I loved this book until I got to the very end . . . and found out it was abridged! I do not generally check out abridgements, preferring the author's full text. I've just looked at the description and it clearly says, "Edition - Unabridged." Grrr.

I've now checked out the revised edition which is ten hours long . . . So I'll blog that at the end of this once I've finished.

This book is fascinating and fantastic. God's grace is truly too often overlooked or ignored. Some of his stories were hard to hear (a prostitute selling time with her two-year-old daughter . . . ) but others were quite familiar. He told stories about his own mother and grandmother, without acknowledging the relationship (I only know because I've read his memoir). 

I didn't jot down any notes or quotes, but perhaps I'll capture some when I listen to the full-length version.
