Keeps geeting better.

I enjoyed this book as much as the frist one. I love the charecters, and the narrator can almost take you away and you can imagine your there with all the action, and suspence. I would say this is one of the best aligorical book sieres ive read. And im going to buy the books this weekend. ( sorry about my spelling, i'm not a good one).

Very Enjoyable Read

Any additional comments?

I'm about half way through the second book and I am enjoying it very much. This narrator is really very good. I have just a few minor annoyances. One of them is that the voice for Rone sounds like a bad John Wayne imitation at times and one the little people's voices reminds me of GEICO's gecko, but overall the narration is so much better than the one on the first book, there's really nothing to complain about.The story is thought provoking, intriguing and inspiring.

I find the fantasy world (thought it might be closer to reality than one might guess) well thought out and coherent. It matches some of the pre-flood theories that I read and is presented in a way that a non-believer would find easy to accept. As fantasy goes, it ranks up there with some of the best in this regards.I find the presentation of the gospel (yes it comes from an unapologetic Christian viewpoint) done in an unoffensive and natural way, free of any of the "preachiness" that I have seen in other Christian fiction. Though the gospel story is presented in a much more straightforward manner than what you would find in Lewis or Tolkien, it still retains a lot of the fascinating elements of fantasy (moonlights, friendly dragons, a race of tiny people, communicating with animals, etc. eg.) mixed in with the theology.The characters are well developed and likable.

The action moves well and I am looking forward to seeing how it all is resolved. I do have some questions on how well things will be tied up, knowing that all of mankind will be destroyed in the flood during Noah's lifetime. That means most of the sympathetic characters will have to die before that happens. I hope the author gives a satisfying explanation of what happens to all of the "good" characters before the great flood occurs.

If you have any doubts about buying the book, I'd say go ahead, I don't think you will be disappointed, thought you might want to buy the first one in print to save yourself the drudgery of the narration.

Superb Story

This is a biblically accurate novel set in fiction. I didn't want this Trilogy to end.

Hidden messagd

Good story told beautifully. You have to have an open religoius mind to really enjoy this book.

Great Story

Although rather predictable, this is a heart-warming story - showing how children can often teach valuable lessons to the adults while maintaining respect to their elders. Another lovely story by Beverly Lewis and brought to life by the narration of Barbara Carouso - I love to listen to her!

better than the movie

the movie was good but the book though simular is quite different and i liked it better

Title: Krishna Krishna

Author: Indra Parthasarathy

Narrator: Revathy Sankkaran

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-14-08

Publisher: New Horizon Media

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

This novel is about one of the most ungodlike but lovable divine characters in mythology anywhere. It takes off from where the rest of the legends about Krishna stop. Krishna is shown here more as the human avatara he assumes, rather than the God behind the avatar.

The author Indira Parthasarathi describes Him as an anti-hero, an anarchist, and a rebel extraordinaire, who yet forms an intrinsic part of the Indian cultural psyche. The author's fearless prism reveals the blue god in all his multihued splendor, while at the same time revealing his frailties and uncertainties as well.

Krishna is a metaphor. He enables us to fulfill our dark desires in our unconscious state and also represents the collective vision of the community. His character transcends the bounds of religious orthodoxy or hidebound convention, or even the moral values we know. He is relevant in every age, every millennium, and every epoch.

Butter thief as a child, heart stealer as a boy, and charmer of women of all ages as he grows into adulthood, Krishna is like no other god we know. His wit, his charm, his infinite wisdom that lurks below his casual exterior, have inspired some of the most joyous verse and legends in the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and spiritual literature.

Krishna Krishna portrays Krishna as our contemporary, a person relevant for all ages. In this novel, he is for once the hero, in sharp contrast with all the great epics in which he is always in the background of great enterprises and stratagems. Here he is the central figure around whom things happen.

Listen to the voice of Krishna and immerse yourself in his infinite grace. It is a voyage you will never forget. Welcome aboard!

Three Stars

Interesting take on Krishna

An excellent book

Once I started reading the book, I could not keep it down till I finished fully. Very well written book.

Renganathan Narayanan

Wonderful!

Absolutely loved it! Learned so much and it was so entertainingly written and narrated ! Loved the witty and humor thrown in. Thank you for this book Indra and audible. Great price also

It's okay, however...

