AUDIO BOOKS-CATHOLIC
I am posting links to audio books available for free at Librivox.org; the only books I'm posting are those which I know to be Catholic. These books are all in the public domain and read by (excellent) volunteers.
This is a new project, there will be more books to come.
I would recommend you download the zip mp3 file for the entire book rather than individual chapters.
Enjoy and learn!

Hi John,
Most of BPW's stuff is in the video section. These are just audio books.

It would be good to have as much as possible films with Bishop Williamson preaching.

These make wonderful gifts for mission priests who have to travel great distances to bring us the sacraments. Find out what playing device they have, CD or MP3 player, before you burn the discs.

Sue I'm copying your post and pasting it in the Kingship of Christ Study Group. Excellent find! Thank you+

The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII This is a must read for a good these tiresome days so filled with nonsense! Pope Leo addresses many of the crazy issues we hear about today, albeit before they "bloomed" (marriage, government, freemasonry and naturalism, religious synchronicity, etc.) giving sound reason to combat the jabberwockies. Definitely a 5* read.

Sunny-Gem, I agree, alleluia audio books is a wonderful website. They are continually adding more books. Here's another great site: Catholic Audio Books. You can sign up on both sites to be e.mailed new listings! I also heard By Thy Love and Grace. So many great books are available: a new addition is the encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII, The Glories of Mary, and True Devotion to Mary. Not enough time to hear them all. Thanks to all the devoted readers of these books.

The Mystical City of God are my favorite book (s) but I have not been able to find
it in audio form either.
I'm looking for the family that over took Christ too and The Three religious Rebels !
-

Haven't been able to find The Mystical City, DM. I'll keep looking. It was already on my search list! People are always posting newly completed books. I will defiantly keep it in mind. I've been listening to The Dialogues of St. Catherine of Siena and Pastoral Care Pope St Gregory. What wonderful writing...very helpful material.
