The KJV Apocrypha in a single volume

The Apocrypha ("hidden things") are contemporaneous with the Old Testament, but were not officially accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew "canon" was set. They did, however, form part of the Greek Scriptures and came into English Bibles by that route. The writings of the Apocrypha run the whole gamut of literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs, and sermons. Many complement parts of the Old Testament, and listeners will recognize some familiar Biblical characters in the narratives, such as Daniel and Esther.

From librivox.org:

The Book of Enoch, is an ancient, non-canonical Jewish work. Estimates vary on the actual dates of authorship. However, Enoch was alive during the Antediluvian period as recorded in the Hebrew Bible. Fragments of the text, were discovered in cave 4 of the Qumran caves in 1948.

Enoch, born in the 7th generation from Adam, was the grandfather of Noah. Enoch prophesied concerning the judgments on mankind (Jude 14-15 & Enoch 1:9). Enoch says his prophetic words were not for his generation but for a “generation of elect and righteous people far in the future that would be living in the day of tribulation when all the wicked and godless are to be removed.” (Enoch 1:1). He compiled his visions and prophecies into a book of parables and passed the secrets on to Noah (The book of Enoch 68:1).

Among the secrets passed down, Enoch gives a more detailed accounting of the relationship between the fallen angels (watchers) and the daughters of men in Genesis 6:2-4. He reveals the secrets of the luminaries and the weather and concludes with a prophesy concerning the condition of man and purging of the evil on earth. - Summary by CJ Plogue

THE NORMANS were a relatively short-lived cultural and political phenomenon.  They emerged early in the tenth century and had disappeared off the map by the mid-thirteenth century.  Yet in that time they had conquered England, southern Italy and Sicily, and had established outposts in north Africa and in the Levant.

The reality is that, even within this short time span, the Normans changed as time and place dictated from Norse invaders to Frankish crusaders to Byzantine overlords to feudal monarchs.  In the end their contribution to medieval culture was largely as a catalyst for other, older traditions.

Rush Revere and the
First Patriots

Go back in time to experience the first rumblings of Amierican independence, and ask the people who were there:

King George III, why are you treating the colonists so unfairly?
What was the secret signal that led to the Boston Tea Party?
Why did people yell "Treason" when Patrick Henry spoke?

RUSH REVERE RIDES AGAIN!
SADDLE UP WITH RUSH
LIMBAUGH'S REALLY GOOD PAL FOR
A NEW TIME-TRAVEL ADVENTURE

Whoa there, young historians!  Before we go rush, rush, rushing off anywhere, I'd like a moment.  I'm Liberty, Rush Revere's loquacious equine companion - his trusty talking horse!  Always at the ready to leap from the twenty-first century into America's past, that's me.  When he says 'Let's go!' I'm so there.  I'm jazzed, I'm psyched, I'm-"

"Ah, excuse me, Liberty?"

"Yeah, Rush?"

"Usually you say 'oh no, not again!' and 'while we're in colonial Boston, can I try the baked beans?'"

"Okay, fine - you do the talking.  I'll just be over here, if you need me...."

Well, he's sulking now, but I couldn't be your tour guide across time without Liberty!  His name says it all: the freedom we celebrate every July Fourth with fireworks and hot dogs (and maybe some of those baked beans).  But how did America get free?  How did thirteen newborn colonies tell the British king where he could stick his unfair taxes?

Jump into the bustling streets of Boston in 1765, where talk of revolution is growing louder.  I said LOUDER.  You'll have to SHOUT to be heard over the angry cries of "Down with the king!" and "Repeal the Stamp Act!" that fill the air.  You'll meet fierce supporters of liberty like Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and my idol, Paul Revere, as they fearlessly defy British rule.  It's an exciting, dangerous, turbulent, thrilling time to be an American... and exceptional young patriots like you won't want to miss a minute.  So let's ride!

(KJV) King James Study Bible
Bible study story of "Jesus Turns Water into Wine" in the final chapter
Have you heard this very popular bible story?

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version.

This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed....

We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.
