After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

oof... well this book has had a lot of high praise so I think it's just me but it was a struggle to get through. I never knew if the author was talking about a person, place or thing. The best I have is a last was looking for her lost son. I don't have a clue what else it was about. So, again, I'm guessing it just isn't my style of book, but maybe it will be yours. One more thing I think would have helped is I'd the narrator would have used different voices so you could tell the difference in characters.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 9
All of us are familiar with the fairy tales of youth where the young hero and heroine fall in love, defeat their enemies, marry, and live happily ever after. The fairy tales gathered here are about what happens next, when the Prince goes bald and the Princess has a midlife crisis. They portray middle-aged men and women facing the special issues dealing with crisis, aging and mortality, and the desire for renewal.

Reviewed: 04-13-23
Only the fairy tales are read, all of Dr. Chinens writings are left out. I ended up buying the paperback to make full use if this. I'm glad I did as it's easy to get lost in the fairytale and not be able to get all the wisdom out of them. The audio is kinda low quality too, needs redone .

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,116
John Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our father. In life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood from beloved son to cowboy to warrior to lover to king to sage. Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood - not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
There is an unnamed feeling that haunts most men. It's a sense that there's more to life than the day-to-day existence we're living now. But the culture of this world ambition and greed and fear teaches us to ignore that feeling. Our culture nudges us toward isolation and insecurity, boredom and fatigue, selfishness and survival. It teaches us to keep our heads down, to follow the system, to man up and power through because that's what we men are supposed to do.

great stuff to learn
Reviewed: 11-06-21
I was frustrated because it has so much 'workbook' type stuff so you can only get little our of it. Justin, you can add pdf type files and things for people to use or print off. Can you please do that for the future readers? I'll just buy the next book in paper back form just in case it has more interactive things that I issued out on in audible form.

But none of it works. Because only one thing will bring us the joy, peace, purpose, and significance we desire: a relationship with the God of heaven. An intimate relationship, one that is real and true. But for that kind of relationship, we must embark on a journey to encounter him personally. In his new book Odyssey, Justin Camp offers a practical, scriptural field guide for men who are ready to walk this ancient path. The book is built around six short biographies, real-life stories of great American astronauts.
