Publisher's Summary:

Where had everything gone wrong?

Russ Kildare faces the harsh realities of a life turned on end after his college sweetheart - the woman who taught him to overcome the dyslexia that got him kicked out of seminary - is murdered. His grief and anger dictate his decision process and destroy his family.

In this true story, Russ must confront the murderer, Robert Williams, and decide whether to forgive, condemn, or to minister. The clock is ticking, as Williams is scheduled to die in Nebraska's electric chair. His decision will force him to face the demons of his own past, and the resulting inner journey will either destroy him or leave him forever changed.

Critic Reviews:

"Walk Me Home is a big-hearted story, told with clarity and adroitness, so perfectly capturing the essence of Nebraska from 1969 onward. I saw my childhood flash before my eyes." (Harley Jane Kozak, two-time winner of the Nebraska Book Award)

Members Reviews:

Very interesting. The trials and triumphs of life. I am going to read it again!

This was definitely the most intriguing book I've read in a long time. After about 2 chapters I was ready to put it down, but I persevered, and now I'm glad I did. This is a human drama that happens too frequently. The author must have been close to there to be able to write with such clarity and ethos. To say I enjoyed it, yes but it upset me that I could just envision the whole story, and I felt their loneliness, and helplessness. I kep reading hoping that it would get better, I can't say any more,.

Fascinating examination of real people surviving a horrible tragedy

Walk Me Home is an insightful look into a real-life tragedy. As Russ Kildare learns to deal with his dyslexia, he grows ever closer to Cathy, a fellow student at the University of Nebraska. Unfortunately, Cathy becomes the victim of a horrible crime, and we are with Russ as he works through his anger and his grief to find forgiveness for the man who took Cathy away from him. The first part of the book is a study in getting to know Russ better so we can understand his actions later. I rate this a 4.5 stars, rounding up because Ms. Kovanda's writing feels like a friend telling a fascinating story.

A Real ManâImperfect

Kovanda knocks it out of the park as always. This man is so many thingsâa priest, a soldier, a cop... but he is also a man who makes mistakes. He is a real man, imperfect and unpolished. But yet, he is still a man who loves one woman to the end. This is a moving story, beautifully written.

Five Stars

It was an easy read and kept you interested cover to cover.

Lisa Kovanda does it again!

Sometimes you try to do everything right and it just turns out completely wrong. Russ Kildare knows that only too well that. Decisions he made in his stormy youth follows him through his life and punch him in the stomach every once in a while. As I read, there were so many times I just shook my head and thought "Oh no. This can't happen." But it does. It really does...and it makes the reader wonder what's around the bend. What more can happen?

This well crafted story is laced with emotions ranging from anger to pathos,. As if that isn't enough, there's a whole lot of soul searching going on. I found myself wondering "What would I do if I were in his shoes?" I don't honestly know if I would be as noble.

Title: Cleft of the Rock

Author: Frances Smith, Mark Smith

Narrator: Frances Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-21-15

Publisher: Mark and Frances Smith

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Religious Figures

Publisher's Summary:

Mark Smith thought he'd been called to mission work, to serve God in Nome, Alaska. He sold his car to buy a one-way plane ticket, dropped out of college, gave up his campus housing, and quit his job. Then, when his plane landed in Nome, he discovered the state had pulled the funding for the job he'd been offered.

Six thousand miles from home, with everything he owned in his pockets, he was filled with a blinding anger and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. Desperate for answers from God, he stormed into the hills surrounding Nome. Soon he was six miles from town, atop Anvil Mountain--the highest peak in the area--and facing a strong storm blowing in from the north. He was clad in only the jeans, sneakers, and thin, long-sleeved shirt he'd worn on the plane, facing pelted by sleet and gusts of wind and freezing rain, his clothes frozen to his body and his tears to his face.

Knowing he was in serious trouble, he crawled into the only space available to get out of the wind--a cleft below the anvil formation in Anvil Rock. Too cold even to pray, he squeezed as far up into the rock as he could and passed out.

The cleft of the rock became a powerful metaphor for God's protection and the fruitful ministry he would plant in this rugged terrain with temperatures reaching forty below zero. Join Mark as he hunts with a dog team, ice fishes through the frozen Bering Sea, builds a church from the ground up, and finds ways to minister to the natives while growing spiritually in ways he never could have imagined.

