May 2024 The Christian Audiobook Renaissance

A sneak peek into Christian audiobooks making waves this May 2024.

A Christmas Carol by Steve Cook

Dramatized by best-selling narrator, Steve Cook, this abridged re-telling of Dickens' classic Christmas tale has something for everyone. All the sounds of 19th Century London are captured, from clopping hooves on cobblestones to booming Westminster chimes at midnight to the supernatural comings and goings of Scrooge’s four nocturnal visitors. Plus, a complete soundtrack of suspenseful and seasonal music throughout puts the finishing touches on a true, old-fashioned radio theatre-style experience.
“Often great pieces of literature are so abridged when they’re dramatized that they lose the full power of the language and the storytelling,” says Cook. “I’ve taken great care to be as gentle as possible with this abridgment while still seeking to hold the attention of today’s audience. Of course, having over 20 different character voices and a full cinematic soundscape underneath always helps too.”
This dramatized recording is taken directly from Cook's performance of Dickens' full, 3.5-hour, five-chapter masterpiece, which is also available for download at 5talentsaudio.com.
"God bless us, every one!"

Coach by Tim Winders

A modern inspirational story about the journey to success with a spiritual revelation.
In the thought-provoking novel Coach: A Story of Success Redefined, Cooper Travis meets the harsh reality of a decision that will destroy him or define him. His path is not always clear, but he is fortunate that a supernatural mentor is present to guide him in his journey. He is encouraged to embrace a life that is overflowing with love, faith, and peace.
Cooper had money, power, a large company, a beautiful wife, a big house, luxury cars and so much more. Why would he attempt to end his life when he had more than most people would want? He was driven by an addiction that grips many in modern culture; the simple yet powerful desire for more.
Challenges in life are inevitable. We do not desire to experience trials or crossroad events. But when we do they often lead down one of two paths - the road to destruction or the journey of salvation.
Follow Cooper on his journey of discovering the deeper meaning of success and breaking his insatiable desire for more. He is forced to question everything he believes as he is molded into the man he was created to be. Along the way, his guide is a unique and supernatural mentor that forces him to redefine success.

Playing Saint | All Souls' Day by Zachary Bartels

ON ALL SOULS’ DAY THE FAITHFUL REMEMBER THE DEAD.
THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF DEAD TO REMEMBER.
It’s been a year since pastor Parker Saint found himself in the middle of an ancient conspiracy involving demon possession, ritual killings, holy relics, and Vatican operatives, and things are just starting to get back to normal. Well, as normal as they can be now that he’s married to Detective Corinne Kirkpatrick.
Corinne is having trouble adjusting to life as a pastor’s wife. And while she’d love to retreat to the familiarity of her precinct, she’s beginning to feel out of place there too—surrounded by younger, unfamiliar faces and increasingly feeling like a relic herself.
When a new series of grisly murders rocks the quiet city of Grand Rapids, everyone is on edge, and no one more so than Parker—from the very first crime scene, the killer seems to be drawing attention to him. Soon he and Corinne are thrown into a deadly game with a timer that is swiftly running out. As the stress takes its toll on their fledgling marriage, they’ll have to lean on God and each other—and even those Vatican operatives—in order to stop the killer before it’s too late.
