    I think the chapter on Israel is very biased and incomplete.

    Great product, screwed up download

    Diane

    I downloaded the MP3 and it’s all jumbled in my iTunes. It’s a lot of work to get it to play sequentially as it should. 11 cds worth of edits, it would have been easier to upload the cds myself.

      I’m sorry you had to do all of that! Apple software does not like to play nicely with anything but Apple products. Customers have advised me that it is easiest to use an audiobook player app for non-Apple products, and that there are free ones available.

      I did double-check, and the files downloaded in order (not in iTunes). They are just standard mp3 files.

      The revised edition has 45 new illustrations, of higher quality than the illustrations in the original, and better typesetting that is easier to read.

      There is a pronunciation guide and a timeline with associated chapters.

      There have been some revisions of the text to improve readability and accuracy, but no chapters have been added or deleted. If you have an original text, you can use it with the Revised Activity Book if you wish. There are a few review questions that have changed and such, but it’s very workable.
