Somewhere in the summer/fall of 2016, when it was becoming clear that the novel might actually become a completed product, I began to consider what we might do for an audiobook.
Since audiobooks have become so popular, it was never a question of whether we would do one or not. We all commute, workout, travel, work around the house, and do a myriad of other activities that can be enhanced by listening to a great story. That said, I woke up one morning in that season with a strong sense to do the audiobook full-cast and dramatized.
One of my goals from early on has been to provide an on-ramp for God’s people to use their giftings to glorify Him and to launch into ministries and careers. With access to a wonderful group of artists and communicators via speech clubs and theater groups, we decided to tackle the audiobook as a full-cast, dramatized production.
That decision has made the process exponentially more challenging, but we hope the results are worth it.
