Muckboots n' Aprons: Les Miserables ~ audio

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Les Miserables ~ audio

Les Miserables is a hot topic amongst the community here. Especially the young people. The movie, which I haven't taken the time to see, is pretty popular. Tyndale Publishers gave me a free copy of the audio book put out by Focus on the Family to review. Things have been so busy I just finally got to it recently. It's wonderful! I had forgotten just how enthralling a well done audio book could be. The older kids and I used them all the time in our homeschooling but Ben and I, not so much. He enjoyed Les Miserables too.

The voices for the characters are believable, the sound effects and the background noises...it all draws you in and breathes life into the narrative. I myself was totally in the story. This is a classic tale and this audio version so well done that it demands some attention from the homeschool community. I loved it! Highly recommended!
