I chose 4 stars b/c I had to finish it in one day. I was discouraged by editing errors and over use of 'enhanced' in the first chapter. Islamic terrorists, NASCAR info, physiological neurologic developments and believable characters kept me going. Good beach reading. A Thrill Ride A thrilling tale of mystery and mayhem that pulls you along at NASCAR speeds. I was leery to pick it up since it wasn't my usual cup of tea, but once i did, I couldn't put it down. Suzanne Hartmann pulled together an unusual mix of characters but made each one real and alive.

At first, Tim doesnt fit in with his many cousins and their crowded lifestyle. But when he meets Clara Slabaugh, the local school teacher, he understands why the Lord brought him to Sugarcreek. Clara is shy and quiet. Scarred from a fire when she was small, Clara has resigned herself to living alone and caring for her mother, who tells her that no man will ever see past her scars, and that Clara needs to keep teaching in order to make ends meet. Her father passed away years ago, and her mother depends on her. But the scars mean nothing to Tim. He appreciates her quiet nature and her wonderful, loving way with children. Yet Tim has a sweetheart back home in Indiana. As these two hearts struggle to determine their path, tragedy strikes, and every other worry seems insignificant in comparison. Though they now face a life they never imagined, will Tim and Clara have the faith to step out and risk everything for a chance at true love? Critic Reviews: Clara is a well-crafted and relatable character. Youll soon be as partial to Clara as the author, especially as she develops and comes out of her shell." (Romantic Times) Members Reviews: Excellent Storyline and Characters. Held my interest throughout. Enjoyed reading about the characters and the storyline. Pleased with the Christian truths clearly presented in the lives of the characters. A SPECIAL PERSON FOR HER SPRING'S RENEWAL by Shelley Gray book 2 in "Seasons of Sugarcreek " A love of teaching and the children she taught, hold a special meaning for Clara. Dreams of marriage and a home are just that, because of an accident when she was young. This has also made her quiet and shy. Tim coming to help his uncle with the farm, and meeting her. See's a beauty beyond, of what she is inside, and her love of people and helping others. A beautiful story of waiting for God to bring that special person in your life. Very Good Book I love reading books that continue in a series. This book ties the characters together very nicely. Books many times end as soon as someone gets married etc. This book continues their lives nicely. A great job by the author. A Must Read Absolutely loved this book. An Amish girl burned and scared as a young child, now grown but scared in other ways, begins to find healing of those emotional scars. A very touching story that shows the power of love and forgiveness. I cannot wait to begin reading the next book in the series. I am falling in love with the characters in Sugarcreek. I already know that I love this author and her books. Five Stars really good read

Legal secretary by day, romance novelist by night, Amy Clarke lives with a precious secret. For years, she has traveled to a holy place in her dreams - a sublime place she calls the Living Room. When she awakes, her faith and energy are supernaturally restored. And when she dreams, she receives vibrant inspiration for her novels. As she begins to write her third book, the nature of her dreams shifts. Gone are the literary signposts. Instead, her dreams are studded with scenes that foreshadow real life. Before long, the scenes begin to spill over into her waking hours, too. As Amy becomes entangled in a high-stakes case at work, her visions take on a dark hue - implicating someone dear to her, causing her to question everything. And convincing her to trust someone with his own shadowy secrets. Things are not always what they seem. But as fiction, dreams, and real life begin to overlap, Amy must stop dreaming and act to prevent tragedy. Editorial Reviews: "With deft sleight of hand, wonderful characterization, and carefully layered plots, Robert Whitlow has crafted a gripping story about the mysteries of Gods power to shelter the people he loves." (Erin Healy, author of Afloat) Members Reviews: Narrater weakens the book I absolutely LOVE Robert Whitlow! I love his books, his thoughts, his words, his wisdom. What I don't like, especially in this book, is the storyteller. This is a book with a female as a main character. It should have been read by a female. The narrator reads as if he's reading a book, not as if he's trying to make characters come alive through his narration. Sometimes a good book can be weakened by the person relating it to the public, such as this one. Gifted writer-horrid narrator What did you like best about this story? I loved the authenticity of the move of the Holy Spirit and the characters. Whitlow is one of my favorite authors in any genre. However, Heath McClure's poor performance almost ruined the book for me. I won't purchase anything he narrates. I wanted to get The Confession until I saw that McClure was the narrator. Get one of your former narrators Mr. Whitlow. Your wonderful writing is being badly served. What didnt you like about Heath McClures performance? Poor timing and inflections. My third grade readers could do a better narration. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Be filled with the Holy Spirit! Any additional comments? Robert Whitlow is a wonderful writer. I captures the nuances of his characters in such a truthful manner. His plots captivate and absorb one. Bravo Mr. Whitlow! Teachy I liked the concept but it was very Teachy, a lot of repeated information. I think it's hard for an author to write about another author because we learned about the process in depth and it interrupted the flow of the story. The performance also came off as someone reading a book not bringing it to life.

