Audiobooks by Eugenia Price

Inside One Author's Heart offers a rare glimpse behind the image of a bestselling writer. Instead of her sweeping tales of the Old South, Ms. Price focuses on herself, her readers, and the special way in which they nourish each other. She tells it straight-with "warts and flaws" and, at all times, an endearing sense of humor about herself and her work. Here Ms. Price reveals how she creates her haunting novels, and how she brings her characters to life on paper. Here are the heartfelt dialogues between Ms. Price and her readers. Here is the real Eugenia Price, eternally optimistic, yet strangely intimidated by her own success. The story ranges from Ms. Price's early years as a writer living in Chicago, to how she fled in the 1960's for privacy to the sanctuary of St. Simons Island. And this is the most riveting part of her narrative. This deeply private and spiritual woman not only absorbed her new surroundings, she also created a mystique about the island and its history.

Diary of a Novel: The Story of Writing Margaret's story

This is only one of the many revelations in Eugenia Price's intimate account of the many months she spent sorting through voluminous historical research and writing Margaret's Story, the third novel in her Florida trilogy. Published as a companion to the novel, this journal offers a fascinating view of the author at work as the novel developed week by week. Here, for the sharing, is her excitement as her story's characters emerge-living, breathing "people" who become for the duration more real to her than those who are part of her day-to-day existence. Here, too, is her joy on "good" writing days, her anxiety in times of creative uncertainty, her frustrations at unavoidable interruptions-and her courage in resisting discouragement and discomfort (through most of this period she was plagued with vertigo caused by labyrinthitis). From time to time she isolated herself in a St. Augustine motel to work undisturbed, but when at home on St. Simons Island she managed to continue with the novel and be at the same time a caring friend to everyone who needed her. In Diary of a Novel the reader will encounter many of the friends met in St. Simons Memoir and make, with the author, some new friends as well. Most of all, this behind-the-scenes narrative will give a new dimension to the experience of reading the novel Margaret's Story. Eugenia Price, author of many books of religious inspiration, came to fiction midway in her career. Altogether her works have reached more than thirteen million readers.

At Home on St. Simons

Here, for the first time outside the pages of a small Island newspaper called Georgia's Coastal Illustrated, Eugenia shares with her worldwide reading public, some of what life was like during the first years in which she and her best friend and fellow writer, Joyce Blackburn, were becoming Islanders. "These short pieces," Genie says, "Include my observations day by day of what it was like at last to be at home on St. Simons. We were learning how to be neighbors, after so many years of complex life in the huge northern city of Chicago; learning how to care deeply for people with whom, at first glance, we had little in common. We were understanding what it really meant to have come home." Eugenia Price, called by many St. Simons' own "beloved invader", tells you here about those early years as they were being lived. Her St. Simons Memoir, cherished by thousands, was written from memory and notes in old desk calendars, but At Home on St. Simons illuminates some of the experiences which most changed her - as they occurred. More than fourteen million people have read Eugenia Price's books which have been translated into fifteen languages. Much of the magic these millions remember so vividly years after the reading, began in the simply, sad, joyous and absorbing events related to this singular volume. Never before published is a brand new opening chapter, in which Ms. Price attempts to explain-almost as to herself-why, in the face of such drastic change on the once provincial little coastal island, she is still-at home on St. Simons. Her readers do not have to see the Island firsthand, to recognize their own response to her sense of place.

Leave Yourself Alone

According to Eugenia Price, the emotionally healthy person is the one who is focused outside of the self and whose attention is directed toward God and other people. In Leave Yourself Alone, she explores specific areas of life-work, prayer, conversation, relationships-where people can and should "leave themselves alone." In her own inimitable and charming style, Ms. Price prods listeners to turn to Him in times of trouble. She states "As long as we are pulled inward, wringing our own hands in despair and self-attention, we don't have a free hand to reach for God's grace. If we mean to leave ourselves alone, we must keep a free hand for what He has to give. He always knows exactly what we need." Timely and full of the wisdom that has made Ms. Price a bestselling writer of inspirational books, this updated edition of Leave Yourself Alone is an important addition to The Eugenia Price Treasury of Faith.

No Pat Answers: Looking Squarely at Life's Most Difficult Questions

In this inspirational work, the author offers concrete advice on how to cope with life's greatest tragedies, challenges, and disappointments. She reminds her readers that there are no "pat answers" to why misfortunes sometimes occur, and that these troubles are not necessarily tests of one's love for God or punishment for one's sins. She shares with us some of the challenges in her own life and the lives of her readers, and she reveals how we can grow closer to Jesus Christ, as she has, by accepting Him as the one true answer to life's tough and seemingly unanswerable questions.

The Unique World of Women

In The Unique World of Women, Eugenia Price creates unforgettable, intimate portraits of Keturah, Mary of Jerusalem, and other women from the Bible and relates their troubles to the dilemmas women face today. She reinforces the notion that God needed women then and He needs them now-women who will witness to His love and use their unique sensitivity and compassion in order to better our fragmented and ailing society. In simple yet provocative language, Ms. Price shares what she has learned from these Biblical women, what God has taught her, and what He is still trying to teach women today. Originally published to great acclaim in 1969, The Unique World of Women is filled with Eugenia Price's sage advice on how twentieth-century women can learn from the trials and tribulations suffered by the women of the Bible.

Just As I Am

In these chaotic times, when many people who claim to be Christian are searching for relevance in the secular to justify their worldly aspirations, much of the Christian heritage is being ignored or discarded. But Miss Eugenia Price turns back time for a moment and in these early Victorian lyrics she finds surprisingly sound, contemporary meaning that stands boldly above the ideas of today's so-called radical thinkers.

Learning to Live From the Acts

Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words that make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul's last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within. Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to "happen," and in those first conflict-torn, joy-filled days, we are able to see how it was meant to be, even now, for those of us who call ourselves Christians. Miss Price writes "Why it is not this way for us now, or why it is, at best, only this way now and then, I feel we must decide. I find little or no doctrine in the Acts, but I do find life, and great and simple helps in learning to live it." Learning to Live from the Acts is a sequel to the author's book, Learning to Live from the Gospels.

Make Love Your Aim

We can only understand them enough to practice them if we know the way God defines them. How does He do this? Through Jesus Christ, the final yet continuing revelation of God's true intentions toward all of us. Those who are familiar with Eugenia Price's books will recognize this as a recurring theme. Make Love Your Aim develops it with imagination and versatility: "Jesus said, 'If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.' But He was offering to wave no magic wand over our heads so that we could do as we pleased. He also said, 'This is my commandment, That you love one another as I have loved you.' His is the love of the Cross, without self-defense, without self-pity-and totally free." Miss Price's style is maturing noticeable in vigor, accuracy, and objectivity. Here is a bold thinker who can write, a committed Christian who can light up experiences common to us all in a language literate and understandable. As her readers and listeners have come to expect, she does not hesitate to share a viewpoint that has rejected the hot-house conditioning and automatic answers that produce impotent disciples. Rather, she invites us to take a bold look at the pretensions that have been substituted for reality, the doctrinal escapes too long preferred to God himself. And there is more. There is an underlying reverence, a compassion that springs from a most personal attention to the very subject: love-Christ's kind of love!
