This week's "Living Book for the Ears"...The Passion and Resurrection
plus
The Story of Little Tree
This week, we have two wonderful episodes from the series Family Theatre, both of which focus on the Easter season.
First is a great dramatic interpretation of the scriptural story of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. We did offer a version of this program a couple years ago, but let me encourage you to go ahead and listen to THIS version even if you heard the earlier one. I must say that the narrator on THIS version (Dan O'Herlihey) is much better than the original. This dramatization of the events follows the scriptural story quite faithfully, and much of the script for this drama IS scripture. This is a wonderful, moving retelling of this greatest of all stories, with our highest recommendation for this Easter season. This program was originally broadcast on Family Theatre on April 17, 1957.
Next up, quite a change of pace, as we present "The Story of Little Tree", in which a little girl and her grandfather take an Easter walk in the woods, and he tells her a story of how the blooming trees know when it is Easter -- a fanciful fable of a very small tree that dreamed of someday being very important indeed. In this fable, that's just what happens on that first Easter. (This is a great story, but it does require a bit of imaginative license.) This program was originally broadcast on Family Theatre on March 7, 1951.

To download a program, RIGHT click (use the right hand button on your mouse) the link above, and "save target as" (or "save link as") to the directory of your choice.
The file should start downloading right away. If it doesn't, try it again, and follow these instructions carefully. (DON'T cut and paste this link into your web browser -- that will just PLAY the program over the internet (it will be jumpy and start & stop a lot), and will not DOWNLOAD the program. If you want to download it to your computer, you need to follow the above instructions.)
NOTE: If the file just starts playing over your computer right away, that's because you clicked the link with the LEFT hand button on your mouse. You need to click the RIGHT HAND button to download the whole show to your computer.
IF you right click the link and your computer does not allow you to "save target", you need to adjust your computer's security settings (or disable your "internet content advisor" settings) to allow downloaded files.
MAC USERS: In order to download these files, hold down the Control key then click the link with your mouse. It will then download to the directory you choose.
If your download is unusually slow, it could be because our server is busy or overtaxed. You might try again at a later hour. It should - eventually - work fine.
This file will be available for the next week or two only, so don't put off downloading it if you want a copy.
