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.

“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.
