Publisher's Summary:

Now, as Brad navigates a maze of treachery and deceit, he must gamble his case, career, and the lives of those he loves - including his beautiful and talented co-counsel, Leslie Conners - on the ability of his team to bring justice to one family, challenge the religious intolerance of a nation, and alter the course of international law. He must find a way to accomplish this despite insurmountable odds.

Critic Reviews:

"There is plenty of room in evangelical Christian fiction for fresh voices, and debut novelist Singer is a promising one....Legal thrillers are gaining ground in the evangelical Christian market, and this is an agreeable addition to the genre." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Wow...timely

This book was even better than By Reason of Insanity. It moved quickly, kept me on the "edge of my seat," and kept me listening when I ought to have gotten out of the car or gone to sleep. Singer gives some insight into the ins and outs of the legal system, especially as he ties it to how the State Department sometimes works overtime to protect America's "allied nations" (in this case Saudi Arabia), as they try to hide their illegal activities against Americans. Can't wait to read more of his books.

A Great Thriller!

What made the experience of listening to Directed Verdict the most enjoyable?

I'm a Randy Singer fan & he outdoes himself once again! It's a great thriller story with many twists & turns. I had a hard time putting this book down.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Directed Verdict?

The colorful characters kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through the entire book. Every time I thought I knew what would come next, I was totally surprised.

What does Cameron Beierle bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His voice was perfect for keeping the suspense of the story. I liked his inflections & suspense-FULL voice.

If you could rename Directed Verdict, what would you call it?

It's a perfect title

Any additional comments?

Another wonderful book by Randy Singer!

If You Like Legal...

If you enjoy courtroom action, then you'll like Randy Singer's "Directed Verdict." The plot is very plausible, especially in our current world. There are enough twists and turns to keep one guessing. And Singer's manner of presenting the Gospel is handled in a genuine fashion ... direct, but not obnoxious.

Cameron Beierle is a capable narrator. I felt that he sometimes got his characters confused, but rarely enough so as not to kill the book for me.

alonzo

A slow start however it became interestin g. There were a number of errors as these apply to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, conversion let alone maintaining anything approaching a viable "Church " would be impossible. It would be great if the legal system recognised it's potential for error (as set down in the book), unlikely however, on he whole an entertaining book, one I'm not sorry I purchased

Directed Verdict

Ugh! There should be a warning "Beware: extreme evangelical Christian content!"

After a painting triggers strange memories, Ben Martin comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, in search of answers. Although Annie and this enchanting outsider are from different worlds, she wonders why Ben's kindness seems so familiar and his presence so calming to her - and to the troubled husband of her best friend.

Members Reviews:

So, so good!

Loved reading the continuation of Annie's life and her struggle to do the right thing, in God's eyes and the eyes of her family -- especially her father. Her decision as to whether to follow her heart's desire, Ben Martin, even though he is not Plain, pulls your heartstrings taut and holds the tension all the way through this second installment of this wonderful series! The other characters are also fleshed out so nicely that you feel as if you know them all. There is a lot of pressure on the preacher's daughter and sometimes it seems she bears a greater burden than her brothers. Such a compelling story, and everyone wants Annie to be able to have Ben, but it just doesn't seem possible without breaking rules and hearts. Such delicious angst, yet with hope!

Annie and her secret.

The book was very good. The biggest problem I see is the fact that salvation is mentioned but never is it told HOW a person becomes saved. I think things get "watered" down a bit. Salvation is through the shed blood of Christ and we must acknowledge the fact that we are sinners and need to saved. Also, it shows a sign of weakness when the couple stays in the Amish church but keeps their salvation a secret so as not to offend.

and a very good read. I found each in the series tender ...

The whole set of "Annie's People" was heartwarming, and a very good read. I found each in the series tender and wish there had been more.

Viola Dougherty, author of "The Man Behind the Cardboard Sign".

It was slow starting, but perseverance pays.

It was not the best performance, but the story drew me in as I got to know the characters. I ended up hoping for them and rooting for them.

Wonderful!

I loved this story. Am eager to start the next one in the series.

Loved the narrator too. She has such an "innocent" voice that suits the Amish well. :o)

Members Reviews:

Just another Amish Story

This story was rather predictable. Seemed like just another Amish story from a cookie cutter mold. And I was left hanging at the end of the book. I didn't feel like the story was done yet when the book ended.

