For those who hate reading books...

have you tried reading a book while listening to what you are reading?! It was fun. Good news for those who are "lazy" to read books and most of all to read the Bible.

I was told before by a friend to listen to audio bible while having my devotion instead of reading the Bible itself. But I was easily distracted I couldn't get my mind focused on what I'm listening to... or worse if I'm in front of the computer my mind wandered and shifted its focus on the screen of the computer. It won't work for me I told myself.

Two weeks ago in our Educational Principles and Methods Class in ATS, I found out what type of learner I am. Definitely I am not an audible learner, I need to see, I need to feel and I need to touch before it gets to my being... before I learn it.

reading is fun for me (actually i have learned to love it when I got to college, to FBC in particular, or else I haven't survived school, esp. the seminary)! But I have not imagined it could even be more fun to read while listening to its audio version.

I was given the audio of waking the dead several weeks or months ago. When i tried listening, I could hardly understand nor appreciate its beauty simply because (as I have just found out) I am not an audible learner. And this week I received a copy of the book from a generous ate who sent me one (thank you ate Bren)! The sounds in my mp4 now make sense as I listen to its words and the book was given more life listening to the audio!

For those who hate reading books and bored to read their Bibles.. you may want to try it! For those who don't have a copy of audio bible you can check the following site: http://www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Enjoy a new way of enjoying the Word of God!
