Wise Words--AudioBook
Read by Toby Sumpter

In the tradition of Grimm's fairytales, Peter Leithart has produced a wonderful collection of bedtime stories set within the rich imagery and symbolism of Christian truth. Now, listen to each tale read aloud, as the inimitable Toby Sumpter brings to life characters like the squirrel in The Magical Walnut, King Lothar in The Three Princes, and the foolish farmer from A Cloud of Birds.

A graduate of New St. Andrews College and Greyfriars' Hall, Toby Sumpter lives in Moscow, Idaho, with his wife, Jenny, and their three children, River, Felicity, and Tovia Ann. He is a pastor at Trinity Reformed Church, and we envy his animated style.

"Wise Words" Derek Monjure on 10/28/2011 11:05:38 AM 4 Comments: The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. These brief stories by Peter Liethart offer a great foundation to help our children learn true wisdom. The secret is that there is some red meat for adults too.
