Hello Joy,
I enjoyed listening to Pilgrim’s Progress and would like to hear more of your readings (Christian-related). Also some KJV Bible books (how about Esther).
As for fiction, you might consider “Quo Vadis”.
I was glad to see the work in progress on Holy War! I can’t wait till you finish. I have been wanting to revisit this work for years but just never can find the time. Now I can listen while I drive…Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words
The Holy War is definitely on my list to do — the problem is, there are just so many books I’d like to record!
Joy Chan, please consider reading Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross. Thamk you.
Joy, I think you’d be great at reading some of the Bible: Song of Solomon, some of the Psalms, the Gospels, St. Paul.
Joy,
A book I would love for you to read is The Coming Prince by Sir Robert Anderson!
I love Pilgrim’s Progress and Absolute Surrender etc.
Thanks for your wonderful work!

You’re doing a great job, Ms Chan. I’m an Aussie (Melbourne, then Adelaide) who is currently studying Church History at Regent College, Vancouver in Canada. I’m doing the Puritans with JI Packer this coming term, and Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the prescribed readings. I have found your reading immeasurably helpful in truly soaking up this beautiful work. I am VERY eager to listen to your recording of Underhill… of course, I’ll have to wait until classes end!
Greetings,
I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for recording “Prilgrim’s Progress” for Librivox.
That was one of the first books I listened to once I discovered the website. I have wanted to read Pilgrim’s Progress but just never got around to it over the years. So what a nice surprise to find it on Librivox.
Also it was nice to find another Christian.
Abundant Blessings to you.
