Tales of Faraway Places
2000
At last! Short works by some of CBA's best-loved fiction authors—including Jerry Jenkins, Randy Alcorn, Terri Blackstock, Deborah Raney, and Angela Elwell Hunt—are compiled in one gripping audio! These masterfully told short stories promise to transport readers around the globe with amazing tales of international romance, mystery, and humor. A short bio accompanying each story allows readers to "meet" their favorite author.
