Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.

If you want facts about our forefathers, get any history text; this book is more interested in the personalities and character traits and family histories that contributed to the development of the great men who built our nation. It’s a phenomenal addition to the audio library of any who would like to hear stories that honor the founders and shapers of the great United States of America. Written in the 1800s, the Young Listeners Collection features children’s stories from yesterday’s classics. Learn from our nation’s founders whose Christian faith was lived out in the lives of the characters in these stories.

Elbridge Streeter Brooks (1846 –1902) was an American author, editor, and critic. He is known for his works of fiction and nonfiction for children, much of it having to do with historical or patriotic subjects.

Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, performed as a newscaster while in the Navy, and participated in community theater groups. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, “I’d record books.” And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children’s books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.
