During our recent vacation, my wife and I used some of our time together in the car to listen to "Pilgrim's Progress" and "Prince Caspian" on CD. Not only did this help to pass the time but it also provided us the opportunity to engage with some books that we otherwise might not have time to read together. I menion this as summer is approaching and many families may be planning upcoming driving vacations. It can be tough to entertain kids during the hours you're on the road and this seems like a great way to pass the time as a family with kids and be able to interact together about something valuable.
In fact, you can find a number of audio cds for free through your public library (if they don't have thes ones you want on the shelf, ask if they can get them through inter-library loan). Also, for those who've joined the 21st century and are able to listen to mp3s through your car stereo, check out http://christianaudio.com/. They offer a "free" Christian audio book at the beginning of each month that you can download and then listen to while you're on the road.
I hope this helps make for good family memories and eases the stress over high gas prices as you vacation this summer!
By God's Grace, Jeff
