We are on a journey to work through the sermons of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, reading one per day. Join our conversation as we discuss the sermons, week by week, to see the truth he preached about Jesus Christ and Him crucified come from Spurgeon's heart to ours.

These podcasts are always inspiring and encouraging, sometimes quite convicting. There's also something about the whole tone - the intro music, Walker's voice - that's comforting, and makes this a go-to podcast when I'm feeling down and not up for an upbeat chatty podcast (actually not really a fan of those most of the time) or a live sermon. I'm not sure the producers were going for a 'cozy fireside read' feel in this podcast, but it kind of has that, and I really like it.

Charming, vibrant, witty and edifying, The Life of Samuel Johnson is a work of great obsession and boundless reverence. The literary critic Samuel Johnson was 54 when he first encountered Boswell; the friendship that developed spawned one of the greatest biographies in the history of world literature. The book is full of humorous anecdote and rich characterization, and paints a vivid picture of 18th-century London, peopled by prominent personalities of the time.

The reader does a superb job of bringing to life the various characters in this lengthy book. Boswell's writing is clear and lively, and gives to each reader who has patience to get through his long work a sense of near acquaintance with this exceptional man. I enjoyed the brief glimpses of other contemporaries like Hannah More and John Wesley, and historic events like the Revolutionary War, all viewed from, as it were, ground level. The inclusion of his letters is a valuable addition, especially as a picture of friendship before the technological age.

The third book in Arthur Ransome's wonderful series for children, Peter Duck takes intrepid explorers John, Susan, Titty, and Roger Walker, and fearsome Amazon pirates Nancy and Peggy Blackett, onto the high seas.

One of a kind, delightful warm-hearted characters and thrilling adventures on the sea. Mr. Duck is a gem, and Allison Larkin puts sparkle into the story beyond the average read aloud.
