Yes I would listen to another book by Art, but he's not my favorite Narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I listened to it all while driving

Any additional comments?

I would listen to another book by Mr. Ball again. I'm surprised there are not more reviews on this novel. Good End times Novel.

Junior high level story

I like the whole idea of a story, but sooo much is lacking. Lawrence and Alonzo are hard to keep separate as the names are too similar. Not enough character development is done. The narrator, who is pleasant to listen to, doesn't have breaks In Between the chapters or scenes. . I finally quit listening to this choppy story when I could not visualize it anymore. I hope that the author would revisit this story with some depth and a good writing teacher. This story was like one long run-on sentence.

Disappointing

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I can't think of anyone who would enjoy this book. It wasn't well written and it didn't really fit in with any of the categories.

Would you ever listen to anything by Traci Tyne Hilton again?

No

What character would you cut from Foreclosed?

All of them.

Too much background.

I'm already into chapter 5 and I'm still waiting to find out what the mystery is!

Wish it had more depth but it was a nice...

Wish it had more depth but it was a nice story. Narration could be better.

I am a Christian, but ...

Would you try another book from Traci Tyne Hilton and/or Misty of Echoing Praise?

No

What could Traci Tyne Hilton have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I couldn't even get halfway through the book. I am a Christian, but I personally don't want to listen to a book that mentions God and Christ in every paragraph.

What didnt you like about Misty of Echoing Praises performance?

It was just OK

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Boredom

Any additional comments?

I didn't like the recording with all the background noise - cars honking, phones ringing, etc.

Publisher's Summary:

Living on her own for her first time, Bible school student Jane cleans houses to make ends meet. But being independent brings big trials, like falling for a handsome professor, dealing with an obnoxious roommate, and then there's the dead bodies...

Who knew being housekeeper to wealthy owners of a Roly Burger franchise would mean sweeping up clues to their death, while ministering to the needs of their heirs?

This is one big mess that Jane is intent on cleaning up before things get even worse.

Members Reviews:

Ms Roberts is the best thing about this book

Actually bought this a while ago, but it got lost in the to-be-read pile.

Interesting little mystery, speedy plot, but main character is disappointing. For someone who is paying out big money to go to private college to learn to be a missionary, she seems to have little sense and less adaptive skills.

The saving points of this Whispersync-on-the-cheap deal was the performance by narrator Rebecca Roberts. I honestly can't say if I would have finished it as a print or ebook, but her voice interpretation caused me to want to listen to the end.

Beefy Burgers, Bible College & Being Independent

Jane is working her way through Bible College, to the consternation of her parents, who'd prefer her to come home and enroll in a four-year university . . . on their dime . . . nearing graduation, Jane makes ends meet by cleaning houses . . . when one morning she arrives at one of her clients' homes to find them DEAD . . . the wealthy clients are the owners of a burger franchise in town, which has been drawing health nut protesters on the news . . . Jane continues to keep house for the family of the deceased, and her other clients, as well as go to school, while she and Jake, the son try to determine what killed Mr. and Mrs. Crawford . . . the protesters would have them think they died of heart disease after years of eating burgers . . . the story is clean and Jane is way too naive for her own good, finding her unsavory roommate on the internet and buying a used car that turns out to be stolen . . . but you will find yourself rooting for her, relishing in her unstoppable spirit and wishing that more of today's young people had her kind of work ethic . . . all in all an easy, fun listen . . .

Double Trouble Murder

What made the experience of listening to Good, Clean, Murder the most enjoyable?

Moves along fast and holds ones interest.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Quit the biting of the lip. Not only is Jane constantly biting her lip or her inside cheek, others do the same. Make Jane have a little more backbone. Jane mistakes being a doormat as being a Christian.

What about Rebecca Robertss performance did you like?

Rebecca Robert's did a really good job narrating. She has a nice voice and makes the story more interesting. I really like Roberts style.

If you could rename Good, Clean, Murder, what would you call it?

I really don't know what else to call it. The title is quirky and ok as it is.

Any additional comments?

Too many references to missionary or church things that are abbreviated without explaining the meaning of them. Jane is a bit of a drip. She sure is not ready for any kind of missionary work. It is a Christian mystery but could be better presented.

Members Reviews:

Very interesting with the twists!

I really enjoyed this book...the second of the series!! Funny and loving! I always love Amish stories!!

Too Many "Coincidences"

I normally love the genre . . . but the writing is amateurish and implausible . . . I stuck with it until the end, but it was gruesome . . . I do appreciate the sentiment . . . the Christian morals and the choices that were ultimately made . . . but I won't be trying another by this author . . .

Great read

Loved it! It kept my interest all the way through. I will definitely recommend it.

Great Story

What did you love best about Amish by Accident?

Was a very good story, interesting plot yet easy to keep up with.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Amish by Accident?

The shocking unexpected blessing at the end. Make me all happy and giddy!

