Another ESCELLENT book by Eric Metaxas

Revisado: 04-30-19

I started with his book "Amazing Grace" about William Wilberforce and found myself wanting to continue on as if I had walked along side Wilberforce, walking as his friend and Christian sister. What a man. Once again, in this book on Bonhoeffer, I find myself so grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside another brother so strong and able, so humble and caring. If these two men do not hear the words "well done, good and faithful servant," no one will. Eric Metaxas has done something so astounding in capturing the days, times and thoughts and actions of two great men of God. We are blessed the Lord has given him such a gift. I am now looking forward to hearing his other works. The reading of this book was EXCEPTIONAL and I really mean that word. Such a talent is this narrator. I will be looking for his performances of other books as well. I thank the Lord to also see in this story there were many, many men and women of great character at a time in Germany's most dark moment who desired to stand for righteousness. Too often I ask "how could a Christian nation allow a Hitler?" Metaxas shows how this can happen and also show the Lord ALWAYS has a remnant who will not bow the knee to evil. I pray I can be counted among them as the days shorten before the return of the Lord.

Outstanding

Outstanding... I could write so much but will suffice to say the write did an outstanding job of bringing to life the story of a remarkable man. Well worth the read (or listen!) Honestly makes me want to listen again. Makes me want to watch the movie again with same title. What a man and how we need to pray for the men and women of our current time who have the same attitude about the value of life and how Christianity, when Biblical Christianity is put in practice, can change the world.

Rosamund Pike does an excellent job bringing this story to life.

What else can be said since Pride and Prejudice is Pride and Prejudice!

great read

the narrator did great but I would have much preferred to hear author read his book or someone who sounded more like him. silly I know, but found, in this case, the british accent distracting. found myself trying to hear author's voice all of the time

What made the experience of listening to Against All Odds the most enjoyable?

Probably how he got through his struggles and overcame / the christian message.

What did you like best about this story?

The action and how he became a world karate champion.

What aspect of Michael Norris’s performance would you have changed?

He needed more expression in his voice kind of sounded like a robot.

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

Not really it was really good all over. If there was it's probably the way God helped him overcome the sin in his life.
