Audible Book Recommendations

[RobertPGH1981]

Hello All,

Just curious to know if there are any Audible subscribers in the Puritan board. Any books you would recommend regarding Christianity (Theological, Apologetic, Historical)?

Thanks,

I have been an avid Audible user for a few months now. It has been a life saver at work. There are a lot of great Reformed works. Here are a few in my library:
Calvin's Institutes
Richard Baxter "The Saint's Everlasting Rest"
John Owen " Of the Mortification of Sins in Believers"
James Dolezal "All That is in God"
Joel Beeke "Living By God's Promises"
George M Marsden "Jonathan Edwards- A Life"
"Life of David Brainerd"
There are also a lot of titles Jeremiah Burroughs, Thomas Watson, John Flavel, Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, J. C. Ryle, Spurgeon.

Romans: The Greatest Letter Ever Written ~ John Piper Sermons (2-3 years)
Cold-Case Christianity
Church History in Plain Language ~ Bruce Shelley
The Lost Letters of Pergamum ~ Bruce W. Longnecker
Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy ~ Metaxas

We have an account, and I get about half of the credits, the other half go for homeschool. I find that I do way better with fiction on Audible, rather than theology — I don't have to rewind nearly as much. The books about Christianity I have "read" on Audible have been more along the lines of more popular works like Bad Religion and The Lost History of Christianity. I tried Religious Affections and I was pretty much in one ear out the other.

And don't forget about Librivox!
I know people complain about the "This is a Librivox recording..."-bit, but hey, it's free!
Excellent versions of:

• Religious affections (Edwards)
  
• Mortification of Sin (Owen)
  
• Around the wicket gate (Spurgeon)
• Grace Abounding to the chief of Sinners (Bunyan)

Thanks for that! I have some of their releases on Audible. Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" is this months free book.

I enjoyed and found profitable Greg Koukl’s ‘Tactics.’

 

[ZackF]

I like J. Warner Wallace’s and his books are on audible also. He nor Koukl are presuppositionalists if that is a must for you.

I would also recommend listening to Bunyan's Holy War audibly.

If your local library subscribes to Hoopla they offer a lot of Christian material for free.

Yours in the Lord,

I recommend Eusebius, The Church History, new translation by Paul L. Maier

I recommend against Church History in Plain Language ~ Bruce Shelley. I did not find this book to be factually accurate and the way this work portrays/downplays Jesus' divinity really troubles me. I find Shelley's work anachronistic.
