Good Christian Story about Fighting for Marriage.

What made the experience of listening to Amongst the Flames: A Contemporary Christian Romance the most enjoyable?

The narrator has a perfect voice for the main character. Also this is an uplifting story about overcoming obstacles in your life, particularly your marriage, through the Lord. It is written in a no frills, plain spoken style with a dramatic narrative. It is particularly good for the Christian fiction genre.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a realistic portrayal of some of the common problems in marriage (minus the male fantasy about his father-in-law dying so conveniently). It portrays the male mindset fairly well (according to my husband who listened to it with me while redoing the bathroom floor). It is a hopeful story that contains good advice.

Have you listened to any of Chris Abell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but he gave a wonderful performance. He brought both the fire fighters and Megan and Amanda to life. He switched between the characters flawlessly. Good sound quality. Nice job.

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

There are several moving scenes in this book. When Megan leaves with the children, when he storms out of his father-in-law's house, the reconciliation talk he has with his father-in-law, when Cole finds out his wife was bar hopping, when Cole takes a turn with bedtime chores for the first time, and when Cole finds his wife's diary are all emotional scenes.

My husband's favorite scenes were when Cole realized that he really only sought God in times of crisis (the dusty bible scene) and when Cole realizes how much his wife is putting into raising their children.

Any additional comments?

I received this book for free from the author, narrator or publisher in exchange for an honest review. This is a great book.

Beauuuutiful....

This story is a touching rendition of God's agape love in a contemporary marital relationship.

Where was the wife’s repentance?

Why didn’t they seek counseling? Meghan’s character was obnoxious. She broke trust and then got mad because her husband didn’t automagically trust her. M’am? I need you to have several seats.
