ChristianAudio Free Audiobook of the Month -- exp 31 Jan

• FREE -- Common English Bible -- various authors -- various narrators (75 hrs)

Listening to the Bible will change the way you understand scripture. The stories and poems and instructions comes in through the ears and consume your whole being as God's word becomes part of a living experience.

The Common English Bible is not simply a revision or update of an existing translation. It is a bold new translation designed to meet the needs of Christians as they work to build a strong and meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

A key goal of the translation team was to make the Bible accessible to a broad range of people; it’s written at a comfortable level for over half of all English readers. As the translators did their work, reading specialists working with seventy-seven reading groups from more than a dozen denominations review the texts and read them aloud to ensure a smooth and natural reading experience. Easy readability can enhance church worship and participation, and personal Bible study. It also encourages children and youth to discover the Bible for themselves, perhaps for the very first time.

LearnOutLoud Free Audiobook of the Month -- exp 31 Jan

• FREE -- Greatest Thing in the World -- Henry Drummond -- read by Seth Anderson (50 min)

Listen to our audio book about The Greatest Thing in the World by Henry Drummond. Written in 1880 by Scottish evangelist Henry Drummond, The Greatest Thing in the World draws its message from the Apostle Paul's argument that love is man's true path to God. Using a key text from 1st Corinthians, Drummond argues that while there are many virtuous emotions we all must practice cultivating in order to live a fuller life, none is more paramount than a loving outlook. With an urgent passion that bespeaks the era in which he lived, Drummond testifies that if we only take a little more time each day to operate from a basis of loving kindness, others will notice and be attracted to our living example.

The last title is by Arthur W. Pink. That wouldn't matter if a person just followed the link. However, some people might try to look up information on the book first, as in the case of yours truly. ha

Pink is an older author. The other authors are more-or-less contemporary with us. I say that to let people know that there is not going to be anything cutting edge in Pink's book. However, what he does cover will be useful, imho.

Does this belong in "Christian Interest" or does this belong in "Audiobooks"? One of the great mysteries of the ages. ha

The Great Courses currently has Life and Writing of C.S. Lewis at the lowest price that I ever remember seeing it--only $8.95. That's the price for the audio download. They also have a CD version, which is $12.95.

It is approximately 6 hours long (12 lectures, 30 minutes each). It's rated 3.9, from 129 reviews so far.

Here's a partial description (the full one is_ W A A A Y _too long):
What is it about British literary scholar and author C. S. Lewis—the Oxbridge don and self-described "very ordinary layman of the Church of England"—that touches millions of readers so deeply, making him the most widely read Christian spokesman of our time? In these lectures you will cover Lewis's spiritual autobiography and other creative works, as well as his scholarly writings that reflect on pain and grief, love and friendship, prophecy and miracles, and education and mythology.

Here's the webpage where you can grab the deal or find out much more about the course. Now if you're not familiar with The Great Courses, they always have several different prices on a given course at one time, which are tied to an equal number of "priority codes" (promo codes). Make sure that you use Priority Code 123221. It's all-important. If the price that I gave is not on the webpage, make sure that you enter the code at checkout.

The sale ends at the stroke of midnight tomorrow (Sunday).
