Futurecast: What Today’s Trends Mean for Tomorrow’s World

George Barna, read by Jon Gauger. Oasis Audio, , unabridged, seven CDs, 8 hrs., $27.99 ISBN 978-1-59859-970-1

Barna explores the ways in which spotting today’s trends can help one prepare for the future and achieve success in both big and small ways. He provides a range of measures to help listeners seize opportunities for personal, business, and religious fulfillment. Jon Gauger’s narration is smooth and paced well, and his emphasis helps the listener navigate the many complex facts and figures. Yet while his tone is genial, this fails to help the production. Although Gauger comes across as beneficent, his reading sounds condescending, which will likely alienate some listeners. The audiobook includes an interview with the author and a PDF containing supplementary charts and graphs. A BarnaBooks hardcover. (July)
