    Three People by Pansy ~ Full Audiobook [religion]
    Mar 20 2026
    Three People by Pansy audiobook. Genre: religion Set in 19th-century America, Three People begins with three boys born on the same day but into strikingly different worlds. Pliny Hastings is the adored son of a wealthy liquor merchant, Bennie Phillips is raised in a comfortable middle-class home, and Tode Mall grows up in crushing poverty with a drunken father and a mother whose desperate final prayer is that her son will never touch rum. As the boys grow, their lives unfold along very different paths, yet each remains bound to the same dangerous force: a culture that excuses, profits from, and is quietly damaged by drink. The novel follows Tode in particular as he struggles against ignorance, hunger, and social contempt, trying to build an honest future and a new identity for himself. Around him move ministers, merchants, friends, and family members whose choices reveal how temptation reaches into every class of society. Part coming-of-age story and part moral drama, the book explores how upbringing shapes character, how faith and persistence can challenge a bleak beginning, and how one generation's habits can threaten the next. The central question is whether these three boys can escape the legacies handed to them before those legacies claim their futures.

    Stories and Pictures from the Life of Jesus by Pansy ~ Full Audiobook [religion]
    Mar 20 2026
    Stories and Pictures from the Life of Jesus by Pansy audiobook. Genre: religion In Stories and Pictures from the Life of Jesus, Pansy presents the Gospel story in a warm, accessible form designed especially for young listeners and family reading. Moving through the major moments of Jesus' early life and public ministry, the book introduces scenes such as his birth, his kindness toward ordinary people, his teaching in stories and parables, and the wonders that drew crowds to hear him. Pansy writes with a clear devotional purpose, inviting children not only to follow the events but also to reflect on what they reveal about love, mercy, obedience, and faith. The narrative brings together memorable biblical episodes, simple moral lessons, and vivid illustrations that help make familiar sacred history feel immediate and personal. Along the way, listeners meet disciples, families, skeptics, and those in need, all responding in different ways to Jesus' words and actions. The central tension grows from the contrast between Jesus' message of compassion and truth and the misunderstanding, doubt, and resistance he faces from the world around him. Gentle in tone but earnest in purpose, this book offers a reverent introduction to the life and character of Jesus.

    Stephen Mitchells Journey by Pansy ~ Full Audiobook [religion]
    Mar 20 2026
    Stephen Mitchells Journey by Pansy audiobook. Genre: religion Set on a worn, unpromising farm, this late-19th-century novel follows Stephen Mitchell, a shy, undereducated young man who feels trapped by hard labor, poverty, and his own painful awkwardness. He has little hope for the future until a chance visit to a Chautauqua gathering awakens his curiosity and gives him the first glimpse of a larger world. Determined to change, Stephen begins an uphill effort at self-education, helped by his practical sister Sarah Jane and guided by the thoughtful minister Max Ransom and his refined sister Helen. As Stephen struggles to improve both his mind and his family's prospects, new friendships, social expectations, and questions of faith press in on every side. His growth is not smooth: pride, discouragement, class differences, and the pull of merely outward success keep threatening to turn him aside. More than a simple coming-of-age tale, the book is a story of inward awakening, moral direction, and the difficult work of becoming a different kind of man. Pansy blends domestic detail, spiritual reflection, and quiet character drama into a warm, earnest portrait of transformation.

I've now listened to several of these 800+ (and growing) episodes/books, and sampled many more. They are read well, for the most part, and cover a broad range of topics, authors and time periods. There are both fiction and non-fiction, children's, YA and adult titles. I assume all are in the public domain, whether by lapsed or expired copyright. A number of the series' titles are otherwise unavailable for free through Audible, but the edition for sale on Audible will likely be a better reading or translation. I haven't checked, but some of the more obsure titles are likely not available at all. Some have attributions to Librivox, but a variety of sources seem to be drawn from. The biggest drawback, due to the podcast/episode structure of the collection, is that you can't search by title or author, only by upload date. You must load page after page until you find (or don't find) a title or author you're hoping is in the collection. But what do you want for FREE? There are both diamonds and lumps of coal in this mine. You just have to keep digging until you find your diamonds.
