Atheists Who Kneel and Pray

By: Tarryn Fisher

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Finty Williams

Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins

Publisher's Summary

Yara Phillips is a wandering muse. She dates men who need her, but always moves on to something new, never staying in one place for very long.  

David Lisey is in need of a muse. A talented musician lacking lyrical inspiration. When he first sees her, he knows he's found what he's been seeking.  

Yara believes she can give David exactly what he needs to reach his full potential: a broken heart. 

David’s religion is love. Yara’s religion is heartache. Neither is willing to surrender, but religion always requires sacrifice.

Tarryn never disappoints

I love Tarryn Fisher stories. All her books have damaged characters you can’t get out of your head. You may or may not like the characters, but you can’t stop reading about them, like watching a train wreck. Yara has commitment issues and she knows why. It stems from her Mother. She has never been in love.....she doesn’t stick around long enough to know what that is. She never sticks around anywhere long enough to develop roots. Then David comes along. She is his Muse and loves her completely! He has faith in her, but she doesn’t have faith in herself. Yara does what Yara does best......run. The connection between David and Yara is intense and it push/pulls the relationship. No matter how far Yara runs, she is unable to forget David.

What I like about Fishers characters is they are complicated and messy, yet fragile. I really tire of the same ‘ol, same ‘ol romance stories. Fisher steps outside that box. I never feel like I’ve read a cookie cutter romance with this author. While this particular book was less dark and depressing, like Fisher’s other stories, there is an element of damage. I really like that. It feels real. Tarryn Fisher is an easy buy for me. Very talented writer. Every now and again, she writes a turn of phrase that has me stop and ponder. It’s sysinct and clever. She can also write what appears as mundane, and make it interesting. I look forward to more from this author.

FInty Williams was excellent. I first heard her in The Girl with All the Gifts. She was brilliant. She handled an American accent fairly well, but I could listen to her various British accents for days. Alexander did well too, tho he had a much smaller part than FInty.

What a story

I must say Tarryn Fisher has created a story that is a wonderfully mastered mess, but that’s what I love about her writing. No typical girl meets boy, boy falls for girl HEA. She has hea’s but makes it interesting getting there.
Yara Phillips a nomad has no true home, she was abandoned by her mother never knew her father, bar tends to pay her bills, and flees when things in her confused mind get out of control, till she meets David Linsey who is a musician that has lost his way. David knows from the beginning Yara belongs with him, he just needs to convince her, but I have given you all I’m going to, that where the mastered mess comes in and you need to listen to Finty Williams and Alexander Cendese tell the story.

Better than anything ever.

I have read thousands and thousands of books. Atheists who kneel and Pray is the best audio book I have ever experienced. I feel gutted and hopeful and have cried 6 times at least throughout the book. Yarra and David were amazingly well written magical characters.

More than a story.

Words that speak to the soul, make you feel and think. Loved it. thank u
