4.0 out of 5 stars Good book; weak ending, 27 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Listener (Hardcover)
I enjoyed watching the vignettes of broken lives getting restored as people saw or met The Man Who Listens. The technique of having the characters unwittingly ask questions that reveal attributes of the Man, are also powerful, at least the first few times this technique is used. The person who wrote this book clearly must have been a reflective observer of humanity.

However, I was most disappointed by the ending. After going through a litany of 14 individuals whose lives have been warped by their own or others' evil, the author constructs an ending that would require people choosing to do good! Nevertheless, I did enjoy the flavor of the ending, and how it reflected the Cold War era in which it was written (1961).

I first read The Listener when it was originally published.I found it to be one of the most inspiring books I had ever read. Recently I re-read it and I found it to be a very simple, clear portrayal of the awesome power of prayer.It is truely inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for group discussion., 6 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Listener (Hardcover)
Knowing Taylor Caldwell's background of inspired writing, this book confirmed my belief that God truly exists. This book has spurred me on to further investigations into the realm of spiritual awareness that is absolutely awesome.
