Anyway, so that we don't get completely off-topic, I'm sure that that is just one of many things someone would learn from listening to or reading the book that I posted. ha.

An incident that you might find interesting . . . . A neighbor of mine was a career soldier in Army Special Forces--I have forgotten what rank that he had attained when he retired. I didn't know him very long before he died of throat cancer. But, over and over again, he mentioned to me that he met all of the requirements, and was all set to be buried at Arlington when he died. It was almost like he was looking forward to it! All of his close family--wife, brothers, sisters knew what he wanted. Well, when he died, his family decided that he ought to be buried in a cemetery in the state here, so they could "go and see him more often," and that's where they buried him! On top of that, his wife didn't think that the rest of the family even cared enough about him to ever go "see" him! The cemetery where he was buried is a national cemetery, but of course it is nothing compared to Arlington!

1/2 in formed your NUTS & RUDE! Don't have a clue to what your talking about!

If you buy (or already have) the Kindle ebook The Success Principles - 10th Anniversary Edition by Jack Canfield, you can buy the Whispersync companion for only $3.99. The Kindle ebook is on sale for $1.99 right now, so the total for the whole enchilada--audio + ebook + Whispersyncing--is only $5.98!

FYI--this 10th anniversary edition is not just the text of a previous edition reprinted for the occasion. There are 100 pages of new material, including a section "Success in the Digital Age."

In case you're not familiar with the book, it is a modern classic. And it's been extremely highly-regarded; this edition continues that tradition with a 5-star rating, from 124 reviews at the present time.

This edition is 624 pages long, which translates into 21 hours and 11 minutes of audio playing time! I look at price-per-hour of listening time as a measure (along with other things, of course) of whether or not an audiobook is a good enough value to spend my hard-earned dollars on--this one has got to be one of the best Whispersync audio companion deals by that measure that I've ever posted.

Oh, if you decide that you just want the audio, you can get that at Audible for only (ha) $38.74.

You can get the whole Whispersync companion deal by starting right here, at the Amazon webpage for the ebook.

[UPDATE: The second Amazon link actually pointed you to the Audible page. Sorry. Thanks to Koland for pointing it out. It's fixed now. I actually checked all of the links to make sure that they were good, but failed to check to make sure that they took you to the right place. ha. G.]

And you get the ebook free, too. And, on top of that, the audiobook will be sync'd up with the ebook, and vice versa. Yep, it's another fantastic Whispersync deal!

The full title of the audiobook/ebook is A Lifelong Love: How to Have Lasting Intimacy, Friendship, and Purpose in Your Marriage. The Kindle ebook just had a markdown to $1.99, and the Whispersync audio of that book is only $3.99. So, that's how the deal comes out to only $5.98.

You would pay $20.95 at Audible, for the audiobook alone!

The ebook is rated 4.8 stars, from 39 reviews at the present moment, at Amazon. The audiobook is rated 4.20, from 13 ratings at the present time. The ebook's 340 pages long, making the audio 8 hours and 34 minutes in length.

Gary Thomas' books are oriented toward Christians, so be aware that there may be quite a few references, and such like, to Christianity throughout the book.

How do you get the deal? You could start at the Audible page for the book to get it. But you've gotta buy the ebook first, so, I suggest that you just start at the Kindle ebook page.

Happy listening, and reading if you so choose!

Seems like their might be life left in this after all, or at least it's on life support...

Ford Audiobook Club members,

We haven’t forgotten about you! While we’re still working out a program worthy of even the pickiest readers for 2015, we’re thrilled to see that our little club is still active, with or without us. You’ve given us so many wonderful reading suggestions, and we love the enthusiasm the group has for the Ford Audiobook Club—there’s something really special about a community of engaged, like-minded people.

So while we don’t yet have an announcement about our next book, thank you all for your passion and involvement.

See you soon,

Ford

I'll post an update if I hear more. Until then I thought you might want to know.

Thanks; I saw it the other day. Their statement was so non-committal. Time will tell if they actually release any more audiobooks.

Speaking of programs that suddenly stop, have you noticed that Amazon's free Whispersync selection is still showing "The Blue Fairy Book" from March? Amazon's not known for announcing the termination of their promos; they just suddenly stop. As such, I'm removing this one from the OP also. Now we're down to two - ChristianAudio and LearnOutLoud.

Yeah, I keep hoping they turned it off for the last B4G10 deal and just forgot to turn it back on, but I am quickly losing hope. They are still doing it in the UK but they only recently started WS there so it's not a fair comparison.

Hopefully we'll see some extra freebies for June - "June is Audiobook Month." Only time will tell.

That's a good point. If done right, you could get two free audiobooks that would qualify for the B4G10 promo. I still plan to monitor it for awhile.
