Also accidentally uploaded it the 1st time with an extra "_128kb" in the title.

I really enjoyed hearing this! Definitely PL ok. Do you know, although you've read for several of my projects before now, I think that this is the first time I've PLed one of your sections. You read with a very natural and easy expression that makes it easy to follow along.

Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. As so often with such things, they came at precisely the right time.

Here is Sermon 15: Light in Darkness

Thank you both! MW updated.

I didn't have a full 5 seconds of silence at the end of Chapter 23, so I re-uploaded it. The new length is 44:05.

Please can I read section 16

[Jddykst]

I'd like to try Sections 18 and 19, please.

[mightyfelix]

Thanks, everyone! MW updated.

[tac107]

I'll take section 20 next.

[mightyfelix]

Great, it's yours!

Sadly, I haven't been able to get to PLing for this book over the weekend. I have been doing some personal reading (catching up for book club tomorrow!) and helping to wrap up a couple of projects over in the drama board.

I realized I did still have some time available tonight, so I chose the longest of the sections waiting on PL.

I didn't hear any errors here that need to be addressed, Brandon, but your volume is much too low. It needs to come up by about 7 dB. Unfortunately, you have several spikes of higher volume that prevent you from amplifying very much without clipping in those spots. (Clipping is where your volume is so high as to produce unpleasant distortions.) What you can do is:

1) First, run some compression. Here are a couple of videos that explain what the compressor is and how to use it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ3lOTDsN6c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fKYYj6HMZU
-or-
1) You can manually find those loud spikes and one-by-one lower the volume of each of them. This gives you more control over the final outcome, but, as you can imagine, takes much more time and effort.

2) Now that your volume is more or less even, go ahead and amplify by about 7 dB.

This was longer than I expected, but the ending was worth it.

Nice work on this one, Larry! Yes, the payoff was at the end here, you're right. A couple of spots to address.

9:20 Word switch here. Text reads, "and the voice of them that make merry." I hear, "and the voice of them that make mercy."
31:01 Stumble and restart. "The ready and decisive reply to all such changes are owing to the progresses.... The ready and decisive..."

Thanks for the PL, Devorah!
Sorry it took so long to do these little edits, but here is the corrected file.

Still not quite there yet, sorry!

9:18 You inserted the correct phrase ("the voice of them that make merry"). But it seems that when you cut the bad phrase, you cut too much out! The underlined phrase below is now missing:

"...shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry."

(This is on p. 419 if you'd like to double check anything.)

Thank you, Tatiana. This is in the MW!
