Narrator Pamela Almand is fully credible as the voice of the author, sounding like a refined woman who enjoys pondering the mysteries of the Catholic Church, God, and the universe. Almand has the kind of voice that encourages confession and promises forgiveness. It's a comforting voice, perfect for this audio collection of stories and essays about life, the Church, and beyond. Once the listener gets past the lengthy introduction to the meat of the book, its true message comes forth. Why does God allow horrible things to happen? Can we really be forgiven for our sins? What do God and the Church want? While there a few answers to these unanswerable questions in the audiobook, there are a great deal more wisdom and encouragement.
