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.

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.
