A beautiful book

It is initially made a little hard to get used to many voices reading the one narration, but by the end one certainly sinks into it. Many a moment a tear needed to be wiped away, many a moment his life described cast a needed shining light on where my path needed to adjust. Thank you George, and thank you readers for bringing me this.
Refreshing

It starts slowly, but pulls the listener in with gentle grace as well as interesting characters and suspense. Fans of "Pansy" and Grace Livingston Hill will be particularly attracted to this book, but it's much more than a romance. The author has much to say to anyone concerned with living a God-centered life.
A bit boring

The story is full of religious reflexions, sometimes too long. The main plot line is often interrupted by other characters' lines (which were less interesting for me). But still it is a good old English story, quiet and calming.
Great book and narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The truth is illuminated through out by Macdonald's great words. thanks to all the readers. a couple chapters were a little harder to hear but other than that, it was perfect.

A long book with quite a few readers. BUT, interesting, encouraging and sometimes hilarious. Quite a lot of philosophy that can get a bit long, but the main character practices what he preaches. I'll read it again.
quite fascinating

Some readers have a great talent with reading! Though itâs always nicer to have only one reader per book... love the book itself though! Excellent content! Good food for thought..
Good book, multiple readers

I enjoyed the story, well developed characters. As the book was written in first person, the multiple readers of accent, race, sex, and age was annoying.
