Heaven Is Now: Awakening Your Five Spiritual Senses to the Wonders of Grace

Andrew Farley, read by Jon Gauger. Oasis Audio, unabridged, three CDs, 3.75 hrs., $17.99 ISBN 978-1-61375-087-2

In his latest, Farley attempts to show readers how, despite the pain and suffering endemic to life, they can continue to lead pious and happy existences. By reaching into his own past—which is rife with personal tragedies, such as the death of his father—Farley adds weight and resonance to his advice. As well, the author aims to help readers reconcile their personal conflicts with religion and expectations about the afterlife. Oasis Audio continues to produce high-quality audiobooks, and this is no exception. Jon Gauger narrates in a clear but casual voice, making spiritual material—something that can often sound lofty or preachy—perfectly accessible to everyday listeners. And Gauger varies his tone and tempo throughout, making his narration consistently interesting and engaging. Listeners looking for an accessible and well-performed spiritual guide will not be disappointed. A Baker hardcover. (Apr.)
