What is your favorite evening family past time? One of our favorite things to do is to bring everyone into living room and read great books to the children. Although, I can’t really take credit as Dana does all the reading and I often fall asleep. While it is one of our favorite things to do, I admit that when the children were younger and life was slower that we did this much more often. But even now we still love to gather around a good book as a family, and if we can find a good one, we will on occasion listen to audio dramas during this time.
So, the other day Aaron (my 16 year old) said he was interested in learning about making audio dramas. One of the joys of homeschooling is that we can break from the normal routine to let our children pursue activities of interest. He picked a short chapter called Buried for his first attempt. This is the second book in The Peleg Chronicles by Matthew Christian Harding. We were introduced to this series a few years ago and they quickly became one of our family’s favorites. (You can read my review on the first book here.) Below is the 3 minute result of Aaron’s first attempt (with some help from a good friend).
After you listen to it I’d love to hear what you think.
Love it! What are the books about? This chapter seems very interesting…
Hi Amy! The books are historical fiction that takes place in the time period of Peleg, soon after the tower of Babel dispersion. Written from a young earth perspective there are dragons and giants, but no magic, humanism, or evolution. Children young and old will love them.
Great books that I highly recommend.
Oh, wow! That is so COOL!
I just hopped over to Amazon to order the first book in the series, and it’s free on Kindle! I don’t know if it’s a special sale or what. I just thought some of your other readers might want to know. 🙂 Thanks for the recommendation!
Great to know, thanks Amy!
That was wonderful. Aaron you did an excellent job! Hope to hear more from you, and your great audio drama voice. Keep up the good work.
