A book for every Christian

God made me pick up underwear is an excellent book that every Christian should read. Orlando does a great job taking us through his faith walk and giving very practical and inspiring advice that will help anyone who is struggling or is "on the fence". Some people just have a way of delivering practical but solid advice for everyday living such as family relationships with the wife and children. Orlando delivers again and again in this book. As he says in the line of the book that spoke to me the most, "So our goal should not be to seek the blessings of God but the God of blessings." I highly recommend this book to anyone that is seeking and may the God of blessings help you in your faith journey.

Title: I See That You Are Down But When Are You Going to Get Up?

Author: Shawn G. McDowell

Narrator: John Lamberti

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-15-10

Publisher: Hudson Audio Publishing

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

"I See That You Are Down, But When Are You Going to Get Up? chronicles the trials and tribulations I encountered during my transition from boyhood to man-hood, through the transformative powers of Christ and the Holy Spirit within us all. We are far more than our parental DNA, and far greater than the product of our environment. We have far more in common within the human experience than we are willing to accept. The three primary causes of conflict chronicles throughout history have been based upon racial division, religious intolerance, and those who seek to control the resources of this planet God created for us all to share. Unless we all strive to live a balanced life whereby our mind, body, and spirit work in unison to bring forth inner peace, inner turmoil will bring forth external conflict into our environment."

A True Blessing

I learned of Mr. McDowell through an internet radio medium in 2008. To say the man is wise, would be a vast understatement. This book chronicles the life of Shawn McDowell, but its stories and most definitely its messages are true of/for many. The book is more vivid than most movies, taking you through ups and downs, but it never strays from the messages. You'll laugh, you'll be shocked, but most importantly you will THINK. This is one of the few books I've read that I can honestly say changed my life. If you want to be blessed with an awesome reading experience, this is a must buy.

Great Real-Life Inspiration!

You May Be Down asks the real-life everyday questions that all of us grapple with as we grow up and grow toward our own understanding of the world and our place in it. AND it provides the answers in personal stories that are sensitive, observant, and self-aware. In a voice that is both compassionate and authoritative, the author clearly articulates the power of Life to teach us all the lessons we need to learn! This is a stunning true-life coming of age story coupled with profound philosophical guidance on a vast array of life issues: home, family, education, parenthood, poverty, sex, drugs, anger, social ills, friends, history, abandonment, hypocrisy, identity, and more. Moving past our indoctrination into our personal power is the deep message of this excellent and inspiring book. To know this much about our own life experience and to tell its meaning this well is truly the next step of spiritual evolution for the human race. Mr. McDowell shows us in a powerful way how to break through to the "other side" of our own limitations and fears.

Shawn is an incredibly talented individual.

Shawn shares his experience's with the reader in a way that makes you feel as if he is talking with you face to face.

His writing this book has shown me the values in my life that I had overlooked and needed to pay more attention to.

Title: A Lion Called Christian

Author: Anthony Bourke, John Rendall

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

A Lion Called Christian relates how Anthony Ace Bourke and John Rendall visited London from Australia in 1969 and bought a boisterous lion cub in Harrods.

For a while, the three of them lived together as flatmates on the Kings Road, Chelsea, where Christian became a local celebrity.

But he was growing up, fast, and even the church garden in which he exercised was becoming too small for him.

How could Ace and John avoid incarcerating him in a zoo for the rest of his life? Originally published in 1971, A Lion Called Christian has been fully revised and updated.

Members Reviews:

If you liked 'Born Wild', download this.

Having learned about Christian originally in 'Born Wild', 'A Lion Called Christian' tells his full story.

Although it is a relatively short book, it's a tremendous companion to Tony Fitzjohns excellent 'Born Wild', and well worth the download.

However, during John Lees narration his accent seemed to drift out of English into a quasi-Australian accent early in the book, and later had elements of a South African pronunciation with selected words. Despite this, if you persevere through the first couple of chapters his accent thankfully settles down. As a result, I've marked the performance down. I will add that this does not detract from the overall story though.

Had the performance been better, it would have been a 5 star review all round.

In summary, if you enjoy anything safari / African / wildlife related, you will definitely enjoy this.

Title: From Behind the Veil

Subtitle: A Hijabi's Journey to Happiness

Author: Farheen Khan

Narrator: Farheen Khan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-10

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Farheen Khan was the victim of an Islamophobic attack by a stranger in a residential apartment building in Toronto. She managed to elude her attacker, but the assault on her body had only just begun. For fear of dishonoring her family in the South Asian and Muslim community, Farheen didnt report the incident. Internalizing this experience so deeply sent her body into an allergic overdrive, resulting in fatal anaphylactic shock.

