Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul

De: Chad Bird

Narrado por: Trevor Thompson

Duración: 3 h y 8 m

Resumen del Editor

Journeys that begin in brokenness rarely follow a straight road to healing. There are twists and turns - and setbacks - on the path of repentance.

Night Driving tells the story of a pastor and seminary professor whose moral failures destroyed his marriage and career, left his life in ruins, and sent him spiraling into a decade-long struggle against God. Forced to fight the demons of his past in the cab of the semi-truck he drove at night through the Texas oil fields, Chad Bird slowly began to limp toward grace and healing.

Drawing on his expertise as an Old Testament scholar, Bird weaves together his own story, the biblical story, and the stories of fellow prodigals as he peels back the layers of denial, anger, addiction, and grief to help listeners come face-to-face both with their own identities and with the God who alone can heal them.

Loved it!

Refreshing and encouraging to hear raw truth, no fluff, no filter. He talks about the church I know in my heart. Come to me all who weary and heavy burdened and I( the Lord) will give you rest!

Amazing story of loss and forgiveness!!

Chad Bird tells his story. He pulls no punches. Chad made mistakes and then owns those mistakes on the path to forgiveness. I lost myself in the audio version. So, so good. I cried, I smiled, and I thought. Wow. What a book! Listen to this book. Then, listen again! Thank you, Chad.

both challenging and encouraging

this is a good message for all men in the church. 68% of men in the church Russell with pornography. we may not have all experience the same sin issue but we need the same savior.

Inspirational 🚚 🚚 🚚

This autobiographical book is a synopsis of Chad Bird's journey from extreme highs to devastating lows in his personal and professional (seminary professor) life. I found it to be very engaging and the parallels between his life and Scripture as he runs from and to God. He holds nothing back.

Trevor Thompson has the perfect voice to narrate the story.

While this is a religious account, it is not 'in your face' or judgmental. Thought-provoking is the phrase that comes to mind...

Great story... find a better performance

The account is well worth listening to... the narrator not so much. The narrator will give you a headache

Excellent Good News

Wow the chapters on repentance and forgiveness are so good. How could we not rejoice at such good news. The whole book is very good. That I am repented forgiven and beloved by Jesus is too big a thought to keep in my head. I will definitely return to listen again.
