This collection contains 32 essays by the respected Baptist preacher Frank Boreham. Writing on topics that range from falling in love to eating sandwiches at a church meeting, Boreham seeks to encourage and inspire Christian believers around the world. ( Devorah Allen)
How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.

Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Great! Well, the MW is all filled out, and I've chosen one section for myself. I may take on more later, but I do have a large backlog, and anyway I haven't decided which other(s) I want.
I'll read the introduction please! I may read more of the book but I'll have to skim through it first. My voice isn't the best at the moment so I can't commit to anything too long.

Thank you! Happy to have you, even if it's just the intro.
I'll hold off on claims for now until I can catch up a bit on other projects.
I just saw a new one pop up on Gutenberg:
Rubble and Roseleaves http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/59180
ETA: Ah, I just saw on the other thread that this did not slip by you!
All the more to look forward to.

I saw that, too, thanks Larry! So there'll be at least one more for us after this, and I may have another source (that is, very knowledgeable person who's involved in reprinting old out-of-print PD books) who could find me some more.
When and if you decide to pick something up here, I'd be happy to have you. Up to you, of course, and what your schedule allows.
Just a note to let folks know that I will be away for my Pling station for a week beginning Sunday, April 14th. I will make sure everything is up-to-date on Saturday night. Feel free to PL any sections that might come in during that time period if they can't wait until I get back.
I will be visiting "The Town They Liked So Well They Named It Twice". How many of you know where that is?
