You’ve Never Met Anyone Like Jesus Christ

Jesus truly is the centerpiece of history. Some people think he’s mostly myth. Others say he was a great moral teacher. But the Jesus who emerges in the Bible is a compelling, strikingly real person who claims to be Savior and God, and the credentials he furnishes set him apart from every other religious figure alive or dead. The Life of Christ will help you get to know him well as you revisit his words, his actions, and the world he lived in.

This dramatized audio edition of the Gospel of Luke brings out the rich, carefully researched details that have secured Luke’s reputation as a preeminent historian. Beginning with the circumstances that surrounded Jesus’ birth, from the political to the prophetic, Luke traces the footsteps of Jesus from his childhood to his ministry years to his death on the cross . . . And to history’s most stunning event, his resurrection.

Featuring an introduction by award-winning author and journalist Lee Strobel, The Life of Christ is beautifully orchestrated and engineered using the most advanced recording technology. This is more than a book of the Bible you listen to. It’s an experience that helps you enter into God’s Word . . . So God’s Word can enter into you.

Tales of Beatrix Potter

Thursday, May 8th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

“Nadia May’s dramatization is very good. Peter Rabbit is young and reckless, Squirrel
Nutkin as rude as can be, the cats sound dangerous, and the mice in “The Tailor of Gloucester”well,
they sound just like the most sociable mice I know.”AudioFile

This collection of eighteen of Beatrix Potter’s charming stories about Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, Squirrel Nutkin,
Mrs. Tittlemouse, and the others have enchanted children for over a hundred years and will surely do so well
into the future. Beatrix Potter’s tales were often connected with real places, people, or animals, so each story
also includes a brief introductory note about its history.

Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) born in Kensington Square, London, England, was raised by governesses and nurses, with little interaction with her parents. Alone in the third floor nursery, she spent her time studying and sketching the small animals that were her closest companions. Her brother Bertram was born six years later and for a time they became inseperable companions. In the summers the Potter rented a house in the Scottish highlands and here the children would spend joyous hours exploring the countryside, gathering plants, insects, rocks and fossils.

Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
