It's not just opinion, it's not just what one feels is right. This is a serious investigation and study based on facts and science. Matt Walsh does a brilliant job showing the reality of transgenderism. Every parent, every adolescent, and every adult person should watch his original documentary What is a Woman, then read his book that expands and details all of the information presented in that documentary. This audio version of the book is perfect. So just read it, listen to it, and share it with others.

The voice is just not suited for this. I could not get through the recording. I switched to another one that although not perfect either, at least I could listen and start and finish the entire story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 262
Jane Austen's first major novel, a parody of the popular literature of the time, is an ironic tale of the romantic folly of men and women in pursuit of love, marriage, and money. The humorous adventures of young Catherine as she encounters "the difficulties and dangers of a six weeks' residence in Bath" lead to some of Austen's most brilliant social satire.

I initially started another recording of Northanger Abbey, butI just could not get through it. So I switched to this narration and started the book all over. I am glad I did. It is not the perfect performance, but much better and more enjoyable to listen to. Recommended.

We know we need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait upon Him. But it is often a painful, lonely process that takes longer than we want it to. In her classic book Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot candidly shares with you her love story with Jim Elliot as evidence that she has been there. Through letters, diary entries, and memories, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of two young people whose commitment to Christ took priority over their love for each other.

Love Andersen, wrong narrator

Love Andersen, wrong narrator
Reviewed: 05-26-22
So I just love Hans Christian Andersen's stories. This is a Hebrew version, and it definitely helps me improve my Hebrew.
Howeverl I so wish the narrator were a bit more enthusiastic. She has a lovely voice, but I think the narration needs more life. Perhaps I have been listening too much to English narrations of actors and actresses who are highly experienced and know how to immerse the listener into the story, and how to make the one who listens a part of the story.
Well, I am still hoping to find such a Hebrew narrator... but for now, I am content with having at least a Hebrew audiobook of some sweet stories, like Andersen's classics.

This Audible Exclusive performance features a unique introduction written and narrated by Miriam Margolyes. Recognised as one of Dickens' most accomplished titles, Bleak House has impressed critics and audiences alike since it was first published in 1852. The novel boasts one of the most intelligent and engaging plots in all of English literature and is sure to engage the listener's imagination as it transports us back in time to the seedy, grimy and hazardous streets of Victorian London.

> The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas. It is often considered to be, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas' most popular work. The writing of the The Count of Monte Cristo was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it was expanded from plot outlines suggested by collaborators. The Count of Monte Cristo takes place in France and Italy, and is an adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness.

I wish the entire book would have been narrated in Hebrew... The narrator is ok, but it is such a shame that this is not the whole novel of The Count of Monte Cristo!
I also wish there were no music break between the chapters. All in all, I enjoyed listening and it helped me improve my Hebrew 🙂📖🎧

In our risk-avoidant culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown--the natural risks of life--we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their fullest potential.

did not answer my questions
Reviewed: 12-24-21
Well, I was hoping for a more specific investigation on the Christmas holiday, its origins, tradition, historical background. This is more like a Case for Christ than a Case for Christmas, and what all this tradition has to do with Him. To celebrate His birthday on December 25th, while we do not even know when He was born. More importantly, it is not God's commandment to do so. Yet keeping The Lord's Supper to remember His death and resurrection, is.
If like me, you are searching for more on the origins of the Christmas holiday and traditions, waste no time with this book. It won't offer much apart from a few side notes.
However, if you are familiar with The Case for Christ, then consider this a shorter version of that. And you may enjoy it.
