Project History

Back in 2000 I was an avid audio book listener. I had many doctrinal books that I wanted to read but it took me months, sometimes even years, to read some of these books. On the other hand I was listening to an audio book a week. I fell in love with books such as A Tale of Two Cities and Les Miserables. These were books that I would have never read because of my slow reading rate and lack of time.


I wanted to find religious books such as those on our list in audio format. I looked everywhere and they most did not exist. A few did, but their cost was very high. My wife even read The Teachings of Joseph Smith (which has since been recorded) onto cassette tapes. It is a cherished possession.


I was able to get a hold of several books in text format. I used a computer program to read the text and record the books to tapes. I quickly wore out a dozen players listening to books like the Mortal Messiah set and God, Family, and Country by President Ezra Taft Benson. These books opened my eyes and soul to very powerful truths that changed me. I can still remember the exact spots I was working when I learned different powerful truths.

I came to know and love these men who wrote these books. Audio books opened a whole new world to me that was miraculous. I want to pass this gift along to others like me that love God and His Prophets and desire to hear all their words.
