Drink Deeply

As an editor, I approached 'Drink Deeply' with a mix of curiosity and trepidation - how would a 17th-century spiritual treatise hold up to modern ears? Jonathan St. John's narration was a revelation, bringing Flavel's words to life with a sense of urgency and passion that's hard to put down. Flavel's emphasis on the importance of Scripture in our lives feels both timeless and timely, and St. John's measured delivery allows each phrase to sink in without feeling rushed. One of the things that struck me about 'Drink Deeply' was its willingness to confront difficult questions and doubts head-on. Flavel's exploration of the human condition, where faith and doubt coexist, is both intellectually stimulating and deeply personal. At times, I found myself wanting a bit more nuance in St. John's portrayal of Flavel's more passionate moments - sometimes, the delivery felt a bit too even, a bit too measured. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise outstanding listening experience. Overall, 'Drink Deeply' is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual practice, and St. John's narration is the perfect complement to Flavel's compelling message.