Have you listened to any of Nellie Barnetts other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but after this one I would listen to others by her.

If you could rename Amish by Accident, what would you call it?

Amish Switch

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this story. Was kinda slow getting started but once it had the characters in place it was very enjoyable. The reading was nicely done and easy to understand. She was good at separating the characters with how she read. The book did have a very good religious message as well.

Title: A Story of God and All of Us

Subtitle: A Novel Based on the Epic TV Miniseries 'The Bible'

Author: Roma Downey, Mark Burnett

Narrator: Keith David, Roma Downey, Mark Burnett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-26-13

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 137 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Audie Award Winner, Inspirational/Faith-Based Fiction, 2014

Based on the epic miniseries...

A Story of God and All of Us is a sweeping narrative that dramatizes some of the most important events and characters in the Bible. The book is narrated like a fine novel, dramatizing the sweep of biblical events, making the men and women of scripture come alive in vivid detail and dialogue. All are historically and theologically accurate. A 10-hour miniseries on the History Channel will be based on the story, and the script has been reviewed by a number of Christian church leaders and seminarians for authenticity. The book will be released one month prior to the debut of the television series. Many prominent biblical characters will be dramatized in the story: Moses, David, Daniel, John the Baptist and, of course, Jesus. The book will reveal the prophetic significance of the empires that controlled Israel: (Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans) and how these figured into biblical prophecy, especially concerning the Messiah.

Murder, mystery, betrayal & more!

We live in such a wonderful time for listening to books. And, there are so very many good ways to listen to the Bible and/or stories about the Bible, biblical characters, studies about Jesus and God. I enjoy these books, but even if they are not your "cup of tea" this book should please. For those not familiar with the Bible, it has sex, violence, blood, guts, intrigue, betrayal, love triangles, murder and much, much more.

I don't have television, so I cannot compare this to the mini-series that is currently running. I had read several things about the upcoming mini-series produced by Roma Downey (Touched by An Angel) and her husband Mark Burnett (reality series producer), with such talent and love of God it had to be a winner. So when I heard there would be a book, I signed up and waited. I will say I love Ms Downey's voice, so I was at first disappointed that she wasn't doing the narration, but, I believe they made the right choice.

You'll note in the description it lists three persons for narration, and indeed Ms Downey and Mr Burnett do narrate, but only at the beginning, when they explain about the book/series, the book itself is narrated by Keith David. He is good and does the book justice.

For anyone who has not read about the mini-series, it touches on stories from Genesis to Revelation, but only a few in depth. According to the producers, the reason for this was simply time and money. It would not be realistic to try to do the whole bible in a spectacular way, so they concentrated on doing just some of the stories in depth. From the book I can say that some of the stories will be familiar to most people, even those who've never read the Bible or stepped foot in a synagogue/church/etc. Some stories are not as well known, but all are done in a way that I believe even school aged boys would find exciting.

No doubt the mini-series with it's special effects will amaze the watchers just as Cecil B.

Title: Come to the Table

Author: Neta Jackson

Narrator: Jackie Schlicher

Format: Unabridged

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 55 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Kat Davies is suddenly wondering if her good deed was a bad idea. Kat may be new in her faith, but she's embraced the more radical implications of Christianity with reckless abandon. She invited Rochelle, a homeless mother, and her son to move into the apartment she shares with two other housemates. And she's finally found a practical way to channel her passion for healthy eating by starting a food pantry at the church.

And her feelings for Nick are getting harder to ignore. The fact that he's the interning pastor at SouledOut Community Church and one of her housemates makes it complicated enough. But with Rochelle showing interest in Nick as a father-figure for her son, their apartment is feeling way too small. But not everyone thinks the food pantry is a good idea.

When the woman she thought would be her biggest support just wants to "pray about it", Kat is forced to look deeper at her own motives. Only when she begins to look beyond food as an issue does she see people who are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink and realizes the deeper significance of inviting them to "come to the table". Kat must do some serious soul searching to determine where God is asking her to use her talents and passion...and what role she wants to play in Nick's life.

Members Reviews:

Great read!

Never disappointed with Neta Jacksons books. As usual if you hadnt read the 1st book the storyline was covered in this one; of course , missing some of the best parts. Life as a Christian is not about seeking the glory ourselves. Spending time in prayer and bible study is so important. Also, having trusted people to pray for you and with you.

Come to the Table

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the Windy City Series. This one is no exception. I only hope there is more to come!

Great storyline

Loved the storyline. I've read quite a few of Neta Jackson's books and liked that I got some updates on her other characters. I like the fact that the characters are real. They mess up just like I do and God still has patience with them (me). I had to get used to the new narrator and the new voices of the characters but she did a good job. Loved this book.

GOOD READ

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

No. The audio helps the reader to image the character and the action because the dramatization.of the narrative. It also helps the reader establish an identity with some of the characters. One of the reason I like audio edition is because it give me someone to read the book with and I can also do my cooking and cleaning while listening. If I miss something I can repeat it immediately. :)

What did you like best about this story?

