A great story of salvation, redemption and Christian love.
A LibriVox Listener
Good wholesome story, audio is poor
EmJ
the reader of one of the main characters, "Daniel" is very hard to understand and he stumbles over words and has poor cadence.

Very nicely done I really enjoyed this great story!
Too fast and some voices difficult to understand.

A precious story. I appreciate the engagement of each reader as I think each voice reflects each character very well, and that, in the era the story takes place. A Very good reminder God loves each and every person in this world and right where we are with the knowing He doesn't intend to leave us where we are but, if we are willing, He will take us where He knows He wants us to be. For His glory alone. Thank You Father God, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit.
great story

Way too fast

It may be a good story if all words can be understood. Thats a shame.
