I’ve been enjoying your readings on the Internet Archive. Thank you very much. I particularly enjoyed the reading of Underhill’s Mysticism. I’ve been meaning to read it on my own for years. With your help I finally have. Take care, Mark

Love the reading of Pilgrim’s Progress. I am doing an updated English version in Creative Commons, interested? I’m at the 5th stage, so you know how far I have to go… But I also know how long and hard recordings are. I will check back with ya later

Just down loaded “The Pilgrim’s Progress” from librivox. That’s for making this possible.

Am I so glad I found this web page - Dear Joy, I have been into audiobooks for a few years now and once I stumbled upon the Librivox collection, not all of them are read to my liking (none have i listened to in full) but I listened to your reading of Oscar Wilde's 'The Happy Prince' and I almost went crazy, you have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my LIFE. (EXtraordinary combination of Chinese, English and Australian accents!) So I listened to a few of the stories from 'The Happy Prince' and then forgot all about it for - probably over a year. Today I am ambling around, doing some fragmented itinerant internet research after getting back into a book I like called 'The Uses of Enchantment' by Bruno Bettelheim, I was lead to looking for a digital copie(s) of 'Arabian Nights', I came across various other resources on archive.org and references to authors and fairy tales, I decided that I ought to also re-acquaint myself with some English stories, as I am English, and since I can't really recall many specifically english tales, so I went up on iTunes and searched for 'story telling' and 'english folk tales' and eventually 'english fairy tales' yielded one of your librivox projects - I was overjoyed, something I was looking for plus it was read by your voice! I hadn't bothered to look to see if you'd read anything else other than that Wilde book before. So now I'm downloading 'English Fairy Tales', 'Mysticism- A Study in Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness', 'Stories of King Arthur and His Knights' and 'Tristan and Iseult' as they seem as if they'd hold some interest for me. You have been gifted with extraordinary physiognomy in possessing such a graceful and evocative speaking voice, this has clearly not escaped the perception of many of your other guestbook visitors and I'd like to thank you, for my part, for sharing it with us. Indeed your name 'Joy' is most auspicious as you can easily facilitate auditory felicity in all who have the fortune to acquire your recordings. Had a look for you on Facebook (not sure if you use that) but there are lots of Joy Chans - and I don't know what you look like. How about posting us a photo of you on your blog?

Hello Joy,
I have been having an awful week and the bright spot in it has been listening to your recording of Tristan and Iseult at work. This was only the second audio book I’ve ever listened to and I don’t think I could have enjoyed the story any more if I’d actually read it. You have a beautiful voice, thank you for doing these recordings. I look forward to listening to the other books you’ve done. –Katie

hello,
i stumbled across your audio versions of murray’s absolute surrender at librivox, and was absolutely delighted! i am now currently listening to ‘with Christ in the school of prayer’ as i fall asleep in the evenings. thank you so much for making these incredible classic christian works available in this format.
i do have one small question, where exactly are you from? or maybe i ask, where exactly do you live? i only ask because i can’t quite place the accent. i’ve read something somewhere here about australia, does that mean it is your home country? just curious…
may Jesus richly bless you as you read His word to the world!

Thank you Joy, first of all, I love your beautiful voice! It is such a pleasure to listen to Pilgrim’s Journey narrated by you. Where ever you are at, I wish we could be penpal buddies. Well, I’ll get back to finish listening to rest of the chapters. Peace to you and God bless.

Hi Joy,
Just finished listening to your recording of Holy War by John Bunyon on librivox. You read it so beautifully and made that old English flow — thank you!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to check out the other Andrew Murray books, if you haven’t already. I will definitely add “The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life” to my list of future books. It looks really good. Thanks for the suggestion

Hello Joy,
I have been greatly blessed by “Absolute Surrender”. Your delivery seems almost as though you are speaking instead of reading. Would you consider reading another favorite book of mine, “The Christian’s Secret of a happy Life” by Hannah Whitall Smith?
regards, Jerry

Hi, Joy.

I had the pleasure of listening to your recording of Pilgrim’s Progress about a year ago, I think, and enjoyed it immensely. I recently purchased a copy of the book and a study guide for a closer reading and was surprised to find that as soon as I started to read, I heard your voice in my head speaking those wonderful words! What an unexpected pleasure. I suppose you will forever be the “voice” of Pilgrim’s Progress for me. Thank you for your work, and I look forward to checking out other titles you have recorded.

God bless, Tina LoTufo

Hmm.. don’t know why the link is not showing up on that page. Will have to investigate. It has been archived, but should still be visible here. The direct link seems to work: http://viedecousu.com/category/audiobooks/bunyan-john/pilgrims-progress
There is a post there with a link to the Librivox page (which in turn has links to the Internet Archive page, bitTorrent file etc.)

Hi Joy,
Am trying to find your podcast of “Pligrim’s Progress”. Wanted to point some others to it. Can’t find it on list of audio books. Has it been moved to Internet Archive?
Thanks.
