June's trending non-fiction audiobooks
If you’re a fiction reader, it’s time to get real. Escapist readers get antsy when it’s time to put both feet back on the ground. No one wants to be tethered to reality, not really. But nonfiction isn’t your enemy. It’s not all bleak history and dry business books. Your carefully cultivated sense of hope and whimsy, built upon avoidance of the hard heavy facts of life, won’t be unraveled by reading nonfiction. Actually, if you pick the right book, you could discover hope and whimsy right here on Earth. Wouldn’t that be a little miracle!?
We’ve rounded up some recommendations – the hottest new titles in the nonfiction world – and all in audio format, because we know a great narrator can make all the difference. Tune in and open yourself to the possibility of being inspired and nurtured by the truth.
