“For the most part, this is a fairly good close read of a variety of texts. The hosts spend a little too much time enjoying their own familiarity for a public audience (you generally can skip the first 10 minutes of each episode).
The hosts are not pushing their agenda as proud Christians, but as often the case, that means it very much gets in the way of their interpretations. These are books read by Christians as Christians, and for those of us who are not, it’s a huge distraction. Too often “As a Christian . . . “ starts a sentence that takes away from the listening.
I gave it a try because I enjoyed the Daily Poem by the same group. After three books I had to quit because I’m not in the specific audience this is aimed at (intentional or not)”

“I have been listening for a couple of years now and it is a constant source of bookish joy. It has stretched me to read books that I wouldn't otherwise have picked up and I'm a richer person for it. I've learned so much about how to read well and how to appreciate a variety of genres....”Read full review »
