A great place to begin
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend. Sire presented a basic worldview analysis that was understandable, but excluded complex issues. I do not believe the exclusions of complex topics took away from the validity of the book, however made it easier to comprehend to beginners on the subject matter. The book is not an end all in itself, but a beginning to exploring worldview.

A Classic Analysis of Worldviews
We live in a cultural intellectual milieu that many fail to understand. This book has held center stage for a rigorous analysis of worldviews and ultimately provides a strong case for Christian theism

Disappointed
Chapters are not marked correctly. For example I start what is supposed to be the 7th chapter, and narrator says Chapter 9.
Some chapters start in the middle of it.
First experience with audible and didn't like it.

Apologetics Not Broad Overview
I got this book expecting a more general treatment of the worldviews presented. Be warned, this is NOT an even-handed text - it is Christian apologetics. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with apologetic books (the book I had listened to just prior was CS Lewis' "Mere Christianity"), but I was given the impression that this text was a general overview instead. Given that perception going in, I was disappointed.
The book starts presenting "Theism" - Christianity. The author dismisses other theistic systems such as Judaism or Islam due to his lack of background, so Christianity is the only example of theism presented. The presentation of Christianity does not deal with any of the challenges of Christianity - it presents it as if it were true. That would be fine if the rest of the systems equally, but it does not.
The rest of the systems presented (Deism, Naturalism, etc.) are first presented as their basic components. Once that's done, the problems of any of those systems are then referred back to how "Theism" (again, Christianity exclusively) addresses that problem.
For an apologetics book, this book does well. It presents positive arguments for Christianity, and how it answers other systems problems. If you want an easy-to-listen to book on apologetics, this is an excellent book. My rating, however, is based not on this aspect, but on the expectation I was given about this book as a general overview.
