This series is amazing. I've read all of them and have re-read ...

This series is amazing. I've read all of them and have re-read them and they are beautifully written, giving the reader a feel of being right there in the middle of what's going on. I highly recommend this book! I will be reading it again because it is that much of a thriller with one exception - these things will come to pass. Some of the things in this book are evident in today's world.

Great product. Great transaction

Great product. Great transaction.

Awesome!

LOVE this book!

Rapturous Joy

I found this third prequel to be just as inspirational as all the others in this series. I believe all saved people should read the entire series in order to strengthen their witness to the lost. I believe that any lost person brave enough to read these books with an open heart and mind will be compelled to come to Jesus as the sinners we all are and will be saved through the love and compassion of Jesus. l rejoice that I am no better or worse than anyone I will ever have the opportunity to potentially lead to Christ, but forgiven saved by the grace of God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Too much filler

As some other reviewers noted, this book tends to get repetitious after the first half (when the rapture occurs). The scenes in heaven of the saints receiving their rewards were, by and large, unnecessary. I was bored and had to push myself to finish. A few stories, okay, but as many as there were? Too many. Every time another heaven scene came up I thought, "Oh no, here we go again." Dry, boring, and slow.

This is the worst of the three prequels and I think the worst of all the books yet. All the stuff that needed to be covered in this book could have been covered in less than half the space and produced a better book.

A couple things I liked about the book:

Finding out more about Chris Smith, Rayford's co-pilot on the fateful flight. He's much more a POV character in this book. While his story is completely unbelievable (two wives? come on!), I liked getting into his head and finding out the fate of a character who is absent after book 1 of the original series.

Learning more about Abdullah "Smitty" Ababneh and how he came to faith. I've always liked his character.

I sincerely hope the last book is better.

In The Edge of Darkness, LaHaye reveals the meaning behind some of the most carefully guarded Biblical prophecies to expose a conspiracy with terrifying consequences for our modern world.

This time Michael Murphy sets off in search of the Lost Temple of Dagon and the dark secrets of the strange god once worshipped by the ancient Philistines. His quest will lead to a final confrontation with an old enemy and uncover one of the Bible's most feared warnings, a prophecy of false miracles, false messiahs, and ultimate evil that will be fulfilled in our time...and that not even Murphy can stop once it's begun.

I hated the ending

It was a good series, but the ending was a disappointment. Obviously, I won't go into details.

Title: This Child is Mine

Author: Mildred Colvin

Narrator: Mildred Colvin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-05-06

Publisher: Barbour Publishing, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 85 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

A blood test that should have brought comfort brings confusion and pain instead. Now, Beth Murdock must face the truth; Stevie, the little girl she has raised as her own for almost two years, isn't hers. Jonathon McDuff doesn't know what to make of the legal document explaining that his daughter Lexie isn't really his. He wants his biological child back, but he can't stand to think of losing the little girl he knows as his. The obvious solution would be to have all parties under one roof. The arrangement would be strictly for the toddlers, the adults say, or could God have plans to bring love back to the hearts of two very wounded people?

Nice Story

Wow - what a nice, warm read. I didn't quite know what to expect, as this book was catergorized under inspirational and romance. The book was exactly that - inspirational with a little romance. I also laughed with this book. The story line was good, the characters interesting and the author narrarated. For a light and quick read, I would recommend.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed the story line and Christian content. A nice break from the mystery and crime I typically pick. Surprisingly kept my attention. A very enjoyable experience.

Good but not original

The story line has been done before, but its a nice story nonetheless. However, I didn't think that it offered enough inspiration. It was more of a love story.

heartwarming

Would you listen to This Child is Mine again? Why?

The story line was that good and there was excellent rapport between the parents and children and friends.

What was one of the most memorable moments of This Child is Mine?

I have heard of birth switches but never hear how they end up. This was a sweet story.

Which scene was your favorite?

the progression of the finding of the facts, and the responsible way the issues were handled.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

nothing

An enjoyable 'read'

This was my first experience of an audio novel and I really enjoyed it.

It's a very light-hearted story that was very well narrated...Have to admit I was a bit wary of the male voice being narrated by a woman but she doesn't over-do it- Worth a read :)

a book to see joy for anyone

I first come across her book sitting on a shelf of my friends apt . she let me stay with her while I got my feet stable when I moved out of state away from all my friends and family for the first time.

It was a rough and lonely journey . I am spiritual but this is more Christian. THAT DOESNT MATTER TO ME BUT THE MESSAGE CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK DOES! she helps see harsh trials and tribulations in life when we feel alone bring them to a better view point of uplift!

I bought two of these a few months ago. One I sent to my cousin fighting cancer.

The other I have on standby to gift put to the first person I sew in need of light in their life!

She is a sage in this life and gifts out her live to others!

I suggest this to anyone!

Laughter doeth Good like a Medicine

This is the first of Barbara Johnson's books that I have read. I'm not done with it yet, but i highy recommend it if you are going through a devastating experience in your life. I didn't realize just how much it would minister to me to know that there are other parents out there walking the same path as we are, but it does. Her down-to-earth writing style is combined with a great sense of humor. I am glad a friend introduced me to Barbara Johnson

Gift

Gave the series as a gift. Hope she read them

... Johnson was a very special Christian lady with a great sense of humor & strong faith that helped her ...