Title: Ice Author: Shane Johnson Narrator: Cameron Beierle Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-07 Publisher: Books in Motion Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: February 1975. Apollo 19, the last of the manned lunar modules, has successfully landed. Exhilarated and confident, Commander Gary Lucas and Pilot Charlie Shepherd set out to explore a vast, mysterious depression in the surface of the lunar South Pole. © Shane Johnson; (P)2003 Books in Motion Critic Reviews: "Johnson's credentials as a spaceflight historian and design consultant for the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon are evident in the authentic details that characterize this intriguing Christian suspense thriller." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: ICE This novel starts off slow, in narration and content, but quickly captures your attention. The end result is thought provoking. It is well worth your time. Great Christian Science Fiction I enjoyed this book. This novel displays a lot of research by the author and he does a great job of setting an authentic tone to a story which centers around NASA in the mid 1970's. It is an alternate history novel and I found it fun to hear how the Apollo 19 mission might have turned out. I was interested from the opening scene until the explanatory climax. As an added bonus, there is an Author's Note at the end of the book which gives some interesting insight into both the novel's factual and speculative details. I found this book under the Audible category, "Fiction: Religious & Inspirational" so I was not surprised by the Christian theme of the book, though I would personally stop short of calling it "proselytizing." One of the minor storylines does involve the spiritual introspection of a central character, Logan, but this does not develop prominence until the end of the book. Frankly, I enjoy listening to well written science fiction novels which have Biblically based, Christian ideas. Good authors such as Shane Johnson are few and far between. I gave the audiobook 4 stars because I found the narrator to be a bit choppy as he spoke. It took several hours to get used to his staccato tempo, so I could never quite shake the feeling that I was being "read to." I always listen to the audio book sample before buying, so I was prepared. I suggest that prospective buyers do the same. Overall, however, I highly recommend this book to sci-fi lovers - especially those of the Christian faith. This is an entertaining ride with a twist ending that most readers will never see coming. Give it a chance; I don't think you'll be disappointed. Interesting. I agree it does start a little slow, however you will be surprised by the ending. Great story badly narrated I have this story in print and was eager to hear the audio book, as it's one of my favorites. It is a very well told story, with an interesting twist on history and the Bible. A great "what if" story. However, the narrator was almost painful to listen to. He has a very gravelly voice, and it didn't feel like he was putting much effort into giving the story life. I hope that a better production will be made available. If so I will definitely get it! Christian book Fair warning there is a lot of christian thought in this book I had a great read. A little out there(pun intended) but a great CHRISTIAN S.F. BOOK.

