Brilliant explanation from hebraic perspective

There is a lot of insight into the temple, ministry and services which gives us a hebraic way of viewing the gospel message. It is beautiful the more me realize them.

Narrator

The narrator did a very poor job in the pronunciation of Jewish words and phrases. It was painful to listen to him.

Narration made it difficult to follow

Overall, it is a great book and, at many points, gave me urge to stop and praise the Lord Jesus for what He has done as I was reminded of the types that all point to Him!
My main trouble is with the narration of the book. For one, he reads subheadings within chapters so quickly and without a good pause that it is difficult to discern when he is moving from one subtopic on to another. Secondly, I purchased a print copy of the book and followed along as he read. While doing so, I realized that A LOT of words are left out throughout the narration, so much so that some sentences do not make sense if all you have is the audio. For example, one particular sentence in Chapter 5 reads,
"But the Holy One - blessed be He - accepted our sacrifice from us as redemption and atonement."

However, the narrator literally reads it as follows, "But the Holy One - be He - our sacrifice from us as redemption and atonement."

Lastly, I personally feel that the narration is kind of monotone.
