After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters Audiobook

" I really like N. T. Wright and this books simply added to that foregone conclusion. It is brilliant again. I love the dry British humor as well. Again, a logical feast showing the important role of good living without the legalistic baggage. Very well done. I am always blessed by his logic and the building of such a coherent argument. "

" Good theology. N.T. Wright never suffers from a lack of content. That said, the book does move a bit slow and, for the first third, I began to feel as if he were trying really hard to simply make a single point. The last half of the book, however, was much more useful and insightful. Wright's greatest work almost always occurs when he is dissecting specific pieces of Scripture. "

" Very good. But I was disappointed at the ending as I hoped he would take me further. Maybe it was just me "

" Good book full of theology. Wished there was more practical information and inspiration. "

" I think this account of Christian virtue ethics is basically the right approach. "

" a good read, but a dense one. N.T. Wright knows his stuff - this book centers on the importance of developing character and virtue. it's a good read, but slow going. "

" This is book has influenced my thinking about my role as a Kingdom citizen more than any other book I have read in the past 10 years. "

" A book that is very challenging. Christian character develops through the repititious actions we choose everyday. This book should be left alone by those who are unwilling to take practical steps in their relational development with God. "

" As with all N T Wright books, it takes some focus to read and follow the line of thought. But as with all N T Wright books, it's brilliant through and through. "

" I got quite a bit of really good stuff from this book, but it was a hard read. I definitely didn't feel that this was one of Wright's best works. It couldn't even compare to "Surprised by Hope" which literally changed my life. However, it still had some really powerful insights in it. "

" Great book with some inspiring concepts, just very hard to read and understand. "

" Good argument but quite redundant. "

" This was a great book detailing ever so clearly the importance of what Christian character is and how it is developed in our hearts and lives. It stresses the need to be free from our cultural enticements if we are going to be images of God and display the Gospel message to the world. "

" An excellent presentation of the "why" of Spiritual Formation. There are some excellent illustrations and overall I've found it to be a good and thought-provoking book. Having said that, it isn't the most readable book. I wish it was 80% as long and generally a little tighter. "

" Excellent though dense, for those looking for a provocative and intellectual read on living a faithfully Christian life. "

" This was the first of many times I expect to read this excellent book about virtue and Christian character. I will be using it as a resource during the Great 50 Days as we preach from 1Peter, concentrating on the impact of the resurrection on our daily lives. N.T. Wright is one of my heroes! "

" I don't think it is one of Wright's better books. However, it still has some good insight into developing Christian virtue. "

" I only found one or two clear premises. The writing was overly wordy and the content kept repeating itself. If you must read the book, reading the first chapter will contain all the information. "

" Very good book that gives you much to think about. "

" How's that for a switch in reading? This book gives me hope...ethics and Christian used together but not as an oxymoron. "
