Indescribable: Encountering the Glory of God in the Beauty of the Universe

Louie Giglio and Matt Redman, read by the authors. Oasis Audio, unabridged, two CDs, 2 hrs., $12.99 ISBN 978-1-61375-014-8

Pastor Giglio and songwriter Redman narrate this audio edition of their exploration of religious devotion, astronomy, and God. Giglio%E2%80%94perhaps in an attempt to compensate for the lack of full-color photographs of cosmic entities contained in the print edition%E2%80%94offers up an enthusiastic reading, very often sounding much like an awestruck child. At times, this one-note performance becomes a little grating, but, at its best, Giglio's passion and how he believes astronomy relates to God's glory is infectious. The British Redman provides more narration reminiscent of a conventional lecture. And while he is not as riveting a reader as his American counterpart, the duo produce an audio that is both fascinating and engaging. A David C. Cook paperback. (Nov.)
