At the Scent of Water

I gladly submit a review for this book. I loved this story and the characters. I have to say I cried some cleansing tears. I was caught up in the first words and willingly followed along to the last. I'm sure reading the book would have touched me but the narrator made it even better.

Thank you Linda. Can't wait til the next book.

One of my audible favorites

This is one of the best books of adult Christian fiction I've read in many years. After I read/inhaled it the first time, I bought this audio version and over the past few years have listened to it twice. The writing is rich and the narration a great fit.

I live near the area where the story is supposed to have taken place. Linda Nichols captured the setting truly and beautifully.

Great story of love, loss and faith

I loved the story and plot. The only think I didn't like about the audiobook was that I could hear the narrator make funny noises, like snatching his mouth or something. It almost sounded like his dentures were coming loose. (I have no idea if he wear dentures)

Too much "fluff" but overall a good story

This was a good story, but the author got caught up in too many details and wandering around a bit. She could have left out a couple of hours of listening time and it would have been better. I love long books, but get bored when the story rambles.

very gloomy & depressing

This moody book is a tapestry (nay, wet blanket) woven of grief, gloom and gospel. I could only take 3 hours of it before quitting. I'm hoping it has an uplifting ending - but I'll never know.

Great Read!

Another great Christian fiction. The author explores new technology, and scary future possibilities. Very intriguing. Couldn't put it down. Religion was not the focus, just a reality in the character's lives. Well done. Wish it could have been longer.

technology meets the afterlife

What happens when we try to use technology to share the experience of someone who dies and "crosses over"? This aspect involves some interesting imagery, but the story is really more of a suspense about uncovering a scandal involving killing people and using their body parts in transplants. Also involved and addressed heavily are issues of love, truth, and forgiveness. All in all, it is a pretty good book...

Phenominon book

this book is good, especially with the other three. They almost have to be read or listened to in order to get the full meaning of each book. But very good, this book made me want to hurry to the next book, so I wouldn't miss anything.

Preachy, Preachy, Preachy

Way too much preachiness. The characters had to repeat almost every statement...sometimes with slight stutters. That little artifice grew old fast. The Hero came across as "namby-pamby" rather than sensitive and loving. I really felt kind of sorry for his son. Poor whiney kid needed his dad and was consistently ignored throughout. He'll probably grow up to be a seriel killer. Gita was incredibly naive and unbelievable. The author ineptly diguised the sermons that flowed unending from her lips as "truth". The book could have been very interesting had the author not kept continuously beating me about the head and shoulders with the metaphoric religious angle iron. Overall a ho-hum listen.

Not so much, really.

I found the description very misleading, as this turned out to be not much more than a Christian parable. Once I looked at his other books, I probably could have guessed that, though. Aside from flatly drawn characters that border on genuinely stupid, he also has a bit of a pronoun problem: "He walked up to a door. He wiped his face and opened it." If you want a "Ain't God great?" story, go ahead and listen, but "gut-wrenching"? Not so much.

Members Reviews:

Interesting, but written from another period

I did not find this book had the pacing or interest holding ability that In His Steps, the previous work contained. At times it tended to drag and the accents of the characters were distracting rather then helpfull. It was apparent that the current focus at the time of it's writing was alcohol abuse, the abuse of the workers by the wealthy and the need not to criticize church authority. Much in the mode of the Billy Sunday era. The book in my opinion is not as relevant to this decades problems and current view of what Jesus would do. This said, it is still worth hearing to gain a perspective of the writers thoughts in the time it was written.

Insightful

I found this story of Jesus inspiring and for me life changing. Charles Sheldon presents us with so much insight into the work of Jesus here on earth. Wonderful presentation.

Interesting, but somewhat weak in progression.

The concept was good, and interesting but it progressed rather slowly and in my opinion could have taken on stronger character throughout. Over all it is well worth listening for anyone who will think it thru.

