On International Women’s Day last year we brought you news of Her Audio Bible, a project that ‘brings together women from a diversity of backgrounds to read from a place of personal faith’. This year we revisit the project and find new readings, this time Timothy 1 and 2 and read by Annika Matthews currently based in the South East of England. You can listen to her readings here:

The readings on this site are a joy to listen and now include:
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Galatians
Ephesians
Collosians

Revelations
