Beth does it again

To Live as Christ, exceeded my expectation of a Beth Moore book. So many insights into the life of Paul. Every page is worth reading, I learned so many new things. Thanks Beth. The narration was not that great however. There were a lot of repeated phrases/sentences, mispronunciations, and once a starting over preceding with the word "sorry." One positive thing was the narrator's voice had a similar quality to Beth's.

Fantastic study

This study was far better than I could have imagined. I love the narrator's kind and easy to follow voice.

Thirsty for Paul?

if you are thirsty for Paul, this study by Beth Moore will not only quench your immediate thirst, but leave you wanting more! The study is thorough, just as I have found all Beth Moore's studies. Enjoy!

A book I will listen to again and again.

I must admit that I am hooked. I have listened all the way through twice and I can guarantee I'll listen many more times. I have always felt a special fondness and admiration for the Apostle Paul. Beth's deep insights have de-mystified his life and teachings for me, and I have come away with an even deeper feeling of endearment for him. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who desires encouragement to finish the race well.

Blessing

It was so good to hear about the life of Paul, and know things I did not know. Great Book

Memorable Read

Would you consider the audio edition of To Live Is Christ to be better than the print version?

I still love printed books and writing in the margins and underlining things, but this book is one that is great to walk or drive with and listen to over and over again, always gaining something new from it each time I listen to it.

What did you like best about this story?

Beth has such a great admiration and love for God and it shows in how she brings the books and the people of the Bible to light in her teachings and writings. I feel like I know Christ and the Apostle Paul so much better after listing to this book.

Which character – as performed by Renee Ertl – was your favorite?

This is not really an appropriate question for this book as she isn't reading in character parts, but she does read similar to the way Beth would have presented her writing, with emotion and thoughtfulness.

Any additional comments?

This is a great read for those wanting to understand more about the life of Paul and his passion for spreading the Gospel and living for Christ. You can know a little or a lot about the Bible already, either way you will gain from this book.

story of Paul

LOVED learning more about the life of Saul contrasted against how to live our lives

Excellent narrative of the life of Paul

At first I was disappointed that Beth Moore was not the narrator but the gal who was worked out fine. I love Beth’s academia and narrative for this story and how I can understand what Paul’s life meant in the New Testament. Very worthwhile reading or listening.

Reader Ruins It

I usually get through audiobooks in 1-3 days, but this one took me several months because the reader was so awful I couldn’t listen for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time. She’s not narrating a book, she’s using the kind of voice you hear in advertising, that sort of singsongy fake enthusiasm that just gets even more obnoxious the longer it goes on. I can’t fathom who made the decision that she was a better choice than the author herself, who is an accomplished speaker and could’ve knocked this one out of the park. As it is, the terrible reading ruined it for me. Get the paperback or ebook version instead.

Okay study, though not well-written/ read

The writing wasn't good quality. I won't go into detail on that. Her writing ability is not good, in my opinion. Very simple, flat, and repetitive.

Also, it felt like she was constantly trying to give a life lesson for any scripture rather than staying on point.

The reading was also flat and repetitive in tone. Not very much color.

I was happy to go through Paul's life chronologically, but it took alot of effort to finish this.
