The Silent Gift Audiobook

" I have to admit I really enjoyed this book even though I did cry during parts of it. The story centers around Jack who is deaf and mute and has a gift of predicting the future by writing down bible verse numbers that would lead to a passage applicable to someone's situation. Just when you think it couldn't get worse for Jack and his mother, the situation turns dire and you wonder how this family can make it. Mary, Jack's mother, finds strength to continue. All in all, this is a very heartwarming tale. I will definitely look for more of this author's work. I received this book from the publisher. "

" Best book I have read in a long time! "

" Very touching story. It catches your attention with the first words. I loved it. "

" Liked the story, easy read. "

" There were a couple of parts that I thought were a little strange but otherwise I liked it. "

" Good book. How often we think God does not care or doubt He exists. This book speaks to that and more. Great ending. "

" This book is heart wrenching but I loved it! I couldn't put it down once I started it. "

" Loved this book and it would make a really good hallmark movie written and directed by Michael Landon Jr. "

" I really liked this book. It was a story that tugged at my heart and I had to know things would work out. It didn't work out as I thought it would and that's a good thing. We don't always want to read the expected. "

" Moving. Easy read. Worthwhile Christian fiction. "

" I loved this book. It is a wonderful story filled with mystery, anticipation, excitement, and above all....love. "

" I really liked this book. It was not what i was expecting the way that it ended. But i still liked the book, and it was a quick read. "

" This book was good. Not too violent, not any offensive language, but was definitely intense and hard to put down. "

" Though I am a religiious person, I really did not like this book. There is, in literature, a need for "suspension of disbelief" in an unlikely plot. I just could not get past the basic premise of the book or some of the too-good-to-be-true coincidences. "

" This plot is too contrived for my taste. It is predictable and shallow. I was very disappointed in the book. "

" This books was so depressing... too many sad things happened to this family... "

" This was a very touching story. The author draws you in. It was hard to put down. "

" This book was really good! It's a good mix of heart-warming, frustrating, and then back to heart-warming again. I enjoyed it all the way through. "

" Wish I could give this book 7 stars. Absolutly wonderful story. Couldn't put it down. "

" I like books set in the early 1900's. This was a touching book about a mother's love, and the length she will go for her child. I liked all the different characters that Mary and Jack came in contact with. Some of them even surprised me. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It provided a very good discussion for my book discussion group. "

" Very good could hardly put it down "

" I was going to give this 3 stars, but the last few pages really caught me. It brought tears to my eyes. The mother's emotional struggle to do right for her child, at any cost was extremely powerful. This book reminds us that people should never underestimate the bond between a mother and a child. "

" I like the dynamic relationship between mother and son. Not your norm but I truly enjoyed. "

" Quick read. Author is very imaginative. I enjoyed it. "

" How can a gift be lived in a way to that protects the guilty and harms the innocent? This is not a "comfortable" book. It's a little on the dark side for me. The characters portrayed as "good" are too flawed, while the bad guys have no redeeming qualities. "

" It's a really quick read. "
