Once Upon a Time

This biblically based book will inspire listeners as author Debbie Macomber explains her belief that life is a story that is part of God's grand design. She uses the structure and methods of storytelling to encourage listeners to discover their own "life stories." Beth DeVries's warm delivery begins with a fascinating account of Macomber's personal journey from childhood dyslexia to bestselling authorship. In measured, deliberate tones, DeVries delivers "story prompts" that encourage listeners to remember situations of conflict that made people who they are and the essential backstory that is part of them. These are elements God uses as part of His grand design to draw listeners to Himself in our "forever after story." The best parts of this production are DeVries's adept pacing and vivid accounts of Macomber's humorous life story and Christian beliefs. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
