Excellent book! Outstanding Narrator!! I can't say enough! It is a heartwarming story that a single, humble, person can effect so much change. And the voice of the narrator leads you into the story and won't let you go!

Never back down

Would you consider the audio edition of Mighty Be Our Powers to be better than the print version?

Madam Gbowee in every strugle there is peace to come, as i Arthur listening to your book on audiobook I cried as a 9 months old baby is it because your story is the same as mine.There is no fiction, false statement or editting to make it consummerable but a very true Liberian war story.I thank you for your hard work. Remember not anyone can be a Leader but the leader can come from anyone.

Strange How Little We Know of the World

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a must read. No matter how educated we are as part of the free world, we do not fully understand our world. Human beings are capable of some horrible things but this book is a great example of the good in those who have the courage to change their destiny and that of a nation. This happened and how funny we do not have any idea it even happened.

What other book might you compare Mighty Be Our Powers to and why?

This is a book all its own. You can't compare one woman's tale to another because there are so many similarities but vast differences as exemplified by Leyma Gbowee's story.

Which character – as performed by Kimberly Scott – was your favorite?

Leyma Gbowee, though I've heard Leyman's actual voice. I liked that Ms Scott didn't fake a Liberian accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

A great moment to self evaluate after reading this.

will definitely listen over and over. Gbowee's story not only captures you with its'horrors and heroism, she teaches critically important lessons on making peace through healing and reconciliation. in a world wracked by violence, war and trauma, her book and the work she continues, shows us the way back to being compassionate and living in peace.

Leymah

Warts and all indeed

This is definitely not for those "readers" who like heroes in the abstract and put their idols on a pedestal. The book does a great job fleshing out Gbowee and those close to her, as well as their struggles. Interestingly enough, however, I had the feeling Gbowee was not completely at peace with the choices she made, and her explanations about why she made those choices oddly felt more like excuses rather than the objective analyses she clearly intended. But what is undeniable is how heroic her journey was, and if her story has brought her down to earth in my eyes, she is an inspiration for everyone. I hope Gbowee herself eventually comes to terms with her decisions.

The narration was competent enough, but the pronounced lisp did get on my nerves. As a longtime subscriber to Audible, I am still baffled by the low standards publishers have for the narrators.

Leyman Ghobwee's with Kimberly Scott Narration

Leyman Gbowee's resiliency and strength delivered through the brilliant narration of Kimberly Scott is powerful.

Incredible book!

I completed this book within 24 hours of starting it. I feel personally connected to Leymah and the stories she so vulnerably shared, I cried through the last few chapters, the pain and the triumph are inspiring. I am grateful also for the education on something I’m ashamed to admit I knew nothing about.

Powerful. Inspiring.

This was such a powerful and inspiring book. An amazing journey of a brave and determined woman.

Brilliant - couldn't stop listening

LOVED it. An incredible story of faith, family and sisterhood. Very inspirational. I laughed and I cried. Also loved learning so much about Liberia. Can't recommend enough
