Purpose of Puritan Readings Aloud

Do you desire to redeem your commute, exercise, and like times by listening to audio books where the content is sound teaching on Biblical doctrines and practice, especially of the Puritan variety? The problem is that there are little if any materials of this nature available. It is my intention to gradually build a library of such materials at this site. I hope that you will return frequently to check for updates and avail yourself of the rich materials you will find here.
