Audio--History of the Reformation- Jean-Henri Merle d’Aubigné

[Richard Myers]

On a cold winter night, you will be blessed to listen to what I feel was is a God inspired account of the Protestant Reformation.  There are two volumes. It might take a long winter unless you read (listen) on a regular schedule.


Volume 1  Jean-Henri Merle d’Aubigné




Volume 2  Jean-Henri Merle d’Aubigné

[JimB]

A cold winter night is an excellent time to listen to this wonderful book. Another good time to listen is on your commute to work. This can be accomplished a couple of ways.

One is to download the mp3 files from here... https://librivox.org/author/12414
Then use a mp3 app like Smart Audiobook Player

Or you could simply use Librivox's own app which can be found here... LibriVox Audio Books.
Then search for and play the book.

I apologize to you iOS users as I'm sure this is easily enough done but I don't have enough experience with Apple products to recommend apps. Possibly this... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/librivox-audio-books/id596159212

Thanks for sharing Brother Jim.  Are there other recordings you can recommend?

[JimB]

I'm going to assume that by "other recordings" you mean other books?. There are a few I can recommend. I'll share them over time. For now here is another book I think people would enjoy.

The Great Second Advent Movement, Its Rise and Progress



There are a couple of places that it can be found. The first place is probably the easiest... Youtube.

This link should get you to the 1st chapter and rest of the chapters via playlist... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad958L225xE&list=PLmtiSpKWaiFDnTl_1F17t9bTCTTDV0YIP

However, you can also get  the mp3 files for it and use the app/s I recommended above. You can find the mp3 files here and then transfer them to your phone. Or I suppose you could use your phone and browse here and just tap the play button. I've never done that but I'm guessing it would work just fine and forego the hassle of downloading individual files. Everyone uses their phone differently. I prefer using the app because that way you can place bookmarks, also it will automatically stop and start upon dis/connection to your device. Or like a friend of mine does you can listen at double or triple speed. The other advantage to this is you don't need a data connection (wifi or cell data) thus enabling you take it with you on hiking trips

Let's talk for a minute about John Bunyan's "Pilgrim Progress".  Here is what Mrs. White had to say about the book.

Consider John Bunyan imprisoned in the Bedford jail. His enemies think they have placed him where his work for others must cease. But not so. He is not idle. The love for souls continues to burn within him, and from the loath-some dungeon there is sent forth a light that has shone to all parts of the civilized world. There he wrote his wonderful allegory of the pilgrim's journey from the land of destruction to the celestial city. This book, “The Pilgrim's Progress,” portrays the Christian life so accurately, and presents the love of Christ so attractively, that through its instrumentality hundreds and thousands have been converted. RH May 30, 1912 par. 11

John Bunyan breathed the very atmosphere of heaven; and there he wrote his wonderful allegory of the pilgrim's journey from the land of destruction to the celestial city. For over two hundred years that voice from Bedford jail has spoken with thrilling power to the hearts of men. Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners have guided many feet into the path of life. GC 252.2

This book can also be accessed for free through Librivox's app that I mentioned or by going straight to the website here... https://librivox.org/the-pilgrims-progress-by-john-bunyan-2/

There are  a couple of different readers but I'm linking to the one above because the readers voice is very easy to listen to. Here are a couple of other options to listen to this...

Amen!  And, it would be good to download all of these important testimonies of Truth. Soon, we do not know how soon, we will not be able to find them. Keep an external hard-drive with whatever is important to you and keep a backup hard-drive in case your primary drive is lost or corrupted. It would be good to keep the backup away from your home where we are exposed to fire, floods, tornadoes, and theft and whatever else Satan is allowed to cast upon us. And then if all is lost, it is fine. We can only take our character to heaven. All else will be lost.

[JimB]

Very good advice and with that mind. I went back and included links to PDF and EPUB versions of the books.

[Richard Myers]

Thanks Brother Jim. Satan does all he can to not only pervert the truth, but to remove recorded documents which reveal the truth. His great success in perverting the truth comes with "new" bibles that twist the truth to appear as truth, but leads away from the Truth. He is happy to include powerful truths in order to hide the important truth of the character of our God and the power of grace to transform sinners into saints.

What does Satan fear the most? Testimonies of faithful Christians who witness to the power of grace to keep us from sin. These witnesses testify that God is great and loves us despite our fallen nature. He allows His innocent Son to come to this dark spot in the universe a helpless baby subject to the weakness of fallen flesh. He had to fight the battle of life as we have to fight it, at the risk of failure and eternal loss! And, this all took place on this wicked planet where Satan claims dominion. He hated Christ in heaven, and even more when He pledged Himself to redeem a race of sinners. From the moment Christ appeared, he set about to destroy Him. But, he failed. When Christ declared "it is finished," He had suffered for the sins of the whole world that all might be transformed and made ready to live in a world without sin for eternity! What powerful truth!!!

You can find the pdf and audio versions of this book here.... https://www.aplib.org/the-history-of-the-waldenses/

Its been a while since I've read it but it was very good and inspiring even if it was hard to read at times. Not because of language but because of what they had to suffer. However, God worked many mighty miracles for them. Another book worth your time and effort.
