Critic Reviews:

"...for any student of business or technology, Dealers of Lightning offers a gem of a story that has never before been so well told." (The New York Times Book Review)

Members Reviews:

A very good companion to the book ...

This title is a recording of a teaching seminar that Os gave using the same material in his book. The result is that listening provided a great review for me (which is just what I wanted) --but in my opinion, not a substitue for reading the newly revised text. Worth the purchase, however.

Great audible title

Loved the book and this audible version was great.

Mis-representation of the book

This audio book mis-represents itself as the whole book. I realized that it is only 4 chapters.

I do not want only the 4 chapters but the whole book. Who buys only the first four chapters of a book?

Really helpful guidance

This is a really helpful book for understanding God's call in your life. It seems to be a recording of a seminar given by the author on the topic of God's calling in the life of a believer. Part of the book is a question and answer session.

The only drawback to the performance is that it sounds like this recording was originally performed on cassette tapes and then transferred to digital media. I didn't take any stars away for the performance because the author spoke with so much passion on the subject that it more than made up for the lack of quality recording.

I thought the subject matter was treated comprehensively without dragging it out too much (I find that many books about theology have a tendency to be too long).

My only caveat would be that the author almost seems to imply in certain areas of the book that God has no real opinion as to the individual choices made in one's life as long as one believes that he/she is serving God in that choice. I'm not certain that I believe that. Perhaps that is not what the author meant when he used the parable of the three talents to say that God doesn't "micromanage" when he gives people different abilities and resources - He simply expects them to make the most of them. I've always understood that God does, in fact, want to micromanage us if only we will let Him, because after all, He is the best manager - be it micro or macro - so He would have the best ideas on how to use the abilities and resources that He gave to us.

Apart from that one isssue, which is really just a point that makes me pause and think (and isn't that what we want from books about God anyway?) I found this book to be very helpful in my search to understand what God wants from my life.

VERY Abridged!

A good summary of the book by the same name, but let the buyer beware. This is a recording of a set of talks, not the typical studio recording that one expects from Audible. The sound quality reflects this, and portions of the talk include Questions & Answers from the audience--not something I expected.

Title: Amazing Grace

Subtitle: A Vocabulary of Faith

Author: Kathleen Norris

Narrator: Debra Winger

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-15-99

Publisher: Phoenix Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

When poet Kathleen Norris was a child, the words judgment, prayer, salvation, sinner, and even Christ all formed what she calls religion's "scary vocabulary" - words that intimidate and alienate people from their faith. As an adult, Norris set out to reclaim her religion, redefining these words using her own experience. In Amazing Grace, she shares her wisdom, challenges our fear of difficult theological ideas, and offers an illuminating perspective on the vocabulary of faith.

The most in depth teaching concerning the Kingdom

I love all the books I've read so far by Bro. Myles Munroe this one is by far the most territory I've seen covered in one book concerning the kingdom message and very precise and accurate as well a lot of books out there are not so this is a must read for anyone ready to go all the way in their relationship with God.

I found it easy to continue reading with the audio

I found the book easier to read while listening to the audio book app. I listened to the story as I read and was able to complete the book within hours, in addition to taking time to write down personal notes. This is an amazing book filled with truth, knowledge, understanding of God's Word through the interpretation of the Holy Spirit, and most importantly the Word of God is all throughout this book. I recommend this book along with the audio app for anyone that struggles with time to sit down and read lengthy chapters. If you're truly seeking as Matthew 6:33 states, you will be pleased in your purchase of this book as you begin or continue seeking to understand the truth about the Kingdom of God. May your hearts and minds be blessed as mine have.

Life Changing

This book defines the purpose and will of mankind. Through this you will do the answers to life's basic questions.

Excellent book

Must read for anyone wanting power in life. Excellent author. The flow is wonderful. I wish he was still here so I could have listened to him live!

Title: Finding God in the Shack

Author: Roger E. Olson

Narrator: Roger Mueller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-09

Publisher: Oasis Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

This most unlikely of stories, as told in William Young's The Shack, has become a runaway best seller and it is easy to see why. The book brings us on a redemptive journey through the shacks of deepest pain and suffering in our lives, guided by the triune God of Christian faith.

Aware both of the excitement and uncertainty generated by The Shack, theologian Randal Rauser takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the pages of the story. In successive chapters he explores many of the books complex and controversial issues. Through these chapters Rauser offers an honest and illuminating discussion which opens up a new depth to the conversation while providing the reader with new opportunities for Finding God in The Shack.

