The Trinity Forum Update

“‘What shall I do?’ he thought again. ‘I have grasped too much and ruined the whole affair. I can’t get there before the sun sets.’” —Pahóm the peasant, in Leo Tolstoy’s 1886 short story “How Much Land Does a Man Need?”

In this Trinity Forum Update we announce new audio editions of six Trinity Forum Readings plus upcoming events with Prabhu Guptara, Mark Noll, and Francis Collins.  

Trinity Forum Releases Six Audio Readings on CD

We are pleased to announce the release of six of our Readings booklets as unabridged CD audio books.

Each title will be priced at $16 (and discounted with purchase of 20 or more copies), and we will also be providing a bundle of all six for $90. Through October 15 we are offering an introductory sale at $14 each.

The titles are:

• “Ex Tenebris” by Russell Kirk and narrated by David Schock
• “Hannah and Nathan” by Wendell Berry and narrated by Steve Brown
• “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” by Leo Tolstoy and narrated by David Aikman
• “Joy Cometh in the Morning” by P. G. Wodehouse and narrated by David Aikman
• “Poor Man’s Earl” by John Pollock and narrated by David Aikman
• “The Purchase of a Soul” by Victor Hugo and narrated by David Aikman

Each title is packaged in a handsome “polybox” case (like a DVD case, but CD-sized) that will not crack in shipping like a traditional jewel case.

We hope you will enjoy the audio version of these classic stories, each of which is available for purchase at our web store.
