Why "St. Cuthbert's Island"?

Saint Cuthbert was a Celtic monk who lived in the 7th century.
He received visitors at his monastery in Northumbria and was even appointed a bishop, but he yearned for the life of an ascetic. While living at the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, he sought to spend time with the Lord whenever possible. Early on, he practiced solitude on a small island that was linked to Lindisfarne by a land bridge when the tide was low. This tiny island, known as Saint Cuthbert’s Island, was a training ground of sorts—a place to grow in faith and in love for God.

I chose to name my blog after this island for two reasons:
1) I hope that it will be a place where I can spend time alone with God, growing in my love for Him.
2) Perhaps, when the tide is low, others may find their way to this tiny island
and, by God’s grace, be blessed by what they find there.

I love books on tape. I like listening to them as I drive. I like listening to something more than once. I like being able to give a CD to someone and saying, "Check this out."

Recently I added a website to this blog: www.christianaudio.com . I found it a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed. It's a place that sells Christian audiobooks...but what I really like is the free stuff they offer!

Every month they select one audiobook and offer it for free. This month's book is The Power of Prayer by E. M. Bounds. I've never read it, but I'm looking forward to listening to it!
The coupon code to use for the free mp3 download of the book is JULY2007 . I plan to download it, burn it onto a CD (or 2), listen to it, and give it away to someone.

Just thought I'd pass along a good resource.
