This week, I take most of the podcast to re-tell the Christmas Story – that miraculous event which brought the world the Savior we all need. Not only do we hear the story, but I share music which is appropriate for the events of the story.
We also share a new question for our Holiday Giftaway. Correctly answer the question about the story of Christmas, and you’ll get to download a free audio book! What a deal!
We continue our Holiday GiftAway this month with another chance for you to win the audio book of your choice from the Narration by George library. Answer this week’s trivia question about story of the birth of Jesus, and you might be one of the ten winners this week.
We have favorite Christmas songs and favorite Christmas movies. Do you have a favorite Christmas book? This week’s podcast features three Christmas audio books. One of them may become a favorite for you. Listen to the samples. Then listen for the story of this week’s Christmas Carol: “Go Tell It On the Mountain.”
It’s the holiday gift-giving season. You’ve had the opportunity to empty your wallet over and over again in the last week. Now, I’m offering a gift to you – free audio books! Each week, I’m giving away 10 audio books. Listen for the trivia question and answer the question correctly. The first 10 correct responses will receive an audio book of your choice from the Narration by George library. Plus, I share some samples from books you might be interested in listening to. This week, I focus on three romance novels from Regina Puckett. Join me and get a free audio book!
This week, we break from our look at audio books to delve into some spiritual areas. I recently spent a weekend dealing with the deaths of two parents in two families close to me. Putting these two events so close together stirred my soul deeply. When I got back to my home church the following weekend, I heard a lesson from John 11 on Lazarus. What should our perspective be on a story of resurrection? I share this lesson with you on this podcast. (This podcast is a bit longer than usual. I hope you can hang with me!)
This week features the last of the recasts. We look back to a very early podcast with a lot of imagination. How about an interview with Ebeneezer Scrooge? You remember Scrooge! He’s the curmudgeon whose greed and avarice hardened his heard against all mankind. But, he’s visited by three spirits who change his heart and, thus, his actions. What if you could hear from him now? I take a stab at this possibility by imagining an interview with the reformed Scrooge!
Yes, this podcast was originally a “Christmas season” episode. However, this story is really not about Christmas; it is about redemption. And redemption is a universal theme good at any time of the year. So, my production of A Christmas Carol is available for sale year ’round. Go to my page for the book and listen to some samples.

As the moving and rebuild of the Narration by George studio progresses, we look back at some popular podcasts that have been presented and maybe one you’ve been missed. This is a retrospective episode that was presented at the first of this year. I reviewed some titles that are available and some of the distribution issues that we are still facing. I also looked forward to new distribution channels and new authors. And I start with an interview with new author Donna Patton. Take a listen!
P.S. Have you checked out my newest offerings? The Destined and A Study in Scarlet are now available on CD Baby, Audible.com, and in the I-Tunes store. Click on the title for more info or go to narrationbygeorge.com/books.

This week, we go back to the world of spiritual ideas to talk about “blessings.” Each week, I end this podcast with an exhortation to “share you blessings with someone else.” The question is, “What are our blessings?” Are they the things we have? The people we know? The life we lead? Jesus tells us about blessings and this lesson from my home church talks about those definitions in the context of Jesus’ birth.
Scriptures referenced in this lesson are:
For the opening of any new year, looking back and looking forward in assessment is always interesting. Looking back, we see the accomplishments and failures of the year. And we look forward in wonderful expectation of what the new year will hold. So, it is with Narration by George. I look back at the titles that are available. I look forward to new distribution channels and new authors. And I start with an interview with author Donna Patton. Take a listen!
It’s two days before Christmas as I write this. The season of giving, receiving, family, friends, fellowship, and food is upon us. But, will we take time to remember the reason for this season? Will we take time – individually and corporately – to celebrate, to contemplate, to remember the One who gave us the most important gift of all? “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.” (John 3:16, The Message) This podcast celebrates this gift in words and music. Enjoy!
