HOLY ENVY Finding God in the Faith of Others

Narrator Hillary Huber delivers a cogent and heartfelt narration of bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylor's beautiful and timely new audiobook. As the theology teacher and former Episcopal priest describes her experiences teaching comparative religion in rural Georgia, her memoir also serves as a deep consideration of what the world's faiths have to teach both the religious and the non-religious. A natural preacher, Taylor writes with an eye for visual detail and plotline. Huber's friendly, rhythmic, Southern-tinged tone highlights Taylor's gift for storytelling. In addition, Huber's clarity and attention to punctuation and pacing emphasize Taylor's excellent writing, which is both accessible and lovely. As Taylor and her students visit temples, mosques, churches, synagogues, and sacred groves, they, and we, are reminded of the humanness of all religions.
