About this audiobook
This book consists of two titles, which are the following:
Book 1: The Africans have a long history, although not everything has been preserved in writing. And many folklore stories have been passed on through generations. The African tribes vary as much as the colors of the rainbow.
It is for these reasons, and entertainment as well, that this book has been put together. It entails several mythological tales that refer to African gods, creatures, and entities. Some of these have morals. Others are symbolic of one thing or another.
All in all, this is a short but fun and intriguing book about African culture and ancient religions from that region.
Book 2: The African people hide secret treasures of wisdom and spiritual insights. In this guide, you will become more familiar with some of the most common gods and goddesses in African tribal worship.
Moreover, you will read or listen to some interesting stories that were told from one generation to the next. Some of these myths may inspire you, others might confuse you, but in a general sense, it is useful and fascinating to learn more about them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wanted to mention a little something about this specific book, and so I am making the effort to write a comment. I guess the first number of sections were my favorite ones, since the whole idea that the title refers to, gets described. All the fundamentals are there. Later on in the book, more depth gets added, and I think this is what makes it so great. The pronunciation of the words in this specific audiobook was terrific, in addition to all the information contained in it. Based upon that, I am really glad that I bought the book. It was well worth my time.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a hidden gem. This audio includes valuable info. I did not stop listening till the end. That's how much I liked it. I was pleased to hear the appropriate pronunciation of all the words by a competent audio book creator. It's an appealing idea, the entire premise of this book. You don't typically see that in some other books. And that's why it can use an individual like me to compose a few positive things about it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's good to tune in to a book like this one. Such an enjoyable idea. I think I will let my siblings partner listen to it. They need to know that there are actually audiobooks like this in the market. I was able to comprehend every thing clearly, not only because the narrator articulated the words nicely, but also because the information in it consisted of new facts to be learned.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The difference between this audiobook and other audiobooks, is that this one is a lot more enjoyable. The narrator's voice was simply relaxing. Did I already mention that it seemed really professional? Well, it did. Yes, and that's why I loved listening to it so much. There were many things within this book that I didn't understand until now. I am thankful I discovered it. It was worth my time, especially because I listened to it while driving my car to work.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a really good thing when you can simply put on your earphones and tune in to an audiobook like this. I took advantage of this book. It was an eye-opener. I was intending to find out more about this concept anyway, so it was actually no accident that I ran into this book. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was trying to find. I discovered a lot simply by soaking all of it up. The info was fantastic, particularly if you already understand a little bit about the theme. Really, you might know nothing at all about it and still follow along effortlessly.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dear users, I hope you find this message. I want you to realize that this is an impressive audiobook. I managed to comprehend everything clearly, not only because the narrator said words very well, but also because the information in it included new things to be learned. I don't believe the word "awesome" does this specific book justice. There needs to be a much better word, and I will keep looking, since it deserves something great to be said about it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There are a lot of aspects I appreciated about this, but I can only write so much. When you're fired up about something, you typically tell others about it. So, that's what I'm doing. I have actually discovered that certain books are pretty much garbage, and that saddens me. On the other hand this audiobook didn't follow that trend. It's actually really good. So, I appreciate it.
