I'm Proud of You pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

From Publishers Weekly Warning stickers should be attached to this audiobook warning people not to listen while driving or operating heavy machinery. Only Oscar the Grouch could resist weeping during this affecting tale of the unlikely friendship between children's television host Fred Rogers and Texas journalist Madigan. After writing a profile of Rogers， the two began to correspond. With Rogers's help， Madigan began to find emotional healing from old wounds and to repair broken relationships. Baskous narrates with a voice that is warm， deep and， well， neighborly. At times he slips into an inexplicable Southern accent， which fits neither the Minnesota-bred Madigan or the Pittsburgh-based Rogers， but the rich and smooth cadences of his narration bring Madigan's remembrances to life. The uplifting nature of the memoir and the satisfying tenderness of Baskous's interpretation will make this a welcome gift for anyone who has struggled with depression or loss.

From Bookmarks Magazine The title of this memoir derives from Tim Madigan's request to Mister Rogers: "Will you be proud of me?" Rogers said yes， of course， and thanked Madigan for "offering so much of yourself to me." Although I'm Proud of You could have fallen into Hallmark treacle， it instead compassionately recounts the spiritual friendship that developed between the two men and offers a portrait of Rogers's exemplary character. Especially poignant are Madigan's recounting of his personal visits with Rogers and his difficult relationship with his brother. "It's here that Madigan writes most powerfully， with raw， universal emotion，" notes the New York Times Book Review. Even if the memoir's message is familiar (a few critics compared the book to Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie)， it is an inspiration on many levels.Copyright © 2004 Phillips & Nelson Media， Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
