Wonderful storytelling!

I felt like I got to know these young men and their coaches first hand. This one is worth listening to several times more.

Wonderful Narration!!!

Revisado: 01-29-24

Exciting story. Not a dull moment. Not preachy either. I doubt that any professional reader could read this book as well as the author. His reading put me in the heads of the characters.

Don’t miss this one!

Revisado: 08-16-22

I almost didn’t try this book after so many negative reviews on the narrator. I’ve had books spoiled for me by a bad reading before. However, that was not the case with this book. Yes, the narrator has a stiff, staccato cadence that irritates some, but I found it to be a good match for the story and it’s setting. The book is well written, the plot intriguing, and the ending satisfying. In a couple or more months, I’ll be listening to it again.

A PAGE TURNER!

Very fast moving and exciting. Would make a good action movie. Ended too abruptly for me but then sometimes details can retract.

It answers the question!

Revisado: 10-01-16

We traveled to Israel 3 weeks ago and were impressed with the safety, serenity, and joy of the Jewish people, in spite of being surrounded by hostile countries and having their enemies live among them also. We walked through all the quarters of the Old City: Armenian, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. The differences between them is stark. Where were we welcomed? Where did we feel safe? Only in the Jewish quarter. We came home with the nagging question, "Why are they so hated?" Finally moved to find out, we listened to this book. The research that went into it is evident. Names, places, dates, circumstances, and outcomes are laid out and easily understood. The narration is dry but does the job. This isn't a novel, after all.

God prepares the way.

Revisado: 07-24-16

An encouraging story for all of us who struggle with sharing the gospel due to fear or shame or lack of knowing how to even start. If God calls, He also equips. And He goes before us to prepare the way. We just have to be willing to go in faith. May He embolden us all for His glory.

Delightful!

Revisado: 05-14-16

I love a book that can make me laugh out loud. They are few and far between and are so very special. A great cast of characters and a hero that changes the people around him by his affable, non-judgmental attitude. The farcical last few chapters were simply hilarious.

Couldn't put it down.

Exciting stuff. It made me look at current events in a new light, i.e., it made sense of current events in the Middle East. You can have peace with your enemies. The choices are reconciliation or annihilation. Iran speaks peace and we Westerners think "reconciliation"; but they really mean "annihilation." I was especially intrigued with the fate of Damascus.

Disappointed.

Revisado: 03-15-16

LMB is one of my favorite authors. I had listened to all of Miles several times over, so I could not wait for this one to come out. Her writing style hasn't changed but I did not care for the story itself. I did not get past the first chapter.

This answered many questions.

Revisado: 03-13-16

This book cleared up many misconceptions I had about Muslims and Islam. The disparity between Islam and Christianity were well explained and presented without hostility or agenda.
