The writer should Read more

I was a little disappointed at how little knowledge the writer had about the Bible their was so many references that weren't true it made the book more trubaling to Read than entertaining. And had it not been for the the fact book was about Angeles I would have thought I was Reading a bad cookie cutter war novel however I appreciate the effort to write a clean book and I can see that the author was trying to express the hope we have in God and the great price he payed for all of us

Heart warming story

This book was rich with both heart warming and inspiring messages, tied into a moving adventure that made it a memorable story. I love how the story revolved around messages of faith, hope, learning from and overcoming trials, and developing a heart of a giant. The language of the story and descriptions were beautiful. Very well written!

Newspaper editor Penn Hardy is murdered during the reenactment of the most famous gunfight in the history of Grace Gulch, Oklahoma. Cici Wilde, owner of a vintage clothing store, feels compelled to investigate when police suspect people close to her. She soon discovers her talent for sleuthing equals her flair for wearing period clothing. Theater director Audie Howe never expected the reenactment to end in a real murder. He cares too much for the future of the Magda Grace Mallory Theater - and the charming Cici Wilde - to let her face danger alone. Cici and Audie take a dangerous gamble to nail the killer - and lay their lives on the line.

I couldn't finish it

This seemed like it would be a good book, however I couldn't finish it. The characters are flat and stereotypical. Their actions are unbelievable and the pacing is slow. I got fed up and returned the book after chapter 6.

Title: The Divine Spark

Subtitle: An Allegory of Awakening

Author: Paula D'Arcy

Narrator: Paula D'Arcy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-21-16

Publisher: Franciscan Media

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

In this deceptively simple allegorical tale, author and sought-after retreat speaker Paula D'Arcy recounts her own spiritual journey in a way that will echo in your heart long after you finish the book.

In the town of Status, across the river from Quo, nothing ever changes. Children are taught to memorize facts but not to think for themselves. Adults live by the motto "work, produce, stay the same." And as long as everyone follows the rules, there is harmony in the two communities. The shops hum, and all ceremonies for the worship of God are appropriately formal and well organized. The past is revered, and the future seems to be secure.

Then the Stranger comes to town. Bringing tales of love and of the Great Being, the Stranger captivates the local children with his joy and delight in life. They dance, fly kites, and disrupt the established rhythm. But Status and Quo's town elders disapprove and soon force the Stranger to move on. And so the townspeople return to their comfortable, predictable lives - all except for Anastasia, a young girl who can't forget the lessons the Stranger taught. When she reaches her 17th year, she begins to feel restless and recognizes within herself a deep longing. A tragedy sets the wheels turning for Anastasia's quest to find the Stranger whose words once captured her heart.

The Divine Spark is a work of visionary fiction for anyone who has ever felt called to leave a place of comforting familiarity in search of the unknown.

One Star

Great book!

If I'd come across this book when my children were ...

If I'd come across this book when my children were small, I would have read them the first chapter when they were small, the next at age 13 and the last when they were finishing high school. Since they're both teens, we'll read a bit each evening during Lent this year instead. A profound & meaningful story. Thank you so much for Ms. D'Arcy for sharing it with the world.

Listened to it completely in two sittings - had intended to do it in 8!!!

Touching story of love and forgiveness

Wonderful experience and hard to stop reading. Some of the pronunciations are jarringly incorrect, but otherwise nice performance.

Publisher's Summary:

Esau Fitzpatrick is bad at being good - and even worse at being bad. As he waits for his sweetheart, Ella Allen, inside the Paisley Settlement church, a brewing storm erupts and lightning strikes, setting the church aflame. Ella and her parents pull Esau from the fire, but his parents are lost in the blazing inferno.

Angry at God, Esau flees his home and all he holds dear, only to fall in with the notorious Covington-Jones gang. He journeys down the path to destruction and darkness, reliving the hellish fire in his nightmares.

Ella clings to the prayer that Esau will find his way back to a godly path - and to her. But Esau is gone, and her world is falling to pieces. Ella must lean on God in a way she's never had to before as she follows her heart against everyone's wishes. Can she dare to believe that Esau will ever change?

Esau's life as an outlaw comes to a head during an epic cattle rustle. He is forced to choose between eternal hellfire and the rocky path of the Lord. Will Ella still be waiting for him? Or, has he lost her forever? God reaches out to Esau again, but will it be in time?

Members Reviews:

Strongly written!

I've been wanting to read The Calling for a while -- not because I'm a follower of Christian fiction, but because I'm definitely a follower of Sara Barnard, whose writing has been getting stronger and stronger with each of her releases.

The Calling didn't disappoint. Wow. What lovely use of language and detail. I could feel Ella's paralysis as the laudanum "turned her to little more than a breathing stone" when she was trying to come to terms with the loss (physically and spiritually) of her beloved. I felt I was right there with her and Esau during their confrontation at the clothesline as the "rogue breeze swirled through the clearing, lending sway to the bluebonnets that ringed the homestead."

Ms. Barnard knows her 19th century history, and details about architecture, firearms, clothing, and current events of that time are seamlessly woven into the narrative. A wonderful way to learn about this period of history. The lawmaker looking for Esau is also chasing after Billy the Kid and hopes to have him "taken care of" by the following week-end. A fun tidbit that grounds this story in reality.

Ms. Barnard's book is satisfying on so many levels -- not only does she tell the story of salvation in a fresh way for her Christian readers, but her prose is satisfying as a love story, a history lesson, and a tale of adventure for the rest of us! Sara, you are on a roll! I can't wait to read your next book!

Prodigal Son story

The Calling by Sara Barnard is essentially the story of a prodigal son. After life deals Esau Fitzpatrick a bad hand he runs away from God and the people that love him only to find himself in a much worse place.

The story is well paced and interesting, drawing the reader in through the present troubles and back to the journey that brought Esau to where he is. I found myself really caring about the character and hoping he could make everything alright, despite making some really dumb decisions.

I liked the religious aspect of it. It came across as real and genuine and I think it added to the character development.

Overall a good story.

Ok but needs work.

The story is cute and typical of cozy mysteries. The Narrator needs to work on delivery of content and practice voices. Poor narration.

Almost couldn't listen

This may be a simple little story, but I almost couldn't keep the recording going when I heard the voice of the narrator. Sicky sweet voice that would have worked well for a children's book, but just grating for adults.