Excellent

The author once again created realistic n plausible life situation. The characters were interesting. The godly wisdom right on point. I walk away with encouragement and hope.

"[A] vivid portrait of how faith can move mountains and heal relationships." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

okay.....

this book was okay, the storyline was very good and the characters were/are well develop, although I had read previous books of only Sheridan's story I imagine all the women had previous stories in other books. The narrator was extremly good as always, my only qualm with the book it kinda left you with loose ends, There were ubsavory characters that i wish would have gotten their just desserts, and one character in particular I just wanted to strangle, but all in all it was a very good story you get drawn in with the characters and laugh and cried as they did, the loose ends were not so bad may be this is the set up for the next book.

Enjoyable - would refer or suggest this read

I usually tell my feelings about the book instead of details about the book. So I dont know how to really review LOL! The characters are well defined. Interesting how the ex-files come together. Story potrayed very vivid and well thought out real life people. Real issues, real dealings. I bonded with Sheridan because of her status and family ideolgy and the ups and downs. Didnt have that type of hubby. I wont say excellent, but very very good! Get the book and the narrator has a great track record. All books narrated by this person are very enjoyable, noises and all. not so much noises this story. Ok my 50 cents. remember to write a review, they are helpful in future purchases of others, thats how I pick/choose my books. so help me out.

Too Tragic!!

If you're interested in a story that has a realistic and "feel good" end- this ain't it!! This was tragedy on top of tragedy! Of the four women, one,( maybe) showed promise.None of the other three concluded with any promise,in my opinion. Again, in my opinion concluding with tragedy, treachery,and painful loss is not conducive to a good story. I was throughly disappointed.

Good book!

I really enjoyed it in the end. I was mad at Asia but liked the way the storyline worked out. I appreciated very much how each woman's faith helped them through their issues, allowing to grow and be themselves at the same time. Pretty good book.

Very good listen.

Relates to life and current situations in the world. I sorta felt like I was a part of the prayer group.

A restored soul

Two young girls become fast friends in a small town in North Carolina in the early 1900's. Tragedies befell both, but while one's faith in God remained steadfast, the other became bitter and turned from God and her friend. In the end, Jodie is reconciled to her friend who has faithfully prayed for her. Jodie does find God also faithful as He restores her soul. The writer did a beautiful job of drawing me in through conversations between characters and descriptions of their thoughts and feelings.

Five Stars

I love all Janette Oke books..This is another one that has a beautiful story. I enjoyed it ,

Great read!

This was a great read by two great authors. Enjoyed the development of the main characters very much. Such a sweet friendship through the years between them.

Great read

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was very interesting since I'm not far from harmony pa. Wish it was a series.

How things work when you trust in the Lord.

Jeanette continues to show us the ups and downs of life on earth. Only trough trusting our Lord and Savior can we go forward to meet life as He has planned for us. Heartache, trials, grief, disappointment, mental stress and deliverance from worldly woes come from faith in our great Triune.

Critic Reviews:

"Overall, Alexander achieves a wonderfully balanced mix of romance, adventure, and humor. She guides the reader on an unforgettable journey from Colorado to Idaho, from brokenness to healing, from ashes to beauty. Revealed is a charming, compelling story with a strong message of restoration through Christ. It will easily sweep an adult female audience off [their] feet." (ChristianBookPreviews.com)

Members Reviews:

Wonderful story

This sequel to Rekindled was wonderful. The narrator did an excellent job. This was my second time to hear a book by Tamera Alexander and I am hooked on her writing. The only thing I did not like in both books was the use of the word Whore over and over. I really don't feel words like that should be used in books that are labeled Christian fiction. The reason I read and listen only to Christian Fiction is for that very reason. I know they are safe from profanity, vulgarity and crude language. Other than that it was perfect in every way.

Overall good read

Overall, I enjoyed Revealed and found it easy to listen to. Concepts of God's grace, forgiveness, friendship and love weave into a feel good story that I believe most will enjoy. My only critique is some points seemed to be drawn out (Matthew's initial hate for Anna Belle...Anna Belles own diminshed self love). These ideas slowed down the book. However, if you like romance and redemption stories you'll enjoy this one.

series part two was great

I really like the characters and I am looking forward to seeing how the story ends...don't you sometimes wish great series would just keep going?

