That's good.

I'm pretty satisfied with its size; of course, larger is always better. Anyway, I get 50 free audiobooks from Prime Reading and 56 free audiobooks from Audible Channels for Prime.

OIC.

But I've got to take issue with the "larger is always better" statement. For example, with regards to rats, tumors, earthquakes, heart attacks, budget deficits . . . .

I have a rule against posting an ebook/Whispersync deal that I know has been marked down before, especially the same amount as before. Probably I'm violating that rule now, because I've seen the ebook marked before. However, there's a very good reason that I'm breaking my rule.

I bought the ebook way back in 2013. I paid $3.74 for it. Somewhere along the line, I bought the audiobook. Stupidly, I paid much more for the two than you would pay for this Whispersync deal.

A few months ago, I finally got around to listening to the audio. And, then I listened again, and again. I wish that I had listened to it, for the first time, much earlier. It would be hard, IMHO, for me to say too much good about the audiobook, at least. It's fantastic, and any complaints that I would have against it would be niggling ones. If this subject interests you, I highly recommend that you get this Whispersync deal, if you do not have the audio of the book.

Have I ever steered you wrong? No.

Comments:
Book Description (Amazon):
Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator.

Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.

A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Downpour -- Rental of the Week -- exp 19 Dec

$1.99 -- The Missing Matisse -- Pierre Matisse/ Jean Brassard --> 12.5 hrs --> auto-biography

An artful journey of discovery in the search for true identity and truth.

Born into a famous family of artists, Pierre Matisse grew up immersed in the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera, spending time with some of the most famous artists of the twentieth century, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. The man he knew as his grandfather, legendary artist Henri Matisse, gave him his first painting lesson and a strong desire to become a great artist in his own right.

Being a Matisse was an important part of young Pierre’s identity. So he was crushed and bewildered when at the outbreak of World War II his mother suddenly announced to her twelve-year-old son, “You are no longer a Matisse.” With no explanation, she changed her son’s name and sent him away.

So began Pierre’s lifelong search to solve the mystery of his true identity. What had happened? Why had his family seemingly rejected him? Who was his real father? Those questions are the intriguing backdrop to this memoir of Pierre’s fascinating and adventurous life on three continents.

Spanning the insider art world of 1930s Paris, the battles of World War II, the occupation of France by the Nazis, Pierre’s involvement with the French resistance, his postwar work restoring art and historical monuments, and his eventual decision to create a new life in North America, The Missing Matisse is a story of intrigue, faith, and drama as one man journeys to discover the truth about who he is—before it’s too late.

Monroe, the IT guy at school, might finally bring Owen the means to clear his father’s name by letting him use an Animus-a device that lets users explore genetic memories buried within their own DNA. During a simulation, Owen comes uncovers the existence of a powerful relic long considered a legend-the Trident of Eden. Now two secret organizations will stop at nothing to take possession of this artifact-the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. It becomes clear the only way to save himself is to find the Trident first.

Under the guidance of Monroe, Owen and a group of other teenagers go into a memory they all share within their DNA: the 1863 Draft Riots in New York City.
