It is like “War and Peace” when I read it the scenes move before my eyes.

I know it would be very long, but my suggestion is a book about the history of the faith like God Passes By.

Thanks Mary,

We are so glad you and your husband are finding this service to be of value. It is our intention to expand into the historical texts of the faith as well. Those stories are just begging to be made into audio. We look forward to sharing them with you in the not too distant future.

My husband, a long-time Baha’i, is losing his eyesight to macular degeneration. It is wonderful to be able to provide a way he can still be inspired by the writings of the Faith. I hope, once you have translated the books of the central figures of the covenant, you will be able to publish the inspirational books on the early believers, such as “The Delight of Hearts, The Memoirs of Haji Mirza Haydar Ali”, translated and abridged by A. Q. Faizi, ISBN 0-933770-11-1. As isolated homefront pioneers we find the early stories of the central figures, early believers and pioneering stories to be of great value to individual and community alike. A light in the sometimes darkness.

Some Answered Questions is also the book that I’ve been thinking would be great to walk around listening to. But really, I’m just so happy with this development that I don’t mind which order you record and release them in, as long as you do all of them in the fullness of time. Thank you!!!!

So I would recommend Some Answered Questions as the next publication. It would be a Godsend..

I listen to audiobooks ALL THE TIME, and I’ve often thought about how that would be my number ONE choice for a Bahai audiobook.

“Release the Sun” basically takes “The Dawnbreakers” and distills it down, leaving a much shorter (much more manageable and less intimidating), and unbelievably powerful narrative. Would certainly make for an amazing audiobook.

Also, I second “Portals to Freedom.” It would also make a fantastic audiobook.

Last thought – I’ve listened to quite a bit of the Baha’u’llah’s writings in audio format (from various sources). Sometimes it’s perfect, but I often opt to wait to read the sacred writings at a slow, deliberate pace, without public, driving, or other distractions. For this reason, I am MUCH more interested in having other Bahai related books turned into audio format. For example, Revelation of Baha’u’llah by Teherzadeh could also be great. The point being this: moving stories, inspiring narrative, informative history, uplifting discussions are all perfect for listening while I walk the dog, ride the bus, or drive. Listening to the direct Word of God, however, is better if I am alone, and completely focused. Truth is, I usually don’t listen to books in such a state . . . I read instead. (I feel the same way about Shoghi Effendi’s writings, but for a different reason . . . it’s not direct revelation, but his manner of writing requires closer study and contemplation, rather than casual listening).

My 2 cents.
