Acerca de esta escucha
When Methodist minister Harley Camden loses his wife and daughter in a European terrorist attack, he spirals downward into grief and anger. The bishop forces him to move to a tiny church in small-town Occoquan, Virginia, to heal and recover. But all hope for serenity is quickly shattered by the mysterious murder of the daughter of the local Iraqi baker, followed by the threat of an attack by Islamic extremists. Harley tries to build bridges to his neighbors, including Muslims and Coptic Christians, and digs into the history of the ancient Galilean city of Sepphoris to find the secret to survival in a fractured and violent world. Past and present come together in surprising ways as Harley sets out to stop the violence and save his new flock.
City of Peace is a gripping and fast-paced mystery that will engage people politically and spiritually, leaving them with fresh insight into how they can overcome polarizing divisions among people of differing cultures and faiths.

A deeply personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both call home.

When his mother, Barbara, turns seventy, Jedidiah Jenkins is reminded of a sobering truth: Our parents won’t live forever. For years, he and Barbara have talked about taking a trip together, just the two of them. They disagree about politics, about God, about the project of society—disagreements that hurt. But they love thrift stores, they love eating at diners, they love true crime, and they love each other. Jedidiah wants to step into Barbara’s world and get to know her in a way that occasional visits haven’t allowed.

Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life - and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem - and how God can transform everything.

When Pastor Bruce Deel took over the Mission Church in the 30314 zip code of Atlanta, he had orders to shut it down. The church was old and decrepit, and its neighborhood - known as "Better Leave, You Effing Fool", or "the Bluff", for short - had the highest rates of crime, homelessness, and incarceration in Georgia. Expecting his time there to only last six months, Deel was not prepared for what happened next. One Sunday, he was approached by a woman he didn't know. "I've been hooking and stripping for fourteen years," she said. "Can you help me?"

To Chloe’s surprise, feisty Vivi Slidell isn’t the frail retiree Chloe expects - nor is Emerald Cove. It’s less a sleepy fishing village than a panhandle hot spot overrun with land developers and tourists. But it’s a Sea Glass regular who’s mysteriously crossed the cranky Vivi. When their bitter argument comes to a head and he’s found dead behind the bar, guess who’s the number one suspect?

I enjoyed this book!
I had the opportunity to meet the author in East Texas at a Pulpwood Queens Book Club Girlfriend Weekend in January. Being mostly women, I'm sure Henry felt a little overwhelmed, but I believe he enjoyed every minute. I was happy that he had it available on audio since I have more listening time than actual reading time.
As I was listening, I put Henry himself into Harley's role and it seemed to work well... I thought he did a really good job of character development and with handling spiritual, cultural and racial issues throughout the book. I wasn't really familiar with the setting of the book, so I enjoyed all the history of that area that was added... gave it a good sense of place. A small town with a history of mixed races and cultures... and overcoming the hate and mistrust. The story was good and kept me guessing...The narrator was almost robotic sounding and took awhile to get used to... it took away from the book a little bit, but all in all.... It's a good listen! I recommend this book!

Part edification on religious tolerance, part ode to Occoquan, VA, wrapped in a crime story.
Harley, a white-bread liberal Methodist minister sees his safe comfortable world implode when his wife and daughter die in a terrorist attack in Europe. As anger and bitterness encapsulate his grief, his bishop reassigns him to a smaller, dying congregation located in a scenic river town near Washington, DC. Soon after arriving in town, a Muslim woman, daughter of the local immigrant baker, is found murdered and her father is arrested on suspicion of committing an honor killing. Much to Harley’s dismay, he is called upon to visit the man in jail. Can he overcome his anger and prejudice to offer succor to his perceived enemies?
For the first several chapters I wanted to throw things at Harley. He was not easy to like or even tolerate but fortunately his character does progress. Many characters do seem like archetypes whose main purpose is to highlight points of view. Nonetheless, the plot and its twists were enjoyable as were the history lessons on Occoquan, Virginia.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the audio book with the understanding that I would write a review.