Title: Eagles and Hawks and also People as Well: A Novel Author: Frank Marcopolos Narrator: Frank Marcopolos Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Kykeon Media Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Christian college baseball star Enzo Prinziatta's life is on track for greatness - a promising career, an attractive girlfriend carrying his baby, and endorsements lined up for miles. But when a long-held secret is revealed about his idolized, late father - shaking the very foundation of his faith - how will Enzo prevent his life from going completely off the rails? Members Reviews: Eagles and Hawks and Also People As Well- Interesting Life Story of an Aspiring Baseball Star Eagles and Hawks and Also People as Well revolves around the main character Enzo Prinziatta and his aspirations as a baseball player. Enzo has to face many challenges in his life that includes trying to catch the eyes of prominent people in the baseball community and to accept the fact that his pregnant girlfriend might not be carrying his child. What makes the book remarkable is little touches to Enzo's personality that makes him highly believable and likeable. For example, Enzo has the habit of writing on his thumb anything that he wants to reinforce. Hence, during important conversations he is seen writing some random words just as if he is echoing them. The most memorable glimpses of his memories revolve around his father. Whenever he thinks of anything most of the times his thoughts wander back to some time he had spent with his father like when his father got bit by a bug and had to be hospitalized or when his father dressed up all the mannequins in his basement in army uniforms and informed him that they will take care of him even in his sleep. Hence, a revelation about his father is bound to disturb him. The author Frank Marcopolos did a great job of keeping the readers interested and engrossed. His writing style is so effective that it seems that he is narrating a scene before him. like the time when Enzo went shopping and had a conversation with his friend. Here the topic of the religious book was interestingly mixed with the job at hand- that is buying stuff from a prepared list for the upcoming party. Still the reader was not at all confused with the mixing of the words, but rather enjoyed them.

Title: Glorious Appearing: The End of Days Subtitle: Left Behind, Book 12 Author: Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins Narrator: Steve Sever Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-15 Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Thousands of years of human history stained by strife, death, and sin come to an end when the King of Glory returns to earth. The satisfying conclusion of the seven years of Tribulation covered by the Left Behind series portrays the return of Jesus Christ to earth in both glory and judgment. At the height of the battle between the forces of evil gathered at Armageddon and the remaining Christian believers at Petra and Jerusalem, nothing seems to be able to stop the Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. But God has another plan. Members Reviews: BLESSED ASSURANCE and BOUNDLESS LOVE As much as I have enjoyed each of these divinely inspired books, this is the one I couldn't wait to get to. I was raised in church and saved by grace at 16; I have known the joy of living in the center of His will, but I know there have been times I have broken His heart as well. I am far from a Bible scholar, but I have a good understanding of most scripture although I never understood Revelations until I read these books and I praise the Lord for leading me to them. I have heard many excellent sermons on the Rapture and the 7 years of tribulation; to be followed by the millennium reign. As far as I can remember I haven't heard a single message about the glorious appearing and was therefore eager to learn about it from two men I may never have the pleasure to meet, but it is obvious to me that these are men of God working for His glory and to see souls saved. I plan to use all I have learned thus far to help me witness to the unsaved around me. I ask other believers if they have read these books, suggest that they do, and would gladly share my collection with those nearby. Wont be disapointed! I love this Left Behind series. Its a radio drama so each character is a different actor. There are background sounds to help you imagine whats going on. Ive listened to this series 3 or 4 times over the last 10 years and its still just as good. Collect this whole series and listen on a road trip or on your commute to work. You wont be disapointed! Hard not to get carried away with the Glorious Appearing This is what every believer has been waiting for, the Glorious Appearing of Jesus, the King, the Saviour. The authors do a pretty good job of imagining the leading up of the appearance, as well as the events that transpire by using the Scriptures. I am glad that they only had Jesus speak words out of the Bible, and did not make up anything for Him to speak. They weave several chapters and books of prophecy together to come up with a plausible transpiring of the events, such as the sign of the Son of Man, the army of saints following Jesus, and the salvation of the remnant, as well as everyone's personal interview with their Saviour. Of course this will probably not be the way it'll actually happen, since God's ways are not our ways, but it is a plausible speculation and fun to read. Of course the Antichrist and False Prophet are schlocky characters and buffoonish, and there had to be enough hijinks and gross-outs to keep the adolescent audience in hoots and hollers.

Made me appreciate more what Jesus Christ has done for us coming as a baby to go to the Cross for us sinful human beings and then rising again so we can have new life in Him. I have listened twice and have given the CDs so others can listen. Very well done by the readers. Great book I enjoyed every one of the 12 stories in this book. I highly recommend it.