This book is pretty much a summary of KM Munshi's seven volume Krishnavatara. If you have that, you are wasting your time reading this. It is really unfortunate but this book might actually have been okay if it wasn't such a copy.

Publisher's Summary:

Jenny helps Miss Shaw open up to the community around her, while Miss Shaw teaches Jenny to meet even life's most painful challenges with confidence and faith. This unexpected relationship transforms them both in ways neither could have anticipated, and the ripple effect that begins that summer goes on to bring new life to the people around them, revealing how God works in the smallest details, even in something as small as...a penny.

Members Reviews:

Absoultly wonderful

For her first it was wonderful. As always with Joyce, she does not hesitate addressing tough subjects and not just one but several. I would recomend this book to everyone. Can't wait till her next one!

Great Story Line

If this review were simply for the writing, I would give it 5 stars. This story takes you down a the very personal path of the main charater, Jenny Blake, while giving you a taste of what it was like to grow up during the time of integration.

My only problem with this recording is that I often found the narator's interpritation of the tone of a character's voice to be in direct conflict with emotion the text suggested. This was most evident in her portrail of one of the main supporting characters, Miss Shaw.

Over all, the recording was done well, In most other cases I feel that the narator's performance matched the intent of the author. I would recomend that you give it a try.

Real Life Learning

The Penny brought joy and sadness. As the story provided insight to the world as we each see it. The excellent wording of each chapter provided many hours of delightful listening and self evaluation. I always enjoy how the Lord brings a book into my path at just the right time. The Penny is a book for all ages and a learning experance for us all.

Wow!

I just got through listening to this book. I bought it with no expectation, I am new to Joyce Meyer. It was a story that tore my heart and was a testament to God's love for us all and how He helps us survive even the most trying of trials.

Wonderful story about forgiveness.

I listen to my audiobooks when I workout. I found myself really motivated to go to the gym so I could listen to The Penny. I LOVE Joyce Meyer. She's a FOR REAL Christian. This book is a little different from her others i.e. it's fiction however I think it's based on a lot of her own life. It teaches many lessons about God''s love and how powerful His love is; only God can heal our deepest wounds. It's a wonderful book but especially for those who have suffered sexual, physical or emotional abuse as a child or even as an adult. It also addresses racial prejudice. It's just enthralling and the reader did a good job of holding my attention. Great book!

Members Reviews:

to many

It is a good concept but there are to many stories intertwined. Lots of characters to keep up with. Got confusing because of this.

Great

This is a great book. It has enough going on to keep it interesting and me guessing. Some great action.

Hard to follow.....

I have actually read this book multiple times. I loved it so much I thought I'd get the audiobook. I really wish I hadn't. The narrator speaks way to fast, which makes it really hard to follow. I ended up turning it off because I was completely lost.

Agree with Kristie

I completely agree with Kristie. There are so many characters and plot lines that I have had quite a time keeping up with them - it is virtually impossible. This was such a problem that I stopped listening for several days and went back to it later. I'm still struggling...

a window into first century Christianity

it took a chapter for me to get into it. i think it was mainly due to the larger number of character stories. but I left the book for a few months, and when I came back to it, I was really drawn in to the time period and the characters. having finished, I am now eager to read the next book in the series.

Not the 1st in the Series

When I ordered this book I did not realize that it was the 3rd or 4th in the Blessing series. Fortunately, I had already read the previous books awhile back and understood most of the references. If you like Snelling, you'll like this book.

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book. I haven't listened to any of the others in this series, but it stands well on its own. The narrator is good, too.

The Next Generation...

Simple soothing story continues with this tale in the Dakota Territory. Book 1 in this series of 3 books.

A Colorado Listener

Great Book

What about Stina Nielsens performance did you like?

Stina Nielsen is a very talented narrator, changes her voice for each character

Who was the most memorable character of A Promise for Ellie and why?

Ellie was my heart went out to her.

Really Good Book!

What did you love best about A Promise for Ellie?

Another good, clean, Christian novel! Stina Nielsen was a very good reader and the story kept me interested. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it highly.

What does Stina Nielsen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I loved her accent!

