You're right, listening is a useful discipline. Yes, they heard God’s Word proclaimed for hours at a time. You’re right, listening is a useful discipline.

I couldn't find the same one that we have but here is a link to one very similar (it has a different narrator for the Old Testament) <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?event=AFF&p=1153551&item_no=775840" rel="nofollow">KJV Complete Audio Holy Bible</a>. <i>This is an affiliate link, if you purchase something through this link I will earn a small commission. :)</i> Hope you find something that works better for you.

I have been listening in the mornings while I am getting breakfast together, plus when I fold laundry. Scripture refers to faith coming through *hearing* God's word. We sometimes forget that for many generations God's people heard His word proclaimed. Listening carefully can be a useful discipline which can even lead us to some new insights. :) I am also listening to the Bible on audio CD right now.

It has been a warning to me, so many kings started out faithful and then fell away. I pray the Lord will keep me faithful till the end.

Praise the Lord! Interesting to me is what happened this morning as I started reading the Psalms. I have read silently all along - except for some of the lists of names where I became aware I was kind of glossing over them as my eyes glazed over. I disciplined myself to read those aloud - or to warp and butcher them aloud, which I think is much more accurate! :-) But this morning as I settled in to Psalm 1, I found myself reading aloud. (That's the passage our Keepers at Home group memorized this year ~ it's an old friend to me.) But then I heard Psalm 2 rolling through my kitchen, and then Psalm 3, and... I rejoiced in the words of praise and affirmation of God's goodness; I whispered in humility along with the expressions of dependence on God; I flinched from the words of accusation of abandonment, yet heard their echo in my heart. I feel drained - and refreshed - and eager to meet again tomorrow with the God of the Psalms, to again peek through this window into my heart and to hurl myself and ALL my emotions into the arms of a God who is not threatened by the confused mess within me. Thank you for your prayers - God is at work in me. Praying for you, Kimberly - and ALL you sisters whom I won't meet till Glory! On track. Praise the Lord!

We got one on markdown, but the reader grates on my nerves! My extended family and I are all getting such a kick out of your blog. It's such an encouragement. Thank you for your work.

And I agree: It's nice to hear the expression. I listened through Leviticus (!) and it helped so much. My CDs have helped me, too. And I agree: It’s nice to hear the expression.