Members Reviews:

great narrative, poor narration

so disappointed to realize that this beautiful story was, at times, impossible to decipher. the narrator was not trained in enunciation nor was she careful with inflection of her voice. U can clearly hear pages turning, background noises, and the narrator swallowing her saliva.

Title: The Autobiography of St. Ignatius Loyola

Author: Ignatius Loyola

Narrator: Phil Chenevert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-08-15

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Religious Figures

Publisher's Summary:

This account of the life of St. Ignatius, dictated by himself to Father Gonzalez, is a most valuable record of the great Founder of the Society of Jesus. It, more than any other work, gives an insight into the spiritual life of St. Ignatius. Few works in ascetical literature, except the writings of St. Teresa and St. Augustine, impart such a knowledge of the soul.The saint in his narrative always refers to himself in the third person, and this mode of speech has here been retained. Many persons who have neither the time, nor, perhaps, the inclination, to read larger works, will read, we trust, with pleasure and profit this autobiography. Ignatius, as he lay wounded in his brother's house, read the lives of the saints to while away the time. Touched by grace, he cried, "What St. Francis and St. Dominic have done, that, by God's grace, I will do." May this audiobook, in like manner, inspire its listeners with the desire of imitating St. Ignatius. This autobiography is a valuable key for the understanding of his Spiritual Exercises. It was kept in the archives for about 150 years.

An authentic view into the saint's thought. The Blessed Virgin Mary was integral to his sanctity and success.

Anthonly Burrus - God's Apostle of Love

I can verify every word in this book. Pastor Anthony Burrus is a personal friend of mine. I've never met a more loving man in my life. In his mid-late 80s, he has the lifestyle of a man in his 60s. He and his precious wife are excellent examples of Christ's heart!

AMAZING STORY

Absolutely loved this book. I used to work with the author of this book. He is an amazing man. His life is intriguing. He is indeed a winner.

If you would like the know the story of how a man lived ...

Rev. Burrus has written an outstanding book in that it is a microhistory set in the late 20th century about how a man overcame racism, hatred and discrimination with the love of God and the gift of languages. If you struggle with the hatred of other races or have bitterness about how you have been discriminated against, this book is for you. If you would like the know the story of how a man lived through rides of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, the dust bowl and the black panthers of L.A., this book is for you.

Title: Saxum

Subtitle: The Life of Alvaro del Portillo

Author: John F. Coverdale

Narrator: Elliott Bales

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-24-14

Publisher: John Coverdale

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Religious Figures

Publisher's Summary:

Saxum - the Latin word means rock - is a term that St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, sometimes used in letters to Alvaro del Portillo to describe him. Don Alvaro, as he came to be known, was for many years the founder's closest associate as well as his successor and first Prelate of Opus Dei after it became a personal prelature-a foundational rock for this dynamic international Catholic group devoted to promoting sanctity in ordinary life.

Written in anticipation of Bishop del Portillo's September 2014 beatification - his official recognition by the Church as "blessed" and a stage on the way to his possible canonization as a saint-the book is a fact-filled biography set against the background of historic events like the Spanish Civil War and Vatican Council II. It depicts a person of powerful integrity and conviction who set aside a promising engineering career to collaborate with the founder of Opus Dei. Don Alvaro emerges in these pages as a tower of strength, reliability, and good humor in the face of a host of threats and challenges that might well have defeated a lesser man.

John Coverdale, an attorney and historian, is the author of two other books detailing the early days of Opus Dei- Uncommon Faith, about St. Josemaria and his companions during and shortly after the civil war in Spain, and Putting Down Roots, about Father Joseph Muzquiz, along with Alvaro del Portillo one of Opus Dei's first priests, who played a key role in introducing it in the United States.

Publisher's Summary:

The third Rebbe of Lubavitch, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, known as the "Tzemach Tzedek", served as a guiding light for the broad spectrum of Russian Jewry during the years 1828-1866. Though renowned for his superb Torah scholarship, the Tzemach Tzedek`s first and foremost role was that of a leader serving during a particularly trying time in our history.

This fascinating collection of stories and anecdotes, now available in English, vividly depicts the Rebbe`s tremendous impact on all facets of Jewish religious life, and the particular attention given to the most humble and downtrodden.