Then the steady rhythm of his new life is interrupted. A young cousin has been orphaned, and Dannan offers his home to the child. This act of kindness turns his thoughts to the child's need for a mother: yet the one woman Dannon is drawn to cannot be his.

Members Reviews:

Excellent story.....

I loved this book! It was the 3rd in the Tucker Mills series and I loved the first 2, as well. Predictable, yes, but only in the way that I didn't have to worry about filthy language, or sex for the sake of a story line...both of which I find offensive! Barbara Rosenblat has a gift for voices and she makes a story come to life with that gift. I do look for books she narrates and will continue to do so. Lori Wick is also one of my favorite authors and will continue to look for her books as well.

First Audiobook Experience

I purchased an MP3 player and this audiobook to listen to when I walk to pass the time quickly. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the book is wonderful. Lori Wick is one of my very favorite Christian authors. I read the Bible and pray, but reading Christian authors is just another way to help me in my Christian walk, both figuratively and literally. I will be buying more audiobooks to take with me on the plane when I travel. They are very easy to download.

A wearisome waste of time!

I purchased this book because the narrator was nominated for an award and I assumed the book was worthy of an award as well. How wrong I was! The narrator is interesting but incredibly over dramatic for such a dull, predictable book. In fact, it became wearisome listening when even the tiniest detail become a major, momentous event.

It would have been beneficial, also, if the synopsis of the book had mentioned that the book preached Christian doctrine. I don't enjoy being preached to, and some listeners may find this offensive, even from this simple book.

I skipped about 4 hours of this book and didn't miss a thing. In fact I wasted too much time listening to even my abrideged version. Don't waste your time!

Title: The Trial

Author: Robert Whitlow

Narrator: Rob Lamont

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-27-06

Publisher: Oasis Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Then suddenly the phone rings, and it turns out to be a case he can't refuse. A case for the life of accused killer Peter Thomason, and a case for his own soul.

With a style reminiscent of John Grisham and Frank Peretti, Robert Whitlow has mastered the art of legal suspense novels. The book edition has earned the prestigious Christy Award.

Critic Reviews:

"Exciting courtroom drama and an authentic Southern sensibility." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Delivers

Whitlow does a great job developing the characters and their relationships with one another throughout his novel. There was enough suspense and romance to keep my attention. I liked the tender ending. Just a reminder for those who had problems with the Scriptural content and religious influencethe book is listed in the religious/Christianity section of audible.

Impacting! Was blown away by this true story!

Where does The Trial rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

At the top of my list!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Trial?

This story was all memorable. I felt I was there. I did not find out that this story was based on a true historical person and account until AFTER I finished. This made the story more incredible!

Have you listened to any of Rob Lamonts other performances before? How does this one compare?

Rob Lamont gave a beautiful performance. Each character was powerful.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

At times this books graphics descriptions were almost to much. But I had to keep going to the end. The story is that good!

Good Story with Holes

Having started the story with the actual book, when we started listening to this performance, it was quickly apparent that much of the actual book was edited out of the performance. We liked the performer's voice and performance of what was not edited, but we're irritated by having some of what the author thought was necessary cut. We continued to listen sometimes and stop and fill in the spots that were skipped with the book. Sometimes I just read from the book and fast forwarded when it was after dark and we were in the car, but the hole, sometimes whole scenes and sometimes a half or a full page were annoying.

'Christian' courtroom drama

I wish I had read the description more carefully before buying this audiobook: this is a 'Christian' legal thriller, meaning that the story contains an abundance of completely unnecessary proselytizing that ruined any interest I might have had in it. If Jesus is your Saviour, then rejoice, this book is for you.

The Trial

A moderately interesting start of a criminal trial. After entrapping the reader with the plot, it then reveals itself as a Christian religious book.

need scriptural truth

I am one who will continue to cheer and declare Max Lucado's work but this doesn't get me it lack scriptural true even if it's considered to be a fiction. if not .5 for me

Includes Cosmic Christmas

I fell in love with Max Lucado's books when I first heard 'Cosmic Christmas' on a radio program years ago. For me, this forever told story was brought home to me and I finally understood what I was missing about the gift that God gave us. I love 'The Christmas Child' and the narrator is excellent as well, but would have bought this just for the second story.

ok

not one of Lucado's better works
