What makes or breaks an audiobook? Almost as important as the content itself is the narrator. These often unsung heroes of the medium are the people who keep you coming back time and again, carrying the ideas of this or that author into your ears. One of those narrators is Henry O. Arnold (or as his family calls him, Chip). Henry is a stage actor, writer, and narrator of over 40 audiobooks, including all of John Maxwell's books, Yawning at Tigers by Drew Dyck, and Boundaries by Henry Cloud. He is also the author of a new historical fiction book, A Voice Within the Flame. Listen in as we discuss: How being a stage actor makes Henry a better writer The value of biblical fiction What it takes to read an audiobook well How Aaron's boss is treating Aaron And, of course, we share a little of what we're reading. A few of the books mentioned on the show The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk MD No One Asked For This by Cazzie David A Promised Land by Barack Obama The Next to Last Stand by Craig Johnson Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline Sharing and supporting the show Leave a five-star rating and review of the show on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to the show.

Your Next Favorite Book: Faith, Hope, and Carnage
While our hiatus as a podcast continues, I started a new podcast called Your Next Favorite Book, where I share about one book I really enjoy in every episode. These books run the spectrum of genres and styles—in much the same way the books Dave and I would share here do. But this is a bit of a deeper dive, almost a book review experience. And today, I want to share with you one of my favorite episodes so far, which focuses on a book that I discovered by accident. This is Faith, Hope, and Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan. And if you like what you hear, I hope you'll subscribe to Your Next Favorite Book on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast app.
I'm a Christian—Now What? A Q&A at Landmark Booksellers
Even though we’re still on a hiatus, it doesn’t mean that Dave and Aaron aren’t still doing things together. In fact today’s episode is a conversation recorded at Landmark Booksellers in Franklin Tennessee on March 1, 2023, to commemorate the release of Aaron's new book, I’m a Christian—Now What? A Guide to Your New Life with Christ. In this conversation, we discuss why Aaron wrote the book and some of its key themes. We also talk about some of the advice he wishes he’d been given and things he would have done differently if he could have a do-over as a new believer. We even had a chance to take a few questions from the audience at the store! I’m a Christian—Now What? A Guide to Your New Life with Christ is available now. Order today from Amazon or wherever you buy books.
