I loved this book!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I think so many times we are looking for our own soulmates instead of letting God Write our love Story. I can not wait until they make this into a movie next year. This book was very funny and entertaining.

A tad bit misleading...

The sample was hilarious! There were other laugh-out-loud moments, but the sample made me think the whole thing was going to be equally funny. The concept is interesting. Overall, I'd recommend saving the credit and getting a library copy.

Funny

I loved this book. It was funny. There were some theological issues I didn't agree with but all in all I recommend this book. It made me laugh out loud and shed a few tears. Looking for other books by this writer.

GREAT STORY

This is by far one of the best books ever!!! Every single person who wishes to marry should read or listen to this book. This book really teaches you to wait on God.

Teaches Single women that God is our First Husband

I thought this was a great story. As a single women in her thirties I could relate to the sentiments of the main character Jess Stone. I thought this story did a great job in showing single women how God has our best interests at heart. I also like how it depicted the honest struggle of true surrender to God (the purple pen) as well as the rewards (Jonathan). I listen to the story in one day. :-)

The real challenge felt unattainable though since Silas was still so in love with Anna

An engaging book that is hard to put down. Rachel had so much hope and determination to win Silas' heart even though there were several years age difference between them. The real challenge felt unattainable though since Silas was still so in love with Anna, Rschel's older sister who had left the Amish faith. This book makes a reader also build hope in wanting as much for Rachel as she down deep wants for herself. The reader feels the pain and frustrations Rachel goes through. I couldn't put the book down until I knew for certain the final outcome.

Great writer. I enjoy all of the amish books

Great writer. I enjoy all of the amish books. Well written books

Excellent excellent read

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys amish stories. it seems like I

always end up with my faith a little stronger after reading one of this author s

books. this one moved me to tears at times. other authors of amish stories should

take lessons from her. extremely well written and thoughtful. I hated for it to end.

A great read!

A great read and great storyline as well. The over arching message of trusting God first and not leaning on man was very timely for me. Thank you Wanda for being obedient to the Lord!

Interesting story

I enjoyed this story and I am so sure others who read Amish stories will also enjoy this. The author did an excellent job concluding the series and I am sorry there's no more books. I will continue reading this author, though.

So boring!!!!!

So so boring The other books were nice but this one I couldnt even listen to

The second one in the series, great as the first one.

I read (listened really) a parallel book series from Beth about some of the characters, except it being in Paradise- it was in Colorado. Katie Ann was in it. So I decided to go back to the beginning. This series of "The Daughters of Promise" come first, then the other series. It was great to learn a lot of the back story of several of them. The book about Katie Ann was superb. Great series both of them. On to the third one. I liked this one better than I thought I would. Carley was great.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series!

I love this series of books and have enjoyed every production of this authors books so far!

Plain Pursuit - Daughters of the Promises

I throughly enjoyed this book. I could not stop listening.

Brilliant

The story is gripping and the delivery very good. Plenty of opportunities to reflect on human decisions made and why.

A Daily Rate

Grace Livingston Hill was a wonderful author. Audible.com should have more of her books available. I know that quite a few of her books were available on audio cassette in the past, but it is hard to find them these days. The audio presentation was excellent; the narrator did very well and had a voice that is easy to listen to. I would see if the narrator has read any other books that would be worth listening to. Wish there were more books by Grace Livingston Hill on the site!

A Daily Rate

Love all her books. This is one of her best. Loved having it read to me! Hope more will be put on Audible.

another favorite story by grace Livingston hill

very comforting poor to rich girl story. well acted and we'll told by the narrator.

Need more of Mrs Hill's books recorded!!

Reader was very good mostly. She needs a dictionary, though, and learn how to pronounce words. I love Grace Livingston Hill's books and am disappointed that there was only one out of the more than 50 books that she wrote.

Good Inspirational Book

Would you listen to A Daily Rate again? Why?

It's a Christian story written by a Christian author, the narration is done well, and the story is entertaining and has a special message.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Aunt Hannah, and the young man who chose to stop getting drunk, and to live a better life.

What about Susan OMalleys performance did you like?

Her ability to give each character a different voice, and to use inflections properly.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

a young woman learns to trust God.

Any additional comments?

All of Grace Livingston Hill's books are suitable for the whole family.

Godly characters with real world problems!

If you could sum up Blessed Trinity in three words, what would they be?

God is good!!

What other book might you compare Blessed Trinity to and why?

Blessed Trinity is my first book by Vanessa Griggs and now I plan to get every one in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed her Godly characters, the story line and how they dealt with worldly problems by holding on to their faith. I must admit, I am hooked and will be purchasing anything she writes.

Have you listened to any of Caroline Clays other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am a newby to audible books but I thoroughly enjoyed Caroline's reading!

Who was the most memorable character of Blessed Trinity and why?

Johnnie Mae was the most memorable charactor for me because she was so well rounded and yet her center was grounded in God!

Worst Book Ever- Waste of a Credit

Would you try another book from Vanessa Griggs and/or Caroline Clay?

