      Some listeners may be reluctant to listen to this audiobook because it's recommended for addicts and alcoholics in recovery. However, listening to David Drummond's interpretation of the text transforms it into a life-affirming experience for everyone who listens. In addition, those seeking to define a higher power or to put more spirituality into their lives will be happy with this fine selection, filled with stories from Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Drummond nimbly winds his way through these myriad tales with various accents and humor and helps listeners hear the moral in every tale. His energy and enthusiasm throughout keep listeners connected to the authors' theme: how to live successfully with failures in one's life. E.E.S.
