I’m pleased to announce The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women’s Monastery, published by Ancient Faith Publishing (2012), is now available as an audio book! It is narrated by yours truly.
The book is a collection of stories – hearing them narrated brings them to life in a whole new way. You can hear a sample here.
I hadn’t read the book in over five years and so narrating it brought back many vivid, cherished memories (as described in more detail in this blog post). I found myself becoming rather emotional at some points. Doing the audio recordings allowed me to re-live some of the best days of my life. I’m thankful Ancient Faith Publishing made the decision to introduce this book to an even wider audience through offering an audio book version.
Just in time for Christmas: buy your copy at Audible.com here or at Amazon here.
An excerpt from a review of the audio book:
Hearing the book left me with a decidedly different viewpoint than when I read it via Kindle in 2017. The book was narrated by the author and, even though she was striving to be neutral in her reading, it was very easy to tell that she was deeply affected by her experiences at the monastery/monasteries she visited. The stories came to life and I found myself smiling and re-winding and sometimes even cringing in sympathy with her stories. Her engagement with the story is what gave it more life than the printed version. I imagine she spins quite a good yarn in person. -ElzabetG
