Edward's Folly

De: Ronald Grasmick

Narrado por: Thomas Metzinger

Edward and his wife Jean lose nearly everything, and are forced to relocate to a rundown family property in a small Texas town. Despair sets in when they can’t find the property and their car stops running, until they meet Ray, a Christian man who feels called to help. Ray and his wife open their hearts and home, calling on the church members to help the young couple.

But Edward doesn’t trust Ray or the church - and in fact, Ray’s insistence that he and the church only want to help, no strings attached, threatens Edward’s belief the church is not what they claim to be.

In the face of resistance, Ray must choose between following the calling of God to help bring Edward back, or giving up in futility and allow Edward’s world belief to prevail. Can Edward let go of painful past experiences to return to the Lord’s flock and restore his family?

Told from the alternating perspectives of two men - one a believer, one lost from the flock.

The real American ride

There is a homely honesty and calmness about this story that invokes the best of what I have experienced in America. Edward is the sceptic who needs the support of family and friends to see the truth about himself, life and God.
I love how cars are woven into the story. If something happens, there's a car involved! This makes the story genuine for men.
The narrator matches the tone of the book very well. He makes each voice distinct and easy to recognize. I would listen to his books again.
