Inspiring Audio Drama for Boys

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

Inspiration. It’s a key ingredient in every good story, but so much of the entertainment for young boys today lack it. Where are the tales of young men who face fear head on and overcome impossible odds? Where are the legends of the good guys standing their ground against enemies ten times their size? Where are the stories of once great heroes at the end of themselves who finally turn to God and discover untold levels of strength? [Don’t miss the giveaway at the bottom of this post!]

Heirloom Audio Drama creates inspiring historical stories that will captivate the whole family. Perfect for car rides, when you're stuck indoors or just a night with the family.Disclosure: I received this product for free and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed are my own and I was not required to post a positive review.

Sadly, these stories are in short supply, but we’ve discovered a great source of inspirational entertainment for our boys. Heirloom Audio is bringing to life some of G.A. Henty’s best historical fiction with full scale audio dramas. G.A. Henty was a 19th century English novelist who authored more than 100 books that have stood the test of time.

About Heirloom Audio Productions

Heirloom Audio Productions is passionate about bringing real history to life. They produce audio adventures for Christian families. Their goal is to engage listeners’ imaginations by taking them back in time and immersing them in the story.  We recently reviewed The Dragon and The Raven, one of Henty’s most popular books and one of Heirloom Audio’s Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty.

The Dragon and The Raven Synopsis

The Danes have swept over every kingdom in England, laying waste to everything in their path. Join Edmund and the one man who is willing to stand against the invaders – the young King Alfred of Wessex. From standing in the shield-wall to sailing on the whale-road, Alfred and Edmund realize the nation’s only hope is to turn back to the God they have abandoned. Can the two young warriors turn the tide of the war and save their world?

Just that description alone gets your heart pumping. Here are just a few things our family loved about this audio drama.

Why We Love Heirloom’s Audio Dramas

  • Inspiring historical entertainment without a screen. A long car ride along monotonous interstate highways. A summer afternoon with a soaring heat index. A quiet evening at home with the whole family around. These are all perfect opportunities to immerse yourself in an amazing story of historical fiction created by Heirloom Audio.

  • Christian stories that captivate boys. (Girls will love them too.) The Dragon and the Raven was really a great story. We listened to it on the way home from a road trip and it held our whole family’s attention for the entire 2 ½ hour production. Mr. George (G.A. Henty voiced by Brian Blessed) retells the tale of how Alfred the Great along with his men stood their ground against an overpowering Viking army and won back England. The story includes sword fights and naval battles, daring cunning and sneak attacks against enemies, young men coming into their own and men loving women well. And throughout the story young listeners learn important biblical truths still relevant today. Does it really get any better?

  • The audio experience is superb. What impressed me was the quality of the production. Imagine watching a major motion picture with your eyes closed. That’s essentially the level of production this audio drama brings. While the narrator does a good job of setting the scene, the setting is always evident because the audio engineering is so good. Whether in a cavernous room or the misty woods at night, each new setting had a unique quality to it. The sound effects during the battle scenes were amazing as well. Dozens of swords and shields crashing together as warriors clashed. Your mind is instantly filled with imagery. The soundtrack rivals anything you’ll hear on television or at the movies. It did a great job of keeping the energy up during the action and drawing the listener in during the important dialogue.

The Bottom Line

This audio drama is a lot of fun. I would recommend picking up one of the Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty from Heirloom Audio. You have plenty of options when you purchase a story including study guides, discussion starters, downloadable audio, posters and ebooks. There’s even a package that includes a behind-the-scenes documentary. Knowing my boys I doubt we’ve listened to The Dragon and the Raven for the last time.

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line. 

It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets. 

We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude. 

Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!

So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?

🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂
I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!

Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week

After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned. 

I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right? 

Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel. 

But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!

WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?
