  • Through My Headset – The Betrayal

    Anxious to continue with the story of “The Brotherhood” I quickly loaded the audio story “The Betrayal” , part 2 of the story.

    The story did conclude, exciting to the end. It reminded me of many of today’s police dramas with the twist of a man seeking to follow God.  I am pleased to know there are additional books in the series.

    Jerry B. Jenkins brings life to characters who believe in the Word and face daily trials where they learn to rely on it. He doesn’t add the falseness often portrayed on television.

    The narration and writing were very good.  I could visualize the scene and follow the action. Sometimes I found it hard to knit or crochet while listening, because I was so engrossed in the story.

    As I looked into the next book, I found this is a trilogy, thus only 1 more book. The story could end at Betrayal, I am anxious to see what happens next. I was, however,  looking forward to long series…. oh well.

  • Through My Headset – The LEFT BEHIND series

    With the release of the movie “LEFT BEHIND” starring Nicholas Cage, I thought I would mention here that I listened to the dramatized versions of the Left Behind books via Audible Dot Com about 10 years ago.

    While listening I did take a break. I was listening at the time of the Twin Towers attack at the same time attacks were taking place during the book. I was on emotional overload and had to step away for a bit.

    I enjoyed the dramatized version. It felt like being at a movie without the visual. I do not want all the books I listen to to be dramatized, but for some books it truly helps bring it alive.

    It was easy to follow the story line while working on a knit/crochet project.

    What series of books have you enjoyed and would you recommend?

  • Through My Headset – The Prayer Box

    I just finished listening to “The Prayer Box” by Lisa Wingate. It was read very well by Xe Sands.

    Tandi finds herself cleaning out the historic old home of Iola Poole where she finds boxes and boxes and boxes filled with letters ‘to my father’.

    Through reading these letters she learns much about the writer, the town and herself.

    I identified well with Tandi and enjoyed the story of her personal growth. I completed quite a few crocheted teddy bears and a trip through Costco while listening to this book.