Based on my experience with this book, I don't think that I'll be trying another book from Vanessa Griggs.

What could Vanessa Griggs have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The headings or scritpures that were read before each chapter began could've been left out. Also, she could have included more details on what happened with Johnny May's mother, Pastor Landriss's brother, Charity(Faith and Hope), and the other ministers that were set out for Pastor Landriss's demise. There were too many gaps.

What does Caroline Clay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Caroline Clay is a great reader. She gives each character so much feeling and distinction. I love anything she reads.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Blessed Trinity?

I think I would have cut out the beginning where they were at the anniversary celebration. It was too confusing beginning in the middle only to go backwards. I would also elaborate more on Johnny May's sister Rachel and her other house along with the radio station. Did Pastor Landriss get his money back? Did the guy serve jail time? What happened?

Any additional comments?

This was a waste of a credit. I was disappointed from beginning to end and I would like to get my credit back so that I may purchase a book that I will enjoy.

Blessed Trinity

To me the story drug on to long before we realized that we were dealing with multiple personalities. Other than that it was ok!

Story?????

What would have made Blessed Trinity better?

I would have liked to out find the secret that was guarded. Unless I missed it! Can someone email me what I obviously MISSED.

A Table By The Window

A great book with a twist in the plot. Kept your attention. I hope there will be more by this author.

very nice

It was a very nice read, and I did enjoy it. Some parts were a little elementary, and at times, the reader was a little robotic. Still, over all I enjoyed both the story and the reader, and would recommend the book to friends.

Had to Stop Listening!

Incredibly Good!!!!

This is one of the best books I have ever "Read". I can hardly wait until Audible has more books by Lawana Blackwell. You won't be disappointed in the story. The narrator is not the best, but you soon get over that as you get into the story. It is so good!!! I wish there were sequels to this one. I would love this story to go on and on.

Oh no, no, no!

What would have made A Table by the Window better?

A storyline that doesn't take 14 hours to materialize! There was so much information in this book that didn't need to be written, conversations that didn't need to happen, characters that didn't need to be introduced. My guess is that there is somewhere near 30+ named characters that are described in detail and play little to no immediate part in the plot. Oh, by the way...

definitely not a disappointing story

after finishing the first book I immediately dove into the second one. while I'm a little disappointed that it is now ended I was captivated through the entire story from start to finish! and while the story itself was more than enough to keep me interested the narrator seemed absolutely a perfect choice for this particular storyline.

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Publisher's Summary:

In a community where dissent of any form is discouraged, Emma finds it difficult to rein in her tongue - and often doesn't even try to do so, fueling the animosity between her and the colony's charismatic and increasingly autocratic leader, Wilhelm Keil. Eventually Emma and her husband, Christian, are sent along with eight other men to scout out a new location in the northwest where the Bethelites can prepare to await "the last days."

Christian believes they've found the ideal situation in Washington territory, but when Keil arrives with the rest of the community, he rejects Christian's choice in favor of moving to Oregon. Emma pushes her husband to take this opportunity to break away from the group, but her longed-for influence brings unexpected consequences. As she seeks refuge for her wounded faith, she learns that her passionate nature can be her greatest strength - if she can harness it effectively.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes

Publisher's Summary:

In The Story We Find Ourselves In - the much anticipated sequel to his award-winning book A New Kind of Christian - McLaren captures a new spirit of a relevant Christianity, where traditional divisions and doctrinal differences give way to a focus on God and the story of God's love for this world. If you are searching for a deeper life with God - one that moves beyond the rhetoric of denominational and theological categories - this delightful and inspiring fictional tale will provide a picture of what it could mean to recapture a joyful spiritual life.

Members Reviews:

Let us reason together

As a Pastor of a very conservative church I was not only challeneged, but encouraged by a new way to reach an educated world.

I think The Father wants us to keep our brains when we come to Him. I love this stuff. God is so BIG.

Continuing the Paradigm Change

This sequel to New Kind of Christian is both deeper and broader. It explains the themes in man's relationship / process with God. Continuation of the work identifying and understanding the post-modern approach to Christianity. Not easy subject material, but worthy.

Open Learning Minds will appreciate this work!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Many of the people I know have walked away from a rigid, inflexible religion that was supposed to bring life, but failed to do so. This book, though not perfect or complete, gets a person thinking far beyond the modern us vs them mentality that is killing beautifully spiritual people.

The Story We Find Ourselves in

The narrator of this book did a great job. He was able to capture an Austrailian accent and in the next breath speak with a Jamaican accent with all the natural inflections. The story however was very disappointing. It seems the author was trying to espouse his interpretation of biblical principles, using this fictional volume as a conveyance. I am a Christian and there were several points with which I felt he twisted what the bible really says in view of his own personal opinions. This was done with just enough truth implanted within as to confuse someone who was really seeking biblical truth. Also there were several social scenes which I found in poor taste. Perhaps it's possible to scan a written copy before committing to this work.
