       Like most people, the first book I ever listened to in the form of audio was the Bible. I think it was the King James Version. That’s probably been some twenty years ago. Even today, however, there are all kinds of audio Bible versions at our fingertips, and a lot of them free. So, listening to the Bible in the form of audio is great. You can recognize words you have never particularly noticed before, and verses can sound different than you have always thought. But it is also true that with the rise of technology there are many, many titles available in the form of audiobooks. Many you have to pay for, and there are a variety places you can get them, like from Audible, Apple, or Google, but many also are free. One free book I listened to for the first time lately was The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. This is a true timeless classic, and Mr. Franklin teaches us many things about our own character development. Whether this be his list for thirteen good virtues, or even his admission to his son of his mistakes, there is much that can be learned and modeled from this Forefather. Much of it parallels with the Bible.