Being unable to consume entire food groups gave her an insight into how a third of the people on earth are unable to eat for a very different reasonpoverty and food insecurity. Despite her allergies, Farheen worked tirelessly to make a difference locally on building the foundation for the Muslim social-services sector in her city. From the first lick of soy pudding, to despair and back again, she realized that not only can we not fight adversity alonewe are not expected to.

This is an honest and candid story about accepting the angels that come in and out of our lives when we need them the most, to show us to ourselves as a reflective surface on a dirty wall. Sometimes being swept away by a giant wave beyond our understanding can take us to beaches we never knew existed; and in losing control, we can often gain control of who we are and what we are really about. Today, cured of 95 percent of her allergies, Farheen has founded and presides over several non-profit organizations to help relieve poverty.

Title: Letters from the Trenches

Author: Bill Lamin

Narrator: Geoff Annis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-10

Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Harry Lamin was born in Derbyshire in 1877 and left school at 13 to work in the lace industry. But by December 1916 he had been conscripted into the 9th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment, and sent to war. Harry's letters home to his family describe the conflict with a poignant immediacy, even 90+ years on, detailing everything from the action in battle to the often amusing incidents of life amongst his comrades.

Throughout the letters, Harry's tone is unwaveringly stoical, uncomplaining and good-humoured. "Letters from the Trenches" is a fitting tribute to the unsung heroes of the Great War who fought and endured and returned home, and the one in six who did not. The letters describe the war through the eyes of those who really lived it, bringing the horrors and triumphs to life for the 21st-century listener.

Members Reviews:

A real account of a real person

This is an account of one man's experiences during the extraordinary events of the World War 1 trenches. Within minutes of starting to listen, you will feel that you know the subject, Harry.

This is NOT a history book. This is an engaging personal account of a Private soldier.

Geoff Annis has pitched his reading perfectly. He effortlessly adopts the correct east midlands accent when reading Harry's letters, returning to a simple South Yorkshire style for the narration - absolutely perfect.

Letters from The Trenches

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

Extremely long winded and doesnt translate to an audio book. I was really disappointed. The narration is annoying as previously pointed by other reviewers. The letters themselves are fairly nondescript and repetitious, mainly concentrating on menial matters such as the weather and pay. I feel as the story is written by the grandson of the letter writer, it is more of a personal homage by Grandson to Grandfather. The author makes a few interesting technical points such as that General Douglas Haig commander in chief of the British Forces never actually visited the troops once during this tenure on the front line and was known as the eternal optimist as a whole generation of young innocent men were slain. This becomes fairly evident from the description of the letters, however, as was the norm of the day the front line private Harry Laplin never questions the futility of the tactics of this superiors. I would absolutely recommend " The Reluctant Tommy " by Ronald Skirth. Very moving and fair more detailed.

What was most disappointing about Bill Lamins story?

Tedious and the letters in questions are extremely repetitive never actually giving much detail.

Any additional comments?

More of an educational text to University students working on a thesis.

Dissapointing

Whilst the write up was promising - I was a little dissapointed by this. Not by the content in particular - just the narrator. When listening to something, it is important to have a voice that is engaging. I found the narrator to drone a little and there were parts of this reading that were incredibly repetative.

Members Reviews:

Great advice for teenagers and young adults!!!

This book is filled with great advice for young adults about being successful in life. It is tied tightly by the author to his Catholic religious beliefs, which are much different from mine. But, that doesn't distract from the fundamental messages that everyone should have the opportunity to know. It is very well-written and easy to read.

Title: Just One More Day

Author: Susan Lewis

Narrator: Coleen Prendergast

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-21-10

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

In 1960s Bristol, a family is overshadowed by tragedy.

While Susan, a typically feisty seven-year-old, is busy being brave, her mother, Eddress, is struggling for courage. Though bound by an indestructible love, their journey through a world that is darkening with tragedy is fraught with the kind of misunderstandings that bring as much laughter as pain, and as many dreams as nightmares.

How does a child cope when faced with a wall of adult secrets? What does a mother do when her biggest fear starts to become a reality? Because it's the Sixties, and because it's shameful to own up to feelings, Eddress tries to deny the truth, while Susan creates a world that will never allow her mother to leave.

Set in a world where a fridge is a luxury, cars have starting handles, and where bingo and coupons bring in the little extras, Just One More Day is a deeply moving true-life account, told by mother and daughter, of how the spectre of death moved into their family, and how hard they tried to pretend it wasn't there.

Members Reviews:

A real tear-jerker

This is based on a true story and it has that ring of truth all through it. It is sensitively read by Colleen Prendergast and the compelling story grabs at your heartstrings right to the end.

amazing book so thought provoking

This is a very moving book its shows how ignorant people were if they didn't understand something they didn't ask for it to be explained. the just seemed to expect it to get better. This book shows how things have changed and for the better so that now people are more likely to question what is being done to them not Just blindly accept it.
