Reviews
Perfect Reading Style

I disagree with the other review. We absolutely love the lack of affect. It's the next best thing to chant. My wife and I listen to these homilies on our way to Divine Liturgy, Thank you for your efforts.

Her voice is so easy to understand. I use this to help teach English. And the spiritual teachings of Macarius are so relevant. Excellent book and excellent reading.

Great Read

Worth the time, Macarius focuses on Total Sanctification of the soul, simply before the eyes of God. He does not provide social Theology, or dogma etc - but a truly mystical approach to the mysteries of the Christian life in real time, from his cave in Egypt. It is worth the pilgrimage to go sit and listen to what he has to say. God bless you, traveler.
Very poorly read ...

Very poorly read ... No intonation, lack of feeling while reading ... Thanks for the effort anyway, but i think i'll continue with the book.
Excellent!