Members Reviews:

Interesting addition to the Shack

I like to read books that makes me think and this book gave me many ideas. Often I was quite surprised what Mr Olson said about the Shack, but many times he has good Biblical reasons behind what he is saying. This kind of book could be quite heavy and boring, but I think it is interesting and I wanted to listen it quickly, there was often interesting surprises behind a corner.

I must say there is things I don't agree with Mr Olson, but even in those points he has probably better arguments than me.

Worth listening to

I liked how it broke down the book the book the shack. And you differently want to read the shack first like he says.

God is Great

By Barbara

I love listing to it over and over again--I learned a lot from this Audio

It will bring you closer and closer to God

Theology 101 relative to The Shack

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Way too long.

Which character as performed by Roger Mueller was your favorite?

There are no characters. It is a commentary

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Not movie material.

Any additional comments?

This is a theological review of 'The Shack'. I found it somewhat informative and very tedious. It is like the NBC commentary after a political speech telling you what you should really think/believe about the speech you just listened to. It seems that 'The Shack' is a book that is best left between you and God. To pray and meditate over for the edification of Christ in your own heart. This book is preachy and de-personalized 'The Shack' for me. It is not clear to me why the author felt the need to write 'Finding God in the Shack'.

Anointed Work

Do yourself a favor, read the book or listen to the disc. It is available at iTunes, Amazon and Audible.com

If you have prayed and feel like God isn't listening, checkout the following chapters: 9. Believers Authority and 10. Better way to Pray.

I believe you will be blessed if after you read or listen, you are careful to follow his example. It took a long time for me to understand the simple mistakes I was making on my own as a new believer, mostly because I wasn't giving the Holy Spirit a chance to bless me with the wisdom I asked for. This information would have saved me a lot of time back then.

Weather the impatience of beginners or the habits of more mature Christians; if you believe your prayers aren't being answered give this book or cd a try. It comes right from the Word.

Give Audible.com a try. This narrator is outstanding and somehow listening for me is not only soothing, it always makes me feel blessed.

Title: Transformational Church

Subtitle: Creating a New Scorecard for Congregations

Author: Ed Stetzer, Thom Rainer

Narrator: John Lescault

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-06-10

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Churches committed to following Christ's example want this world changed for the sake of eternity. While the supernatural piece of making that happen goes without saying, how does a body of believers do its part to be in that "sweet spot" where true spiritual transformation occurs?

In Transformational Church, best-selling research authors Ed Stetzer and Thom S. Rainer survey 50,000 churchesthen narrow the scope down to 500 congregationsfor a qualitative answer.

Their book, the most comprehensive study of the modern American church to date, contains a wealth of indispensable new data, nuanced insights, and how-to guidance, all centered on this key finding: "Transformational churches make disciples whose lives are being transformed by the gospel, so that people engage the culture around them for its ultimate transformation. Deeply committed to the essential foundations of discipleship (worship, community, and mission), transformational churches practice their faith and make disciples through vibrant leadership, prayerful dependence upon God, and relational intentionality. And they do so paying mind to their unique context and with a missionary mindset."

Members Reviews:

Great Content Bad Narrator

I have listened to some pretty dull books on audible that I really enjoyed because the narrator drew me into the content. This is not one of those books. I found the content incredible, but I had a terrible time listening because I felt like the narrator was droning on and on. Please read this book, its really great, just not a great listen.

Great Information and...

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

I think the other reviews are way too harsh on the reader. It's not like we can't hear 5 minutes of the audio before purchasing. I am enjoying the book at 1.25 speed and sometimes 1.5 speed-

A Book than can change how you do church

This book will change how you do church. But as stated in a previous review the points the authors make are based upon their survey data on the issues. They rarely if ever present points to prove their data. In paper form that would be fine. In audio form it is a little harder.

I kept wanting them to throw in some proof points to show WHY the data says what is says. Since I already agreed with the points of this book it didn't give me a lot of new information. However, one section that is very helpful are the real life examples.

For each point examples of a specific church are given to show what it looks like in action. But to me most people who read this book will already have their own thoughts on how churches will be successful. Will surveys alone convince them to change their minds on these issues? I think no.

Maybe you are a person who is new to church or a student looking to start to build your knowledge of church ministry and philosophy to me this is where the book shines. This would be an excellent book for a class on church growth or church philosophy where the ideas could be dissected and discussed. Do these ideas work? Yes, according to the data. But another Audible book I read about change, tells me data alone does mean change will happen.

I would also echo that the reader is very bad, almost hard to listen to.

bad narrator

the book was good but the narrator is horrible he will put you to sleep

Short and to the point!