Enjoyable

I enjoy books by Tamera Alexander very much. I've read several and find them difficult to put down. This particular book was more predictable than some, but still held my attention very well. Stories of forgiveness, redemption, and love are always encouraging. I am looking forward to reading much more by this author.

Well written and performed

This book had much richness to it with the period writing, and narration aspect. Good story line with many twists and turns. The author did a fabulous job of fleshing out the characters and their feelings.

Title: Shadowed

Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-18-06

Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 114 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Follow him, his wife Jae, and their young children, Brie and Connor, as they try to elude capture and sentencing for treason.

In this rapid-fire conclusion to the best-selling Soon series, the laws banning the practice of religion around the globe are on the brink of collapse. The tide is turning, but personal, family hostilities threaten to end in disaster before the world comes to its senses.

Members Reviews:

Awesome book! Really makes you think about the fut

Would you consider the audio edition of Shadowed to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version, but I would say, "No" because the narration falls far short on the foreign accents. It really detracts from the performance.

Did Steve Sever do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

He did a great job differentiating the characters, but the foreign accents were terrible. They left me confused at times as to who was speaking. Thank goodness those parts are limited, or else I would not listen to the book at all.

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

We all really disliked Ranald. I like to think I'm pretty loving and forgiving, but if I were confronted with a man like that, it would take supernatural intervention to keep from trying to kill him! He is a truly unpleasant character, but I enjoy the fact that he provides talking points about loving enemies and being responsible for our reactions to people like that.

Any additional comments?

I love it when audiobooks are suspenseful! My kids and I really enjoyed the series. I especially loved leaving a cliffhanger when we had to exit the car!

This is Great story and message of Christian faith

This is a Great story and message of Christian faith...the characters are likeable and realistic and the story kept me on the edge of my seat.

Awesome Book

This book keeps you on the edge I believe there will be a 4th book. hope so anyways.

Better than Left Behind

This was realistic and very well done. I enjoyed this whole series.

Great Book

While listening you will forget that it is a Christian book with underlying Biblical Principles and Godly messages about the future. The book is set in the future after WWIII and the New World Government is trying to stamp out Christianity blaming religion for all the wars suffered in the past. It did not get past the reader that the main person trying to persecute the Christians that was converted to Christianity is named Paul. While the story is very futuristic and difficult to believe at times, it is well written and a nail biting thriller. This was Jenkins solo attempt after splitting with Lahaye. It is a good series and well worth listning too. It is scary to realize that things could get this bad, but it is up lifting to know that God will always give us the strength to survive for his good. The characters are wonderfully described and you feel you are on the run with them.

Publisher's Summary:

By the time the story ends, Marci hears the heavenly music herself. So will you. Once you hear this unforgettable story, you'll never be the same.

Members Reviews:

Story great, narration not so much

This is a tragic and gruesome story that is beautifully written and ultimately inspirational. It is about love of Christ and the discovery of beauty in the world. The author does a great job of showing the brutality of war and and the complexity of personal sacrifice. My only complaint is that the narrator mispronounces almost all of the Bosnian and Serbian names and also does not have a very good accent when narrating the voices. It would be much better to have a narrator who knows how to say the names of these characters and places, as they are actually pronounced, not through an American approximation.

Make you think

Great book loved every minute of it! Makes you wonder how strong your faith and love is for Christ and how you would act in that situation.

Stunning

Makes you look a bit deeper at yourself and your priorities. Narrator was excellent in his delivery. God bless you

Wow...

If you could sum up The Martyr's Song in three words, what would they be?

Love, sacrifice, amazing.

Which character as performed by James K. Flynn was your favorite?

Father Michael - no

Nadia - no

Janjic Jovic - no

all of the above.

the emotions and actions of all of the above characters are essential to this amazing story and James K. Flynn executed the narration of the story and these characters perfectly.

Any additional comments?

If you have never listened to or read a Ted Dekker novel... You should check this one out. It is short and to the point and a very emotional book. It is one of my all time favorites and I listen to it at least once per year.

a proper perspective

This is one of my favorite books of all time. It puts our lives here on this earth in proper perspective. If you know Jesus and you need encouragement this is a book that will show you the human capability to rise to the highest love through Christ's help.

I normally don't sit down and listen to full books at one sitting but I just couldn't stop. This book is captivating from beginning to end. I believe it will bless you greatly.
