Enlightening and Challenging

Having heard Ralph Martin's seminars, it took a while to get used to the narrator. However once I got rhythm of his speech I really enjoyed it and found the books content enlightening and challenging.

A great writing for a genuine spiritual growth

Where does The Fulfillment of All Desire rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best writings and guides for my spiritual growth.

What did you like best about this story?

The author brings together spiritual experiences of the greatest Doctors of Catholic Church who present me the Wisdom they have gained from God on their roads of finding Living God in their lives: St Therese of Lisieux, St John of the Cross, St Bernard, St Therese of Avila, St Catherine, St Francis.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Difficult to chose a single thing - I was amazed by mere fact of bringing the spiritual experiences of our Saints together in a new way and how they coincide one with another. Sometimes almost identical. If I were to choose a single one thing it would be a warning given by St Teresa of Avila to those who seek seriously spiritual maturity: (paraphrased): "I was misled for many years by my spiritual directors who kept calling no-sinful thing at all something which was in reality a venial sin and a venial-sinful thing that was a in reality a mortal sin until a Dominican priest straightened things out and called mortal sin a mortal sin and venial sin a venial thing. Since that moment my spiritual growth took a new growth."

Any additional comments?

Great thanks to the author who without making of his own "theological and spiritual acrobatics" shows a "proven" way to spiritual maturity by honest study of the Doctors of the Catholic Church.

A Lifelong Companion

Would you listen to The Fulfillment of All Desire again? Why?

You simply have to - so much to glean from which cannot be achieved in simply one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I love this book. Have learned so much. Re-listen often. Feel closer to God.

Amazing Book but one quibble.

This is a very worthwhile book but the entire way through the narrator mispronounced Therese. This made it sound like Teresa which was very confusing and avoidable. The second e in Therese is an a sound. Therayse not Tereese.

Good book, let down by poor narration.

I was reading the physical book whilst listening (it helps me!), and found I got quite irritated by how frequently the narrator makes small mistakes, like simply reading the wrong word, almost on every page there was something, mostly small, but occasionally significant errors which he either didn’t notice, or couldn’t be bothered to correct.

Combined with the awkward intonation, and terrible pronunciation (e.g. tuh-rees of lassoo, for Thérèse of Lisieux!), I will not be listening again and will probably return this.

I will, however, be reading the book again, because in itself it’s WELL worth reading! There’s vast amounts more to say, as Ralph would no doubt be the first to admit, but it’s a good starting point. :) God bless!
