God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

I like listening to unabridged books while I do relatively mindless tasks. Recently I remembered a long-ago recommendation from Justin Taylor and I began downloading audiobooks from LibriVox, where they offer “acoustical liberation of books in the public domain.”

All the books are read by volunteers. I suspect that means a range in quality, but so far, everything I’ve dipped into has been very well done. I’ve tested a few and listened all the way through to Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton and Jewish Children by Shalom Aleichem.

There are 1,476 listings in the catalog, with more being added as volunteers finish them. I see lots of good “reading” ahead—Dante, Defoe, Descartes, Dickens, Dickinson, Mary Mapes Dodge, Dostoyevsky, Frederick Douglass, and Arthur Conan Doyle, to name a few from just one letter of the alphabet.

Of course, I mustn’t leave this topic without a reminder of the all the free audio resources from my favorite author, available here at Desiring God.
