About this listen
Vietnam Abyss: A Journal of Unmerited Grace is the inspiring true story of Michael J. Snook, a Vietnam veteran, who served in the US Army and after returning home from the war descended into the darkness of chronic and debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developing severe alcoholism, he becomes insane and experiences multiple confinements in a Veterans Administration psychiatric ward. Later after encountering an “angel” and through his perseverance and participation in PTSD counseling sessions and with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Michael fully recovers and becomes a born-again Christian and a certified minister. From a life of shattered dreams and broken promises, his wounded soul heals, and he comes out of the dark abyss and begins to shine for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customized approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.

Story5 out of 5 stars 25
Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How on earth did things get so hard?” I have—more times than I can count. I’ll never forget how helpless I felt when it seemed like our life was falling apart, when our oldest daughter faced seemingly endless brushes with death, or when our finances were in shambles. In those moments, I felt everything I’d ever dreamed of, or God had ever promised, was shattering at my feet. But I’ll also never forget when things changed, when on the darkest of days I heard a voice whisper, “There is beauty in the broken.”

In This Life I Live, Rory Feek helps us not only to connect more fully to his and Joey’s story but also to our own journeys. He shows what can happen when we are fully open in life’s key moments, whether when meeting our life companion or tackling an unexpected tragedy. He also gives never-before-revealed details on their life together and what he calls “the long goodbye,” the blessing of being able to know that life is going to end and taking advantage of it.

World renowned and critically acclaimed Hip-Hop artist, Malice of the Clipse had achieved what many would consider the "America Dream". Coming from modest beginnings in Virginia Beach to acquiring a life of splender and luxury, it would seem to any "outsider looking in" that things could not be anymore complete.

solid outside narration for a memoir
It always feels a little jarring to me when memoirs (or in this case, diaries) aren't narrated by the author - after all, who can voice their own story better? But Seybert did a good job, and didn't come off as if he were reading someone else's words at all, to the point that I would often forget that the book *wasn't* narrated by the author himself.

The Aftereffects of War
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of Vietnam Abyss A Journal of Unmerited Grace, by Michael Snook, Stan Corvin and narrated by Jim Seybert. This book provided great insight into what our American war heroes go through and have gone through in the wars and battles in our history. It is a good thought provoking story that helps me better understand the challenges these men and women go through. Jim of course narrated the story is a superlative manner. His pace and inflection fit the story to a tee.
