Iv really enjoyed listening to Podcasted sermons while driving to and from work, this could be a great way to make my “teaching playlist” more versatile.

Besides who want’s to read a book while driving, i’m pretty sure it’s illegal.

Grabbed myself the free New Testament just recently – good work on the site and your tweetering, have been really enjoying reading (I should probably post more!).

One of the most fascinating audio books I’ve listened to was Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell & Don Golden. (Would prefer to leave discussion of its theological content for another time and place).

I found the recording style quite unique. The two authors take it in turns to read chunks of the book and add extra comments throughout. Rob Bell writes in a conversational style, which makes an audio version feel quite natural.

It was a very palatable way to “read” a book.

Thanks Steve. I’ve never quite gotten into the audio book thing in the past. Maybe it’s time to give it a try!

Audio books have been a joy to me ever since I discovered Audible.com. There’s not too much Christian material on that site though, so I’m glad that you’ve pointed us to ChristianAudio.com.

Had a quick Google for the God’s Word translation that is the free download of the month. It is apparently a pretty loose translation, based on a variation of the dynamic equivalence principle; that probably makes it fine for listening in the car, but I would personally run back to my NASB to check out anything I learned from it.

I notice that they have a large collection of books on Theology. Cool!
