Catholic audio books -- listen for free!


We got word of another wonderful website, with over 450 free Catholic audio books for you to enjoy. Yes, that's right -- FREE. No credit cards, no payment. Just click, listen and get one step closer toward salvation.

Catholic Audio Books, according to the publisher, is a site devoted to collecting and listing links to all available free Catholic audio books on the internet. It currently lists approximately 473 books, poems, short stories, homilies and sermons either written by or about Catholics.

Included are 49 children's books, including the well known Angel Food series by Fr. Brennan, a large selection of saint biographies, as well as many, many books written by saints, Catholic religious and priests.

Some of the more well known titles included are: The Glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus Ligouri, True Devotion to Mary, the works of St. Teresa of Avila, the complete Douay Rheims version of The New Testament and a large part of the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas.

There are also links to 49 audio books in various foreign languages – 38 of these being in French – including Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, German and a very short recording in Greek.

New titles are added regularly as the recordings become available. A large portion of the titles are from Librivox.org which is a completely volunteer effort that produces audio versions of public domain books. And in case you lose this post, we are adding a link to this site, under the "links" section on the right-hand side of our blog.
