Satan's Plea

By: Nelson Lowhim

Narrated by: Mark Lindgren

Length: 1 hr and 5 mins

Publisher's summary

The battle between good and evil, God and Satan.A fight older than time.

But is everything we know about this struggle just a matter of propaganda? Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, Shaytan sure thinks so. In this letter he tries to convince the human race, you, of his intentions.

They are pure.

Everything that was blamed on him was done as a smokescreen to cover more sinister motives.

The Fall? Not merely a matter of wanting to rule in Hell over serving in Heaven.

The Garden of Eden? He was trying to help us.

Jesus? Don't even ask.

With this letter Lucifer tells us his version of all the stories to settle his mind and settle the injustices of this world once and for all. Be careful...you might find yourself on the wrong side.

Solid Alternative Take on the Story of Satan

I enjoyed this quite a bit. The "other side of the story" type of tale is right up my alley. If you like this type of tale I would recommend this story. I liked it enough as well to buy the Kindle version so I can go back over it in print. I'm a little torn at 4 stars but I think I could go with a split at 5 for the story and 4 for the narration for 4.5 actual stars. My only criticism of the narration is that the bass level seemed a bit high which made it a little hard to hear some of the words at times, otherwise the narrator did an excellent job with character and voice. I would love a more expanded version of the tale in the future if the author has more to tell. I could definitely see a novella sized story here. Good job!

Never read/heard a book quite like it.

It's really quite a novel experience to hear a story from Satan's perspective. I give this book 10/10, would recommend to anyone that isn't the stuffy religious type.

Awesome

Very interesting perspective. Kept me engaged the whole way through. Wish it was longer, didn't want it to be over.

Nice little story with good narration

Satan's Plea by Nelson Lowhim tells the story of how Satan experienced life in heaven, and his views on why he was expelled.
Minor spoiler alert: He thinks God is a selfish person who bullies angels into following order, is short sighted, and in general a bad leader and role model. As a result, Satan and a few other angels gather together and starts working towards a better world.

It is a funny take on the biblical story of Satan, and should be required reading for christians, since it is clear that the one-sided take they trust in, could in fact be quite different. While not exactly a deep tale, it just gives us a short insight into Satans character and not much else, and is therefore not very surprising.

It is quite well written, and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a short, and somewhat humorous, story to lighten up their day. It is a relatively short audiobook (1 hour and 5 minutes), and the narration by Mark Lindgren was done really well. He set the mood perfectly with a very deep voice, and had a nicely tonal variety that helped the story along.

I end up with 3/5 for a well written and coherent story, with great narration, that doesn't push any boundaries (Well, perhaps for christians). Had the story been longer and slightly more complex, I would most likely have given it another star.

Disclaimer: I was provided the audiobook for free, in return for a review.

interesting idea

After reading the synopsis I instantly added this book to my wishlist. I found myself listening and going back and forth between, "some of the things he is saying sound legit," and "well now he is known as the master deceiver." Overall great short read and entertaining.

WOW!

What did you love best about Satan's Plea?

This is an interesting perspective from the "other side." I was intrigued and it didn't fail to deliver. Very cool little story.

What did you like best about this story?

The perspective.

What about Mark Lindgren’s performance did you like?

AMAZING.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's good to look at things from a different perspective and this showcases that fact.

well done!

fun twist on biblical things. very enjoyable! Its not anti God but I'm sure some could take it that way. I took lt as a story. nothing more

Interesting idea

Interesting take on the story of the fall. Narrator did a great job nice voice.

Unique PoV

I loved this unique retelling from Satan’s point of view. The story got a bit dull in the latter half, but ultimately it was refreshing to listen to. It felt like satan was my grandfather telling me about his adventures in his childhood, which was hilarious. There were some great one liners mixed into the story that made me laugh out loud.

The narrator was the perfect gruffness for this story.

I received this book for free at my request and voluntarily provided this review.

Short, but sweet!

Loved the narration and story line, although it was very brief. Would love to read more!
