Popular Christian singer and songwriter Michael Card takes on the narration of the bestselling devotional book of all time—and the combination is wonderful. Oswald Chambers, born in Scotland, is known for his thought-provoking writings on Christian faith. This production has an entry for each day of the year and is easy to follow. Card delivers the right amount of emotion and conviction to each devotion. At the beginning Card tells of his attraction to this book and his purpose in narrating the production. The wisdom of Chambers and the clarity of Card’s narration make this an excellent resource for anyone wishing to listen to inspirational and challenging devotions.

Reader Michael Prichard delivers a convincing rendition of Archie Goodwin, the burly right hand of the portly Nero Wolfe, world-renowned gourmand and detective. Prichard preserves the 1970s setting and 1950s origins of the story, bringing listeners a well-paced narration of murder and politics--a combination of elements that usually guarantees an exciting listen. This audio entertainment is as well formed and fragrant as one of Wolfe's hothouse orchids (the stout sleuth cultivates them by the hundreds in his town house greenhouse) as Goodwin walks us through an explosive murder investigation and political wheeling and dealing in a tough yet intelligent read.

Review Posted Online: Jan. 22, 2026
This collection of eight short stories contains gentle tales of fantasy and magic--not the magic of wizards and wands, but of wishing mats and enormous cats and gifts brought by the winds. In a lovely English accent, Lizza Aiken quietly narrates these stories in which magic and good fortune often come to those who deserve it. Although her pitch changes little, she registers a range of emotions--from the sadness of a girl whose necklace of raindrops has been stolen to the joy of a child who moves from a hard life and a ramshackle trailer to a happy home amid the clouds. A NECKLACE OF RAINDROPS would make a soothing choice for a family car trip after a long day.
