Tod Linafelt thus gives readers the tools to fully experience and appreciate the Old Testament's literary achievement.

I'm amazed at how this app has made my workouts more motivating and my audiobooks more accessible. Decent audiobook but I think I would have enjoyed reading it more. Some of the more subtle humor didn't quite land in the audio format. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.
