What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Story
First published in 1525, Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther response to Desiderius Erasmus' Diatribe on Free Will, written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty.

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

There are only two places where the powerful and great in this world lose their courage, tremble in the depths of their souls, and become truly afraid. These are the manger and the cross of Jesus Christ. No priest, no theologian stood at the cradle of Bethlehem. And yet, all Christian theology finds its beginnings in the miracle of miracles, that God became human. These stirring words are among forty devotions that guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Advent and Christmas....

A truly challenging book that will reveal areas of potential growth and maturity - even in the most advanced believer.

Marcellino D'Ambrosio dusts off what might have been just dry theology to bring you the exciting stories of great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and Jerome. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved the rich legacy of the early Church for us.

Tedious
This is like listening to someone read from one of those 'Page-a-Day' calendars, but without the passion. The narrator sounds like a pleasant young man who was given a reading assignment. For example, when he introduces each day's reading, he gives a brief biographical note on the author of the quotation and then -- without changing his inflection to indicate that he is now quoting the author -- he instantly transitions into the quotation itself. To say that it is distracting is an understatement. Jarring would be a better word. The quotations are mostly interesting, but the book is not meant to be read (or listened to) for more than about 5 minutes at a time -- the quotation of the day.

Like having a library in one book
What made the experience of listening to How Great Is Our God the most enjoyable?
It is fascinating to hear what these theologians have to say over the past 2000 years
What other book might you compare How Great Is Our God to and why?
There are books written about or by nearly every author in this book but this gives you a taste for what they had to say and if you are really interested you can get them later
Would you listen to another book narrated by Bill DeWees?
Absolutely, he does a very good job.

No.

Me, you, anybody else.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Confusion and aversion
Any additional comments?
I think it may be a great book. I couldn't get past the flat hollow Hollywood radio announcer voice of the reader.I am expecting a reading of the most deep and powerful personal spiritual moments known to the West; I'm expecting subtle or direct revelations of men's understanding of, and relationship to, God.What could be more sacred and delicate and raw? I would expect the reader to embody that (at least a little) in his reading, but I detected no sensitivity to the subject, just a direct reading that is not even clear structurally or linguistically.Listen to the sample before you buy. Maybe it's just me. I have no beef with the subject, Just wish I wouldn't have bought it.

The only problem with the audio version is that they only give scripture references. Wished he would read the scripture also. I listen to this while getting ready in the morning. Do not have time to to look up the scripture because this is a supplement to my devotional. Otherwise it is a great daily listening.

Wide range of authors is the highpoint
I enjoyed this title for its wide range of authors. Some particular readings didn't really speak to me, but the ones that did were well worth the listen. Readings that are moving inspire me to look up that author and read more. Kind of a spiritual smorgasbord so to speak.
Well worth the listen.

Excellent Inspiring Informative
I bought this several years ago and have listened to it off and on since. There are some who are taking off stars because of the narrator and I’m not sure why. His voice is excellent, and yes it’s familiar however it in no way detracts from my enjoyment. I’ve have been blessed as a born again Christian for decades and have been a student of His Word ever since. I have many books ranging in depth be it philosophy, theology, biographies, commentaries and so on. How Great Is Our God has introduced me to more amazing Christians with inspiring stories of walking in the Light. My library now includes some titles from those mentioned here. So yes, I’m delighted with how this book has whetted my appetite to learn more. I love studying so I’m perfectly happy with looking up the verses suggested because I want to read the verses before the one suggested and maybe the ones after to better grasp the content. No book other than the Bible has all the information a reader would want which is why I’m surprised that anyone would give less than 4 stars. To me having one book with so much information is exciting and their stories and words of faith are inspiring.

So-So
The readings themselves were often interesting, but they were in random order. I would have preferred either chronologically, to trace the development of Christian thought, or topical, to focus on a given theme. Instead there seems to be no rhyme or reason in the selections and the order they are presented.
The narrator made me sleepy.

Great on the coffee table. Awful in audio.
A really interesting work but I'm sticking it on my Amazon wish-list. Just doesn't work in spoken word. Entries are brief, you lose track of which author's work you're listening to and you can't just 'flick back' and look like you can in a book. Also helpful to have a Bible on hand. Arranged as a 'reading a day' work that really didn't suit the way I listen to audio books. Back to paper.