"A compelling journey into all matters southern and spiritual." (The Boston Globe)

Members Reviews:

Not (just) for Christians

I really like the character of Grace and the straightforward way she tells the story of her bizarre (to me) life in a Christian Cult. More than about any particular religion, it is about how are lives are shaped by the beliefs of those around us.

loved it

I read this book a couple of monthes ago but I just can't get it of my mind. I feel as though I know the families envolved personally. The book was great and brought to life by Christina Moore, I would recomend this to everyone. 2 thumbs up

a great story teller

this story is not for young children adult situations leaves the judgement of the ending up to the reader very human story not typical

Unusual, unhappy character portrayal.

Florida Grace is the eleventh child of a snake handling, revival preacher. Her mother, (her fathers third wife) has a loving spirit while her father is a bit too busy to pay much attention to the younguns. Grace feels out of step for most of her young life. While her parents are busy ministering she is partially raised by a warm, neighbor family.

While Grace is a young teen, an older teen boy shows up claiming a connection with her father. He wrangles a spot in the household and uses his charm to twist his relationship with Grace and others. When Graces mother dies, her father takes Grace and sets out on the road to continue his preaching. After a time Grace is abandoned and ends up taken in by the churchs strict pastor. The pastor lives with an equally strict and dour sister who isnt thrilled to have Grace become part of the family.

Live brings some moments of joy to Grace but more times of trouble, confusion and heartache. Some of the further troubles are brought about by Graces own actions which ultimately bring her full circle to her childhood home where she must face herself and the God who has long pursued her.

The story setting is bleak, although the history is eccentrically fascinating. I was glad that Grace is a strong character, at times even vibrant through her struggles. I felt sorrow at the failings in her childhood and in her adult life. I could understand her anger and bitterness and resistance to a God whose truths were so twisted by her father and others close to him.

The major tone of the story is hopelessness. I am not a fan of depressing, family dramas. The blurb gave me hope that there was a revelation in Graces story. I trudged through the sadness looking and hoping for the light. The revelation doesnt come until the very end and I was disappointed by what I found to be a very weak concluding scene.

This is well written with a wonderful depth of description and emotion. Still, I cant say that I enjoyed the story. It is not really a Christian novel but more an expose of a sad, twisted history of a small religious sect.

Pulp Christian fiction

Well, this book was written to the level of the lowest denominator of reader. It had potential, starting with a great subject. Of course, this is a fictionalization of what the end times prophesied in the NT Bible will be like. Moreover, it is a portrayal held by a portion of Christians, not at all an ecumenical in scope. Of these prophesies, this is just one amongst a plethora of interpretations. This is one mans fictionalized, fleshed out story for the common masses. It is not great or even good literature. It's just entertaining enough for readers who have the attention span of typical modern Americans. For any serious reader, it will be a BORE! If you are interested in pulp Bible prophesies, this is the book series for you.

Fun if you accept it for what it is...

...which is a rather poor attempt at fiction, with characters you don't care about, interspersed with sermons. In time this could be a historical document of a particular brand of fundamentalist theology. Anyway, it's utter rubbish, but the one redeeming feature is the narrator. Struggling to bring the book alive, his tone is immensely serious, and he manages to out-do Dick Van Dyke in the 'worst cockney accent attempted by an American' category (the taxi driver).

Not sure I'm happy I've wasted my book allowance on this, but probably worth listenting to just so you know what the whole 'left behind' experience is about.

Entertaining, thought provoking, controversial

I will try and actually review the book, as opposed to providing my interpretation of the author's brand of Christianity.

It is not the best written book. The prose is interesting enough, but a little heavy handed at times. It is, however, thought provoking to be sure.

It is clear that the authors are "born-again." This is only a problem so much as knowing that Michael Moore is a "Marxist-Liberal". Since you know that going in, if you are open-minded, you will enjoy the book(s) that much more.

If you are at all interested in the book of "Revelations" from the New Testament, then these fictionalized accounts of the predicted end-times may spawn further, more tangible, investigations. These books on their own should be considered nothing more than entertainment -- which many, including myself, have found them to be.

Bottom Line: Mediocre writing aside, these books might get you thinking, might make you mad, may make you want to do further investigation, may even have you question your relationship to your creator.... I think these things are some attributes of the best of all books -- written well or not.

