I Still Do : Growing Closer and Stronger Through Life's Defining Moments
Dave Harvey · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Al Kessel
74/100
👍 Worth It
Dave Harvey names the recurring hard moments of a long marriage - blame, suffering, disappointment, the empty nest - and frames them as gospel-centered growth points rather than warning signs, backed by real pastoral and marital mileage. The Gospel Coalition gave it a solid, substantive review, which carries real weight in this space; Al Kessel narrates without much independent feedback to go on, but the material itself is strong enough to carry the listen.
