Musings of a small-town Missouri Methodist pastor

Something Else To Do!

My wife Jeannie (she of the blog that gets updated a whole lot more frequently than my two blogs) is a book reviewer for Thomas Nelson Publishers; I thought I’d bite the bullet too and go ahead and sign up.

I will be reviewing my first product as soon as I receive it in the mail; it is an audio New Testament in MP3 format with today’s modern teen actors/actresses supplying the voices. It’s called the “Word of Promise Next Generation – New Testament.”

Here’s a link to the site.

I’ll let you know how that pans out. It will be rather interesting to hear another translation of the NT for teens. Myself, I prefer the NIV or KJV. I’d love to get my hands on audio MP3’s or CD’s of either one of those to listen to on my iPhone…free, of course. :)
