Advent Audio Book

Pilgrim Year Advent Book Cover

Hi and welcome to this page. Here you can listen to the first book of the audio version of my book series Pilgrim Year which is a seven volume set of reflections based on the Christian calendar year. This is the entire Advent book. Still to be recorded are the Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Ordinary Time books, which we hope to have available later this fall.

Take a listen and use the comments below to let us know what you think. We will definitely get it up on Audible, which is the most used audio-book platform. Let us know if you’d be interested in other platforms. For example, we could put it on a dedicated website with a paywall, or we could put the whole series on CDs. There are other audio book platforms out there as well… let us know what might interest you.

At this point I assume the whole book series will sell for around $24.99 on digital platforms. If folks would like it on CD, we can do that, but the purchase price would be closer to $50 as the series would take up 8 CDs.

Again, let us know what you think. Even if you’re not interested in the project, let us know. We’ll base our marketing efforts on what we think the interest will be.

Thanks for listening.

Steve

    Steve/Dave,

    I LOVE it!!!!! So very well done — I’ll definitely purchase it. Both digitally and as CDs, so perhaps a package price for the two? I definitely want it in both formats and through your auspices rather than on Apple or other source (so that it reflects your faithful intent in releasing these in this format.

    I’ll also gift these to key people in our life too. This is really exciting. Thank you for this!!!

    This is absolutely wonderful, timely. I just listened to “St John of The Cross”…one of my favourites….oh my my yard. I absolutely would love to snag this on audible…and/or…the Independent bookseller audio book platform: Libro.fm….

    Either /or…both!….Yes please please continue on in this part of your journey….
    I have been captivated and reading your Pilgrim year since it was out on ‘ Snippet”?….so so rich…2016 or 17….each year is like a new blessing and insight….

    Thank you, & thank you again.

    ….and my cheque is in the mail!

    I would gladly pay $25 for an audio version of the whole series. A friend just gifted me the book set (yaaayyy!) & I’m using both the audio & the text for Advent.

    This is a great idea! I have been using the audio and text together and find they complement each other beautifully (being so rich in thought on the page, it is sometimes nice to take that which is heard, pause, and mull over the text further a while before continuing the audio).

    The production is excellently done! Artfully, gently, and effectively weaving together the various voices with background music and slipping in the selected song of the day makes for a satisfying, complete-feeling experience.

    I imagine this to be good for those who might not know exactly what to do with a “mixed media” devotional (how to go about structuring its consumption and reflection, that is, for you have done it for them) as well as for those who interact well with the text and/or audio, but simply enjoy being led.

    I suspect people will access it where it can be found – be it on Audible, iTunes, your personal website/store, retail (CD), etc. I personally might enjoy purchasing this on CD, but would not be sad one bit if it were only available as a paid digital download.

    Bless you in the further consideration of how to produce and market this resource. I think you’re on the right track!
