[Faith-talk] some bible history books from BARD

Thu Nov 17 22:06:03 UTC 2011

I still agree with Felicia. Anyone else can go to a online store or library 
and buy or
check out books. We cannot. We have NLS thankfully and I like the books Rex 
suggested.
But as you know NLS only produces 2000 books a year.

Some books I want are not accessible. But I might buy anyway and scan them 
or something. And remember that many blind people don't have computers or 
know how to use them because training is so limited.
I remember the time when my computer crashed and I could not use one; could 
not just go to a library and use a computer.
It wasn't a good feeling. But I reminded myself I'd have one later and that 
I was fortunate I had family who could pay to get it fixed. Many blind 
people are not so lucky and they don't have internet either.

Those of us who can use electronic sources are the in the minority of blind 
people.
Anyway I might see what Optasia offers  but I already looked and know they 
don't offer books by David Jeremiah or Michael Graham or Franklin Graham.

Yes, you're right.  But there is a big difference between saying there isn't 
a lot of christian literature in the format you prefer and saying there 
isn't a lot of christian literature in an accessible format.  electronic 
resources are growing in popularity, and while it might not be my preferred 
way for handling devotional material, I'm willing to get access to materials 
in any form they exist.  Give it a try at least.  Optasia has a bunch of 
materials on church history and the historical background of the Bible.
