So, i went to a job fair today… i’m not really a job fair kind of guy, to be honest… the main reason i went today is because it was a smaller venue and it promised a closed, invitation-only attendance policy to limit the number of candidates and maximize the face time with the companies represented… i have plenty more to say about this, but not right now… for now, i want to talk about a product that spans generations…
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Word of Promise Next Generation – New Testament: Dramatized Audio Bible
I’ve been a slow adopter of audiobooks… it kind of feels like i’m cheating, but every now and again, i’ll decide that it’s a good idea to listen to a book that i don’t have time to read or that i just can’t seem to bring myself to read… usually it has something to do with the book being in hardcover format and being ridiculously too large for me to bear to carry around with me or something like that… anyway, i’m off-track…
here’s a book that everyone should read and it’s also one that is big and one that many of us claim to not have the time for… and while i still don’t think that the audiobook format will ever hold a candle to actually holding a book in your hands and letting your eyes do the work of reading each and every word, this proves to be a rather nice complementary piece to reading the Bible… as a general rule of thumb, the more senses you can engage, the more likely you are to remember the text later and this is a fun way to engage your aural synapses…
As an added bonus, my boys have really taken to the idea that “kids” are reading the Bible to them from my iPod – and they don’t even know any of the actors and artists involved… I can only imagine how much more appealing it would be if they recognized the faces on the cover… regardless, they often ask to listen to the Bible and it’s become a neat way to reinforce the Scriptures with them… good stuff…
Anyway, the collection comes as a 3-disc set with a bonus DVD detailing the making of the project and all-in-all, it’s worth checking out… even if you’re not entirely sold on audiobooks quite yet…
peace… love… bdg…