Barbara Johnson was a very special Christian lady with a great sense of humor & strong faith that helped her through some horrific personal tragedies. I think you will find this book &/or CD to be a helpful blessing, especially if you've suffered personal tragedies of your own. Her attitude & her faith are amazing. :) jlp

One Star

A great book (a so-so abridgement)

A dime novel? Clean but boring? Don't make judgements about ABRIDGED fiction, people! This is one of the best books I've ever read, and I lean toward Lee Child, John Grisham, Michael Crichton (NOT "Left Behind"). There is very little preachiness (in fact, I'd say none). Lots of action and suspense. I seriously doubt the author wanted to be compared to "Da Vinci Code"; he is a MUCH better writer than Dan Brown.

That said, I can see the comparisons: There is an ancient secret and a modern chase. It's the best of "Da Vinci Code" and none of the worst (Dan Brown can weave a good yarn, but he's not much of a craftsman; Liparulo wrote a great story, and his skill with a pen exceeds the skill of many bestseling writers today... I'm not the only one who thinks that--a lot of reviewers in top publications have echoed this sentiment).

I agree that abridge audio is not the way to experience a book or a story, and I also agree that the reader of this one didn't do such a wonderful job, but don't pin the problems on Liparulo or the book: Read it and experience a great thriller writer at the top of his game!

Get unabridged version, this is terrible.

Abridged version is chopped up an hard to follow. Missing to much of original book.

Dime Novel

I try to not to buy abridged versions of books but slipped up on this one. It was a blessing as I have never heard such a corny book. In its pages the author even refers to The DaVinci Code perhaps expecting a comparison. Wrong!

Even the reader is awful. Hieronymus Bosch comes out as "HyRonamus" and the Italian "per favore" comes out as the Spanish "por favor".

Buy the book if you want a good laugh at some of the rediculous adventure, but do not invest in the unabridged version.

A Bob Jones Sermon

Overall enjoyable but I am a born again Christian and understand where all of this was coming from. I don't think many non-Christians would be able to get past all of the mini-sermons within the so-called conversations or thought lives of the characters. I felt as if I was being preached to almost the entire book. Sort of like having to listen to 50 verses of Just As I Am until someone finally goes to the alter just to get it to stop. I did like how it emphasized God's grace and the fact that ALL have sinnned , and that no sin is too great for God's grace and forgiveness.

Mind Numbing!

It was a mind numbing listen with the most uninteresting, extraneous minutiae. The characters were boring and unlikable. As hard as I tried, I could not drum up any feeling but faint distaste for the main character. This writer throws any and everything into the story. Never mind that most of the details add nothing to the storyline. It was a waste of a credit and believe me I am not an overly picky reader - I like lots of different genres. Although it felt like torture, I listened to the entire book. I'm like that - I can't waste money. But please skip over this book and go for something like "Redeeming Love "by Francine Rivers. That's a story with depth, emotion and spirituality.

Another Great Book by this Author

This book is also an incredible book. Jamie Langston Turner has a wonderful way of capturing your interest almost immediately and even though you can hardly wait to find out what is going to happen, you hate for the book to end. You won't be disappointed in this book.

A certain Style

Jamie has a certain style of writing; and you either like it or you don't. This is not my favorite book by her; but it was nice. Jamie is very "wordy" and not a lot of action. I enjoy her a lot, because I like the various twists and turns the character's thought processes take. It has quite a cute "fairy tale" ending. Of course, it's considered an "inspirational novel" in that it is guided by the teachings of Jesus and how they can shape your life. If you're ok with that, and enjoy wordy thought processes; give it a listen.

Great story

This was a great story with complex characters who deal with their past, and change with the help of God and people who love them. I connected so much with this novel that it was scary. I only wish their was a part two!

Title: Envy, or Yiddish in America & The Pagan Rabbi

And he is shocked to find her cold, unforgiving, as she tells the story of her husband's great struggle between the flowering nymph of his passions and the book-laden old Jew of his soul.

"Envy, or Yiddish in America"

Ostrover the Story Teller is the only Yiddish writer in America whose work is regularly translated and published. Edelshtein the Poet seethes with jealousy. If he, Edelshtein, had a translator, he'd be famous too! Tongueless in America, imprisoned in Yiddish, Edelshtein plots and yearns and staggers through the snows of Manhattan, looking for a translator to save him from his fate.

Members Reviews:

Envy is one of the great American short novels

In 'Envy, or Yiddish in America' Ozick tells the story of a world, the world of those immigrant poets and writers in Yiddish who struggled to make a name in the New World and got nowhere. Against them is her main character, the one Yiddish writer who succeeds in an unbelievable way and whose works conquer America. This leading character is modeled obviously on the great I.B. Singer . In the story the other writers call him 'The Chazir ' or pig , not only because of his non- religious life style but obviously because he takes all the honors and rewards for himself. Ozick captures the language of this world, and its humor , the angry impossible humor of the Yiddish language itself. She writes with feeling of these frustrated difficult characters. This work I believe will be specially loved by writers but my guess is anyone who truly loves ' real literature' will find much pleasure in reading this work.

Read all three books now, (listened to this one) and each one got more interesting. A bit over the top and unbelievable but wholesome and enjoyable!

A wounderful adventure!

Another great from Ray Blackston

Loved it!

This book is part of a series celebrating women during WW II. The books have exciting plots (including many subplots) and well developed characters you can't help but get attached to. I definitely recommend reading the series in order. While each book can stand on its own, reading them in order helps you understand the characters and their motivations better. The narrator does a great job conveying the different characters and situations. I strongly recommend this entire series to anyone interested in historical fiction or strong women characters!

Boring

Title says it all
