"Unstuck. Unstuck. Unstuck. Unstuck."
Revisado: 04-04-20
I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the last five years. Credibility. Boom.
I was excited after discovering this title because I had found a good, solid, wholesome, scientific, and Biblical "how to" guide on getting yourself up, moving, and generating productivity. However, as I was listening, I quickly became annoyed merely by the number of times the word "unstuck" was used in this book. It's ABSURD! It seemed like not a single synonym was used in its place. And soon enough, it became so prevalent, that all I could hear was the word "unstuck." The word "unstuck" is spoken approximately ten times every minute and a half! Truly, within the first hour of the book I had heard the word "unstuck" approximately 400 times! That, my friends, is a lot. After an hour an a half, I finally said out loud to myself, "If this guy says "unstuck" ten more times within the next 30 seconds, I'm returning this book." And lo and behold, the audio book was returned. I was unwilling to listen to that word 2800 (I didn't actually count, but I am tempted...).
Besides this unignorable oversight, the purpose of this book was clear, and the narration performance was "Pretty good", which is three out of five stars. AKA not the best. His voice was annoying to me and he sounded quite insincere.
I could potentially unwrap a few additional issues I discovered, and although I'm almost certain several more issues would have arisen, I, having only listened to the first hour and a half, don't consider myself qualified to judge this title any further.

We know we need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait upon Him. But it is often a painful, lonely process that takes longer than we want it to. In her classic book Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot candidly shares with you her love story with Jim Elliot as evidence that she has been there. Through letters, diary entries, and memories, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of two young people whose commitment to Christ took priority over their love for each other.

I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the last five years. Credibility. Boom.
I will start with the good. This is an amazing testament of true love. And true love waits. This book is riddled with the honest desires (sometimes to the point of discomfort) of Jim Elliot. Yet he speaks the full truth of what a man desires. Yes, even the intensely sexual desires that God has so beautifully given man. This is only one highlight of this wonderful tale of passion and purity.
However, I must insist that you do not purchase THIS version. The narrator might seem alright on the sample, but in short time, her utterly robotic-like voice rips out nearly all the feelings from the emotion-filled moments. The intonation was frightful and her emphasis were placed so incorrectly that it was Unnerving. Several times I was nearly led to believe that Siri was monologuing the otherwise gorgeous and powerfully romantic accounts of Elisabeth Elliot. I am keeping an eye out for the name Tanya Eby (the narrator) so that I NEVER have to listen to her again. I would have much rather read it by paper; and I HATE reading paperback. In fact, it was such a good book, I will purchase the paperback and read it again just so it isn't undeservingly butchered by Tanya Eby.
In conclusion: Excellent book, Beautiful story, AWFUL narration.