Neta demonstrates the necessity of older Christians to be walk along side new converts who are full of the joy of the LORD. Too often churches can be too set in its ways of doing things to be patient and open.On the other side new converts need to listen before running over others in their enthusiasm.

Which character as performed by Jackie Schlicher was your favorite?

Kat was my favorite because she is impulsive like myself (as a young woman).

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I wanted to savor it. Neta and Dave challenged me the reader to take a self inventory. I have read it three times.

Publisher's Summary:

Reece stood and faced the group. "Every now and then we get a break from reality. A glimpse into the other world that is more real than the reality we live in 99 percent of our days. The Bible is about a world of demons and angels and great evil and even greater glory. A world the prophets saw; the world Enoch and Elijah and Paul and John the apostle all saw. A world that is all around us in every moment if we would have eyes to see and ears to hear."

What if you could travel inside another persons soul? To battle for them. To be part of Jesus healing their deepest wounds.Thirty years ago thats exactly what Reece Roth did. Until tragedy shattered his life and ripped away his destiny.

Now God has drawn Reece out of the shadows to fulfill a prophecy spoken over him three decades ago. A prophecy about four warriors with the potential to change the world...if Reece will face his deepest regret and train them. They gather at a secluded and mysterious ranch deep in the mountains of Colorado, where they will learn to see the spiritual world around them with stunning clarity. And how to step into the supernatural as powerfully as anyone in the Bible did.

The four have a destiny to battle for a freedom even Reece doesnt fully fathom. But they have an enemy hell-bent on destroying them as and he'll stop at nothing to keep them from their quest for true freedom and the coming battle of souls.

Members Reviews:

Not for me, but I loved his other books

I anxiously awaited the release of this book. I've listened to all of Mr. Rubart's other books, with Rooms being my favorite. I love hearing Mr. Rubart narrate his own books. I think he does a great job!

I was disappointed in this book. It is about spiritual warfare, but it goes to a level that is beyond my comfort zone or doctrinal beliefs. Mr. Rubart did try to use scripture throughout the book to back up the plot, but it didn't work for me because I felt that they were taken out of context. After listening to the author's note at the end of the book, I understand why he did things as he did in his book. He made some valid points about how numbed or blinded we are in today's society towards the spiritual stuff going on around us. I just didn't like how he chose to manifest that awareness in this book. His characters travel into people's souls. Now, they were there to do good, but I felt that what they were doing was part of the Holy Spirit's job.

I would suspect that if you are a person who liked "The Shack" you will probably like this book. I hated "The Shack" so much that I refused to finish it. I won't be listening to any more books in this series. The topic presented as it was just doesn't interest me.

GREAT STORY

Another story they gets hard to leave, just want to stay with it until it's over.

Second reading...wow!

I actually listened to James read it this time, and it was even better than the first time! It awakens my Spirit! Thank you for taking the time to read it! I listen to audio books often, and I love that it was actually your voice!

Very thought provoking!

this book was right up there with Frank Perreti's works! Reminds us that what we see is not all there is. The spiritual side of us and this world is very much alive in each of us and around us.

Excellent conclusion to this series!

I really enjoyed reading this book and the entire Kentucky Brothers series. I love how we are able to follow the characters from the other books.

horrible narrator

I wish I'd read the other review. I now remember listening to another book this narrator narrated and it was also very I unenjoyable. This narrator mispronounced so many words it made me cringe. I don't know what the publisher was thinking.

Good story -- terrible reader

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I don't know when I have heard a more affected and stilted style of reading. What was the publisher thinking? I wanted to continue but stopped halfway thought because it was so unenjoyable as it was performed. It was just so off!

Agonizing narration

What did you like best about Inescapable? What did you like least?

Great story, but the whining voices of the narration were painfully awful. In particular, the child, who never spoke in a normal tone of voice, but most character's voices were loud and whiney. Unfortunately, even though I'd love to 'read' Book 2, I will not purchase it if this same narrator is reading the story. I thought perhaps it was just me and so passed it on without comment -alas they found the same thing.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brooke Sanford Heldman?

Anyone

Amazing

Really well developed characters, LOTS of plot twists, Performance was best I have come across so far! Very well done!

A decent book with horrible narration

I cringed as I listened to most of this book. One of the worst narration ever. All the female parts were bad, the male parts were a little more tolerable. I normally just buy Audiblebooks if I like the story line, I'm now going to make sure I listen first before purchasing.

entertaining

Not as suspenseful as I was hoping for, still kept my attention though. the narrator was decent..

a couple places maybe a little overboard/dramatic. overall, pretty good

LOVED THE STORY

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

I don't read too much, so I have to say always

What other book might you compare Inescapable to and why?

DNA

What three words best describe Brooke Sanford Heldmans performance?

More like a child than a woman at the end.

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

no

Any additional comments?

Liked the story, not so much the narration
