Good let's me make up my own mind
author: Craig
I thought this CD rocked! I like the fact that the dude doesn't tell us what to think, but just let's these stories be whatever I want them 2 be. The website that goes with the CD had more stuff on it and that helps to figure it out. I never thought I'd like a CD with storytelling. It was good.

Liked the stories where the point was a little more obvious
author: Justin
The stories that had a clear, intriguing point, like the Story of David and Uriah or about the boy who held the hat his father gave him close to his heart, were most poignant and made the greatest impact. The story about the rooster was kind of silly, and immature, even for teenage guys. At the end I was asking myself, "what the heck was that about, and I really don't care enough to think about it anymore." I felt the same about the story of the hairy man in the lake. It says at the end of the story, "we'll save the end for another time" but it never finishes, never explained why people where dying when they first went into the forest, and what made the whiny kid want his ball so badly. On a positive note, the story-telling is very good, as long as he doesn't over do it on the fake voices, like the rooster crow which comes off ridiculous and takes away from the story-teller's credibility because it's so silly.
I really respect what you are doing and please continue to do so as both teenage boys and girls need as much discipleship in Christ as we can offer.

"I can't thank you enough. . ."
author: Judith Black
"I can't thank you enough for the CD you shared with me in Arizona. It not only speaks to it's audience, it tells me an enormous amount about you, your roots, passions, and mission. "Drunk Mr. Daniels" is a brilliant piece that captures the psyche of young man under duress. Because you begin in such a clear and honest place it truly does lead us to other possibilities. "Grey's Hat" was also such a loving appreciation of the threads that keep us human and how we can honor them in one another. Thank-you. As for King David 'A man of G-d and all that' what a perfect story for teenage boys who, I am sure live in the shadow of David's lust every minute of their lives. Ah, turning old can finally release them to their heart and mind making those primary decisions in their lives, but how important to know that their struggles are as old as the Book. What a prince you are."-Judith Black
