The Strangest Way

Walking the Christian Path

De: Robert Barron

Narrado por: Bob Souer

Duración: 6 h y 26 m

Resumen del Editor

Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of religious paths? For the mystics and saints - and for Robert Barron, who discovered Christianity through them - it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center", writes Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life." What could be more compelling?

Great read for those curious about Christianity

Barron cites BobDylan, Dante, Flannery O’Connor, Scripture, movies and more! Benedict XVI wisely said to be a Christian isn’t about philosophy, but a friendship with the living Christ.

Listen with a open mind…

Very well researched and insightful,,,I really enjoy Bishop Barton’s writing. He’s is extremely knowledgeable and cultured - he challenges intellectually and spiritually.

A Timely Message

Well thought out teachings on Chrisitaintiy and the Cattholic Church in the world today.

Catholic Faith Brilliantly explained

Bishop Barron is being for many people like me (the generation of dumb catholicism) the gentle apostle who guide us through history, literature, art, theology and the beauty of the Word to help us truly appreciate and return to the faith so we can be the hands of Jesus in this world.

Counter cultural

Clear think by Bishop Barron. Easy listening and helpful way to live a Christ centered life. Stay weird. Love and peace

Worth the Listen

If you’re struggling to find your way and you have the emotional intellect to follow Robert Barron you’ll get a lot out of this book. Bob Souer’s narration is flawless!

Bishop Robert Barron at his best

The best book…the best explanation of what Christianity is all about. A book fit for Lectio.

Thought provoking!

Bishop Barron is a masterful writer and his passion really comes through regardless of the topic. He’s thoughtful, knowledgeable and this book is no exception. I only wish I had paid closer attention to who was narrating. I’m so used to his voice after we aching his lectures and YouTube channel that it’s distracting hearing someone else’s voice. They material comes across almost cold and detached, losing much of what is Bishop Barton’s trademark.. which is his genuineness and passion. It really hooks you into learning more. The narrator is good in general but for me, it would’ve been so much more meaningful if Bishop Barron had narrated.

All that aside, the content is worth the listen. I’ve learned a lot and will listen to again. Very informative.

This is deep

But as you listen the truth is written to be understood at any path you have taken.

The Strangest Way is the only Way

Excellent. We are drawn to God, we are healed, we discover our mission, and the process eventually answers the question asked about the Crucifix by a non-Christian (CH 1?). This "Strange Way" offers an interesting contrast to the oft mentioned way: purgation, illumination, union. Barron provides a description of each path on the 'Strangest Way', as well as, methods to progress along each path of the 'Way'. And, along this way he intertwines excellent mini summaries of Brideshead Revisited, Dante's 'Divine Comedy' and Flannery O'Conner's 'The Violent Bear It Away''; which are worth the price of the book alone. I had the book once when I read it years ago, but the audio recording brought it home in a new way.
