About this listen
"Close your eyes, Ela of Parne. Close your eyes and you will see." Ela Roeh of Parne doesn't understand why her beloved Creator, the Infinite, wants her to become His prophet. She’s undignified, bad tempered, and only 17 - not to mention that no prophet of Parne has ever been a girl. Worst of all, as the elders often warn, if she agrees to become the Infinite's prophet, Ela knows she will die young. "Istgard has turned their back on Me. See the evil they do." Yet after experiencing His presence, she can't imagine living without Him. Determined to follow the Infinite's voice, Ela accepts the sacred vinewood branch and is sent to bring the Infinite’s word to a nation torn apart by war. Here she meets Kien, a young Traceland ambassador determined to bring his own justice for his oppressed people. As they form an unlikely partnership, Ela must surrender to her destiny... and determine how to balance the leading of her heart with the leading of the Infinite. "Will you accept the branch and speak My will? Will you be My prophet?"

One of the newly "gifted" wish it had never come. While Achan learns to use his new ability, Vrell struggles to shut hers down. All the voices strive to learn Achan and Vrell's true identities - and a different kind of voice is calling them both. Toward a destination that is by darkness hid.

Story
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

Story
The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

I loved this story, but not so much the narrator. Did not have the best knack for different voices. I will probably read instead of listen to the next book in this series.

Pleasant surprise bc I considered previous reviews on performer prior to purchasing.
What a lively depiction of our Father's heart and the burdens (good/bad) carried by those called by Him.
Such a timely read, on a personal level.
I was totally engrossed in the story so the performance wasn't a hindrance. Actually, I was only vaguely aware of it since I'd read other reader's reviews. My recommendation: buy the book. It will speak to your heart if you enjoy Christian fiction - I quickly identified and cared for the characters so I heard the story more than the performer. I suppose I got lost in the wonderfully woven plot.

I thought the reader did a good job!
What did you love best about Prophet?
Explores what it would be like to represent God ("The Infinite") at a level where you were given glimpses of the immediate future in order to represent God in a time of judgment and change.
What other book might you compare Prophet to and why?
The Exodus in the Bible where God speaks to Moses, along with the prophetess Huldah, a bit of Deborah, and a bit of Isaiah thrown in just for good measure.
But, throw into the mix just a little bit of normal teenage girl who has human emotions and feelings, humor, and depression. A bit like Katness from the Hunger Games.
What does Brooke Heldman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Here's the rub. She expresses A LOT of emotion! If you don't like this, you will be put off a bit. But I certainly felt that her exclamations of emotion generally fit the character well. She was passionate for the reading! Bravo! My children also really like her voice. We all think she struggles a bit with some of the darker male characters (though we think she does well with the lighter ones).
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It reminded me that God is interested in the course of history and he does see all. I am not one to cry, but I did empathize very much and cared about the characters.
Any additional comments?
I wanted to dispel some of the negative reviews. I and my children have enjoyed this book and will go on in the series.

lt is the bible with new faces
Would you consider the audio edition of Prophet to be better than the print version?
Yes, but then again I am more audiobook than written book. You can multitask with audio.
What other book might you compare Prophet to and why?
The bible. So far this series it's like taking Isaiah, Jonah, Jeremiah, Job, and King David and slamming them all together.
Which character – as performed by Brooke Heldman – was your favorite?
Kennen
If you could take any character from Prophet out to dinner, who would it be and why?
God. Who wouldnt want to dine with their creator?

Who was your favorite character and why?
Love interest of the Prophet and the new king. I love men with strong moral character, passion and wisdom.
What aspect of Brooke Heldman’s performance would you have changed?
I did not care for the voice she chose for the Prophet.

I don't know how many times I have read this book. I love recognizing the similarities to the stories in the Bible. After reading this book I bought the rest if the series, and have read them over and over again. They open up lots of opportunities for me to talk with God.
