Last Day for Audible Platinum Program Free Trial

I just got an e-mail from Audible.com saying that January 13th is the last day to get a free trial of their Platinum Program.  This trial allows you to download 2 free audio books over a 2 week period.  At the end of the 2 weeks (or before) you can decide if you want to keep the program or not.  They are switching to a Gold Free Trial which will allow a free download of 1 audio book.  I’ve plugged this program for a while because as someone who does a considerable amount of driving I love Audible.  I listen to audio books all the time and have been a Platinum Program member for well over a year now.  Besides that they have some great Biblical Studies resources like these three Modern Scholar Series courses:

The Hebrew Bible by Lawrence Schiffman

The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Truth Behind the Mystique by Lawrence Schiffman

The History of Ancient Israel: From the Patriarchs through the Romans by Eric Cline

There are also a number of very good audio Bibles to choose from as well as a good number of popular level books in the area of Biblical Studies.

At any rate, if you want to take advantage of the last day to go and get an extra free audio book, this is it.  You can follow this link –

I’m not sure what will happen with the Audible UK program, but if you want to try it before they pull the program (if they haven’t already), try this link:

Pod Bible – A Very Cool Audio Bible Site

HERE is a link to PodBible.com a project associated with Tim Bulkeley among others.  It is by far one of the best free audio Bible sites online.  There are a number of exceptional things about it, but one really sticks out.  There are free audio Bible downloads of a modern translation.  As I have stated on the audio Bibles page of my site, most of what you are going to get in terms of free audio Bibles online is going to have a catch.  If you are able to download it all, then it is likely going to be an old, out-of-copyright text.  Or, if you want to listen to a modern version, you are going to be tied to listening to it online through streaming.  Pod Bible looks like it is going to give you a modern translation that you are able to download.  Some of the features like Bible60 are going to be great, but they are still a work in progress.  Yet this should not stop you from clicking over to the site and checking everything out.
