A White Pastors Tension

Revisado: 09-13-19

People often say, "You don't know what you don't know"... and in this book... Jemar so clearly unpacks so much that I didn't know.

The early chapters of this book do a GREAT job of staying on point while still diving into details that really do matter. Learning that there were multiple opportunities to "turn this around" wrecked me. But it didn't really hit until Jemar wonderfully unpacked the last century of racism in America, which left me wondering... are we in a moment right now, where we can "turn it around?".

Then the last chapter answered so many questions I had as a white pastor... what in the world can I do?!

Solid start to a series

Revisado: 02-17-19

I was previewing this for my kids.

I LOVED the storyline, character development, and relatability of the characters. I think my kids will connect.

The narration is good, but the sound effects in the background completely take away from a well written book. Tense portions are made a little chaotic with music and sounds that drown out narration.

Hoping it changes in books 2-4.

Overall fun read:)

For the RPG geek inside

Revisado: 02-12-19

I absolutely LOVED playjng MMO games and fell for this series early. So clever and idea and wonderfully written in an engaging & accessible way.

I was worried that “leveling up” would be boring, but even that is read well!

I’d highly suggest this if you are familiar with the MMO RPG world. You’ll love it and be counting days to book 3!

Great Story on Snails Pace

Revisado: 08-23-16

Where does Library of Souls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'd put this near the middle of my library of books to listen to. Kirby Heyborne labors through this book (and the 2nd in the series) at a pace that's difficult to listen to. It's so slow and over dramatized... when he get's into a character who's excited, the yelling becomes overbearing and constantly adjusting the voluming becomes frustrating.

When I switched to listening at a 1.25X pace, the book became new and enjoyable.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Library of Souls?

Family tension always deepens a book, and Ransom does an amazing job of playing the dynamic tension up without going overboard.

A modern ancient adventure

Revisado: 06-19-16

Sometimes you just need a simple read that makes you smile and wonder at the same time. I felt like this book did a amazing job of balancing the adventure and puzzles of a classic mystery with the humor and technology expected in novels today.

Excellently read with wit and inflection at just the right times.

I'd highly suggest this!

SO DRY

Revisado: 11-19-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

i've listened to other "great courses" and really enjoyed them. prof. fears was amazingly dry...

Would you recommend Churchill to your friends? Why or why not?

i would not recommend this course, i'd probably direct people towards a simple biography instead.

How could the performance have been better?

passion about the subject you're teaching is always a plus.

boys reading girls can be funny

What did you love best about The Power of Habit?

The multiple illustrations across so many facets of life makes this books super understandable, even though it's rich in content.

What did you like best about this story?

The flow of this book is great. A thought is brought up and completed well with stories and scientific support.

Have you listened to any of Mike Chamberlain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to him, but I know that when he reads the girl parts, it's hysterical...

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I very much enjoyed listening to how little habits can influence big things, the little wins are bigger than we think.

Any additional comments?

This was an amazingly written and well read book. I'd highly suggest it for anyone... whether they struggle with unwanted habits or are extremely self-disciplined, they'll enjoy the practical nature of this book both individually and in a social context.