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

Yes

What about Paul Michaels performance did you like?

He makes a great point with a tough subject. The end of the day God gave it to us so we need to obey and tithe. This book will help put things into perspective if you are struggling with giving. It's chocked full of great examples and does not follow prosperity teaching "If you give you will be rich". Scriptually based

Life changing!

Randy Alcorn is focused like a laser. The Treasure Principle is amazingly simple. Where have these truths been buried? Must listen.

Best Retirement Plan Ever!!!

Most people plan financially for earthly retirement but rarely do people plan for eternal retirement. Heaven has the greatest return one could ever hope for. This book has made it very clear to me on how to invest my money wisely. I love this book!!! And I'm so grateful that my friend suggested it to me!!!

Valuable Truth

Enjoyed this book. Great stories and scripture references! This book can really change your mindset on giving! Glad I read it!

Title: The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind

Author: Mark A. Noll

Narrator: Trevor Thompson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-26-17

Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 23 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

"The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind." So begins this award-winning intellectual history and critique of the evangelical movement by one of evangelicalism's most respected historians.

Unsparing in his judgment, Mark Noll ask why the largest single group of religious Americans - who enjoy increasing wealth, status, and political influence - have contributed so little to rigorous intellectual scholarship in North America. In nourishing believers in the simple truths of the gospel, why have evangelicals failed at sustaining a serious intellectual life and abandoned the universities, the arts, and other realms of "high" culture?

Noll is probing and forthright in his analysis of how this situation came about, but he doesn't end there. Challenging the evangelical community, he sets out to find, within evangelicalism itself, resources for turning the situation around.

Members Reviews:

Still Relevant. Wonderful narration.

I read this book years ago in seminary. It was compelling then... and now. I loved the chance to revisit old themes and ideas. Mark Noll has captured so much in this book. A classic! It is amazing how ideas transcend time. The narration was spot-on. Trevor Thompson did a great job.

Explains the Evangelical World.

Second "read." It explains so much about what has happened to evangelical Christianity. Worth listening to again. Solid narration by Trevor Thompson. Recommended!

Still a valuable book for Evangelicals to read

Did Trevor Thompson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Reader was so-so. He certainly mispronounced some names, at least as far as I could tell.

Any additional comments?

Many of Noll's criticisms of Evangelical (stipulated components of Evangelicalism: biblicism, conversionism, & activism) thought life are spot on. This book is plenty convicting (and, I think, inspiring/encouraging) even if there are quibbles with some of his criticisms. Particularly powerful are Noll's thoughts on the ways Evangelicalism has "teamed up with" or drawn on Enlightenment goals and methods and Americanism. Specifically, he describes the Evangelical dependence upon 19th-century Enlightenment thought (Scottish Common Sense Realism) and shows some of the limitations of that dependence. Noll demonstrates Jonathan Edwards's Christian stand against the overwhelming tide of Enlightement thought (though not so much in method). Finally, to quote James Brown, on the good foot, his criticisms about the "inductive" method of Bible study were shown to have roots in Enlightenment empiricism. I've long been dubious about "inductive" methods. All this was quite helpful and clarifying to me. Thanks, Dr. Noll.

Interestingly, Noll notes many contributions to Evangelical thought from outside Evangelicalism. Dutch Calvinism, Lutheranism, Anabaptism, Roman Catholicism, mainline Protestantism, and a little bit of Eastern Orthodoxy. He mentions Theonomy / Reconstructionism, noting that it tends toward Libertarianism. He hardly notices Francis Schaeffer, but then again, Schaeffer is was self-consciously dedicated to Christian intellectual enterprise.

Less edifying were Noll's criticisms about Evangelicals and scientific thought.

Blessing of the Heart

Well it took me a while to finish, but through all this lesson I really learned a lot. As a worshiper in the Choir it brought me a lot of joy because as I would sing on Sundays I felt myself singing louder & giving more of myself to God. I constantly felt broken in His presence. Thank you for this study, I'll will keep coming back to it and teaching it to others.. Esmi Castro

Blessed by message

He goes in-depth about intimacy with God. How our daily lives should emulate our relationship with God. Worshipping Yahweh not just when we attend church. We've to exalt God in everything we do, regardless of where we're, and also making time for God and not giving Him our "leftovers."

I am glad I purchased this audio book. I come away with a deeper understanding of what it means to worship Yahweh! I pray He gives me the grace and blessing to make Him my number one priority and not give Him "leftover" attention or worship him half-heartedly.
