Hey Fellow Dads,
Last time we looked at some disadvantages of audiobooks as compared to printed books. Today’s episode will discuss six advantages of audiobooks, along with a list of some of my favorite audiobooks—I hope you enjoy many of them!

“In darkness God’s truth shines most clear.”
“Love is larger than the walls which shut it in.”
“Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God’s power alone be free to work.”
“No pit is so deep that God is not deeper still.”
—Corrie Ten Boom, in The Hiding Place
“Let us read it with holy reverence. Like all the rest of Scripture, every word of St. Mark is ‘given by inspiration of God,’ and every word is ‘profitable.’
“Let us observe, in these verses, what a full declaration we have of the dignity of our Lord Jesus Christ’s person. The very first sentence speaks of Him as ‘the Son of God.’
“These words, ‘the Son of God,’ conveyed far more to Jewish minds than they do to ours. They were nothing less than an assertion of our Lord’s divinity.
“They were a declaration that Jesus was Himself very God, and ‘equal with God.’ (John v. 18.)
“There is a beautiful fitness in placing this truth in the very beginning of a Gospel. The divinity of Christ is the citadel and keep of Christianity. Here lies the infinite value of the satisfaction He made upon the cross.
“Here lies the peculiar merit of His atoning death for sinners. That death was not the death of a mere man, like ourselves, but of one who is ‘over all, God blessed for ever.’ (Rom, ix. 3.) We need not wonder that the sufferings of one person were a sufficient propitiation for the sin of a world, when we remember that He who suffered was the ‘Son of God.’
“Let believers cling to this doctrine with jealous watch-fulness. With it, they stand upon a rock. Without it, they have nothing solid beneath their feet. Our hearts are weak. Our sins are many. We need a Redeemer who is able to save to the uttermost, and deliver from the wrath to come. We have such a Redeemer in Jesus Christ. He is ‘the mighty God.’ “ (Isaiah ix. 6.)
“A great congregation no doubt is a pleasing sight. But the thought should often come across our minds, ‘How many of these people will reach heaven at last?’
“It is not enough to hear and admire popular preachers. It is no proof of our conversion that we always worship in a place where there is a crowd. Let us take care that we hear the voice of Christ Himself, and follow Him.
“The principal work of every faithful minister of the Gospel, is to set the Lord Jesus fully before His people, and to show them His fulness and His power to save.— The next great work He has to do, is to set before them the work of the Holy Ghost, and the need of being born again…
“There is a rich mine of comfort, in these words, for all Christ’s believing members. In themselves, and in their own doings, they see nothing to please God. They are daily sensible of weakness, shortcoming, and imperfection in all their ways. But let them recollect that the Father regards them as members of His beloved Son Jesus Christ. He sees no spot in them. (Cant. iv. 7.) He beholds them as ‘in Christ,’ clothed in His righteous-ness, and invested with His merit. They are ‘accepted in the Beloved,’ and when the holy eye of God looks at them, He is ‘well pleased.’
“This is that old sermon which all the faithful witnesses of God have continually preached, from the very beginning of the world. From Noah down to the present day the burden of their address has been always the same—’Repent and believe.’ “
—J.C. Ryle, in Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Mark
“I’ve got a long list of books I really want to read, but I simply don’t have the time. Most of my reading is taken up with books that I need to read—my Bible first, that’s my soul food.”
—Nathan