Very very thought provoking

This was the best combination of suspense thriller, action novel, love story, and Christian testimonial I've ever read! Great spin and very inspiring. A must-read for true believers or anyone who is interested in biblical prophecy and how it all might unfold.

Should have been Left Behind

Simple, Predictable, Lacked imagination and development of non christian explanations of the rapture.

Language: English

Release date: 09-10-15

Publisher: Father's House Publishing

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Captain Darkney has been marooned, and sentenced to hard labor in the American prison colony. Can the brave boy captain and his newly acquired (albeit insane) mate, Jamey, escape the maniacal clutches of the prison guards in time to reunite with his crew and continue the fight for the beloved Cause? And will there be enough waffles?

The make-believe world of Jamey's summer playmate is nothing compared to the new life he has been given! He never even thought he would meet his legendary, larger-than-life, half private-eye, half-mercenary dad- much less get to live with him! In his just-get-by-world, truth has always been much stranger than fiction, so playing the insane mate with Sean's alter ego is finally nothing more than letting himself be a kid. That is, until his dad thinks he is lying to him, and Jamey decides that taking care of himself the way he used to is the best life for him, after all.

How do drug dealing gang members, murder, political corruption, and kidnapping find their way into the middle of rural West Virginia? When real life sin invades a remote, former coal community, the grace of God abounds in the MacKensey family!

Swee Story with Deep Meaning

What I Liked: Adventures was a sweet story to allow myself to be swept away to. Reading it reminded me of watching a Narnia movie, as it is set in the medieval period and contains castle sieges and battles out at sea :D There were so many small-yet-profound lessons to be gleaned from Alditha and William's story- mainly around our perception of God vs how He really is, and also not allowing hardship to harden you, embitter you. I loved the main characters determination to do right, and to always endeavor to see the bright side of things (something I could learn a lesson or two from ;)

What I Didn't Like: At several parts throughout the story, I found myself, while always ennoying it and not getting bored, wondering exactly what the plot was, or what it was leading up to. I think I kept waiting for this big build up to a climax or big main problem Alditha would have to overcome....when in reality, instead of one big mountian, the obstacles came in little hills and valleys for our characters (yes the last one is a little bigger ;). They do however round off nicely at the end. This book would make a great tv mini-series lol.

Excellent Story!!

Alditha is the main character in this book and is an absolute inspiration. As I read through the book, watching her go through struggle after struggleâstruggles that I would have caved under mind youâwatching as she smiled and listened to her fatherâs advice of being kind, I couldnât help but be inspired.

This book, to me, is a fiction, retelling of the prequel to Robin Hood (a retelling of Robin Hood is her second book in this series.) And I must admit, I really really really love The Robin Hood stories.

Things I Loved:

I love love love the character development in this book, I love the relationships between the characters and watching Alditha grow is so inspiring. I love the ending to this book, and I really would read it again and again.

Things I Didnât Love:

The beginning of this book, while melancholy was pivitol to this story. So while I didnât like the beginning of the book at first, once Iâd finished I understood itâs importance.

A Sweet Love Story in a Very Hard Time

This is a story about a people without choices, the peasants in the middle ages. A young woman in that day decides to make a choice and save a friend and it sends her away from her family but unbeknownst to her to the man she would love, and to a new family - but danger as well. In this book we get a picture of all ranks of society, from kings to peasants and the vast disparity as well as how much they shared in common.

What would you do if you were given 11 rowdy street newsies and told either you turn them into model citizens or they get sold into indenture or sent to the military? Of course, start a pipe and drum corps! Eleven Pipers Piping is the story of a sweet music teacher and 11 boys given one chance or else, but one boy doesn't seem like the others. And just who is his father?

