AudioBooks continued:
Part 2
Our first audio Bible was a huge case of 72 cassettes I’ve passed those on to one of our daughters and purchased an inexpensive mp3 version (only THREE CD’s) read by Steven Johnston. However, I feel like I’m listening to speed reading – so fast I can’t keep up. But nothing beats Alexander Scourby reading the KJV for an audio Bible. Scourby’s version will be available inexpensively on mp3 in July. George Sarris is good too, and James Earl Jones.
I must mention a few more series of audios we enjoy. I’ll refrain from listing teaching audios, since my list would never be finished then. A Treasury of Beatrix Potter is a delight for the youngest ones. In History (keeping to “storytelling”, not just “teaching”), for the older younger children there are the Historical Devotional CD’s by Little Bear Wheeler telling U.S. History with a Biblical application. For the older there are Diana Waring’s What in the World’s Going on Here CD overview of World History. As well as Peter Marshall’s books, already mentioned.
Others I hope to get on audio, that we have enjoyed in print are the Anne of Green Gables series.
I’ve linked several sources I’ve checked into or downloaded or purchased from below. There are many more. And a bit of info about the items I have linked through our site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christian Classic Ethereal Library – is one of my favorite places for online texts of Christian Classic books. They also have some of them in audio download format.
OnePlace – is a great place for free Christian downloads, from the radio programs of many different ministries, including Adventures in Odyssey. I found many of the sermon/teaching podcasts I enjoy here. There are also many you can listen to online.
SermonAudio – has the “largest library of free mp3 audio sermons on the web – both current and classic. This is great! many selections from Mount Olive Tape Library are linked to SermonAudio.
Sermon Index – has classical vintage audio sermons – this one has Keith Green’s sermons – and Edwards, Spurgeon, Tozer, Pink, Comfort, Ravenhill and many more.
I’ll probably post more specific sermon sites on my Clear Vision blog at another time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The links below have more Classic audiobooks, in varying formats, but you will have to do much wading through to find good stuff.
Christian Audio – carries about the same titles you can get from us. However, they have a subscription program that can save you some money if you order monthly, and also every month they have a FREE download, for anyone. Be aware that “Christian” in its name does not mean all their titles line up with Biblical Christianity.
Librivox – has free audiobook downloads read by real human volunteers.
Audible – is a member based download service for purchasing audio books, that play on your computer or portable audio devise – ipod, Palm, etc.
Audiofy – is a site for purchasing books on digital cards/chips that can be played on pda’s, your computer (with a USB adapter), or an inexpensive Audiofy player. Chip a Day will sell you a different one each day, at a discount. I doubt you’ll be tempted every day by their fare. But when a good one comes along, you’ll get a good price.
Learn Out Loud – is a one-stop place to find audio books – it links to most of the other places listed here for purchasing or free downloads.
Free Classic AudioBooks and Free Christian AudioBooks – these ones are free, but they are also computer read.
And even Amazon has Christian Audio Classics.
And now I must stop with links for today. The Bible is available to download for free from many places, in many versions, But I won’t post links today, as this is geting too long (and taking too much time).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and My House (that’s us) has over 3000 audio books available including Blackstone, Adventures in Odyssey, Radio Theatre, the Bible on CD, Classic Literature, through our Afflicate with CBD. Most of these are at a discount. If the series/book you’re looking for isn’t linked here, you can enter the title your interested in in the search box for CBD in our sidebar. Once at CBD you may want to search “Hovel” by Publisher, to see many “Christian” audiobooks, but not all are recommended or Christian.
Here’s a bit more info about the items we’ve linked to.
Focus on the Family produces both Radio Theatre – great literature on tape and CD, and Adventures in Odyssey – the Christian children’s program.
Blackstone Audio was the first place we began buying classics on cassette from. The readers usually have a great English accent. I love these. In addition to tapes and CD’s they now have many books in mp3 format on CD, and digital download available (from Audible).
