Water from My Heart

A Novel

De: Charles Martin

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell

New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin's breathtaking novel of love and redemption.

Charlie Finn had to grow up fast, living alone by age sixteen. Highly intelligent, he earned a life-changing scholarship to Harvard, where he learned how to survive and thrive on the outskirts of privileged society. That skill served him well in the cutthroat business world, as it does in more lucrative but dangerous ventures he now operates off the coast of Miami. Charlie tries to separate relationships from work. But when his choices produce devastating consequences, he sets out to right wrongs, traveling to Central America where he will meet those who have paid for his actions, including a woman and her young daughter. Will their fated encounter present Charlie with a way to seek the redemption he thought was impossible -- and free his heart to love one woman as he never knew he could?

Good book with great end notes

I enjoyed this book a great deal but miss the depth and flow of words that I know this author is capable of. While the story was moving, the end notes were incredibly powerful. Keep ‘em coming, Mr. Martin.

Wonderful, except "On Building a Well" epilogue

I really loved this book. Beautifully written, the right mix of light story with real substance. Not heavy or dark but not just fluff. Was a five start listen until the final 15 minutes. The preachy end portion "On Building a Well" was just too much. Those who believe in God (myself included) will find the message the author means to convey without having it rammed down their throat with a 15 minute lecture. Historical perspective was interesting but self absorbed, preachy lecture was frustrating. Sadly, I wish I had just stopped listening when the fiction was over. The beautiful final notes of the story would have been reverberating, instead of a guilt-trip lecture that has me sighing. I may try another by Charles Martin, but I will admit I'm a bit reluctant. Narration was excellent.

A must read or listen

This book is so good - you don't want to put it down nor do you want it to end. Really makes you think and what it causes you to understand is so important to know. If everyone so blessed with even the ability to buy this book or download it would read it and understand the perspective it brings, we would all be in a better place.

Praise the Lord for Christian authors.

This book really blessed my heart! Martin captured the spirit of the islanders, revealing their hope and faith in the face of overwhelming adversity.

I really enjoyed this book!

This is worth the listen! I couldn't stop listening. Has a good story line and some meaning at the end