From Newsies To Pipers

Eleven Pipers Piping, by Angela Breidenbach, is a charming addition to the Montana Beginnings series. Although second in the series, the novella is easily a stand alone read. Mirielle, a teacher at a boys' school in 1890s Helena, has a special place in her heart and life for the eleven newsies that are now threatened with being rounded up and sent off to military school or become indentured servants. These young Orphan Train boys who sell newspapers to survive have been called rowdy hooligans and uncouth youth by the townspeople but Mirielle sees beyond the dirt of the streets and sees potential. Evan, a father looking for a lost son, asks Mirielle for help. Can they find 6-year-old Joseph or is he truly gone? Will the newsies help? How in the world is Mirielle going to save the newsies from being sent away? Will the wealthy townspeople respond to her plea for help? A little bit of Montana history, a little bit of romance and a lot of hope makes for an engaging story. The audiobook was narrated well by Tristan Leder, giving each character their own unique voice.

I was given an audio copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Honorable clean sweet read

Any additional comments?

This was a very nice short listen of hope and making dreams come true. There is nothing more powerful than a women giving up her life to protect boys that live on the street. Her job is cut out for her when she is told you have ex number of days to turn these boys around and make them model citizens or they will be sold in indenture service or given to the military. This is one passionate lady that goes beyond the call to bring a few children happiness and a new home and the father looking for his son willing to help her.

Tristan Leder did a wonderful job of narration you could feel the pain, sorrow and power in her voice. Her voice is calm and smooth making this an enjoyable listen. Her male voices are just as nice is her females one. There are no background noises just one clean and clear listen.

It was a very enjoyable listen but since it is just a short listen there isnt much more you can say without giving the story away. The author does give you a believable read with great characters. You heart goes out to these young boys as they deal with day to day issues of just staying alive. I feel most would enjoy this. If you are looking for a clean short read filled with love of children this is the book for you.

A delightful Interlude

Once again, Breiden takes us back to 19th century Montana. Who cannot be charmed by scrappy street boys, a hero in search of his son, and a heroin determined to help all of them? This novella is a treat.

Beautiful sory of hope

I enjoyed listening to this story being read by Tristan Leder. This is the second book in the Montana Beginnings series, but can stand alone. Mirielle Sheehan has taken upon herself to train 11 rowdy boys to be model citizens after a confrontation with the school superintendent.

Intense series, Great conclusion

Chris moves to solitary NC with his recently divorced alcoholic mother in the beginning of his junior year of High school. He quickly realizes all is not kosher in the backwoods town. The town is ruled and manipulated by and overbearing thug type character who in turn is ultimately ruled by a creepy old man being kept alive by evil supernatural circumstances.

Through the series Chris begins to see that it is no accident he and his mom, who grew up in solitary , Moved back to town. There is a battle over Chris soul and to continue solitary's place as a gateway for evil to enter the world. Chris is an unlikely hero, the best kind...He never knows where to turn and who to trust. People around him betray him, others are threatened and even killed. In this series he goes through a spiritual transformation that helps in his battle against evil forces.

I went through all four books in a row. At first I was not sure about the narration but by the end of the first book I thought Heyborne was perfect for the voice of Chris.

. I am an adult an this is a series based on the last two years of high school for a teenage boy. However there is enough meat for adults and Chris goes through some very adult struggles during his journey.

I very much appreciated the sarcasm in times of trouble that went through Chris' mind. And some of the just funny scenes...Chris getting his license for one.

This series is creepy, spooky and intensely scary all while being funny, a little sappy and spiritual.

The religious theme is throughout the series but in my opinion is never hokey. I thought the author did a great job in using secular themes such as songs and song lyrics and also spiritual themes, especially verses from the Bible that were completely appropriate to the circumstances. Psalms for comfort in times of fear and trouble and Words from Paul about putting on the full armor of God to face an epic spiritual battle.

There are great characters in this book: the creepy pastor, the geeky friend, all the girls Chris gets involved with some more likable than others, the high school bully, the ever smoking unlikely friend "Brick" who shows up when needed most, the strange and troubled Aunt, The Jittery Alcoholic Uncle, The old lady who may be an angel, The hound from hell and the wolves...to name a few.

The only criticisms I have, The author basically made every Girl and woman in the series "hot" and made many weight comments that I done think teenagers need to dwell on anymore than they already do.
