Homeschooling with a MISSION

Our review of Heirloom Audio Productions In the Reign of Terror kept all three of us captivated during our long hours of summer travel. What a thrill to be transported back in time to the days of the French Revolution through this superb radio drama production. We experienced the truth of history through the life of Harry whose tenure with a Christian French Aristocratic family painted a firm picture of what living during the days of the Robespierre must have been like. The professional cast, strong soundtrack and effects combined with G.A. Henty’s authorship and Bill Heid’s production team at Heirloom Audio created a riveting story, making 2 1/2 hours of road travel pass in a blink.

In The Reign of Terror is true history from a Christian perspective imbibed with the moral character traits of duty, bravery, and honesty. In the words of our five year-old, who listened intently to the entire drama, “I like Harry because he was such a hero and did what was right!” The audio story takes Harry from his English home to the French estate of the St. Caux family. With the onslaught of violence and overturn of the aristocracy, Harry commits his loyalty not only to this family but to truth and right. Anticipating the deliverance of the entire family, your heart is torn as you are pulled into the biased court for the execution sentence of several of the family. Yet, hope is renewed as Harry perseveres and through a providential brush with Robespierre is able to save the others. This is truly an adventure that is worth your listening time – time of which passes unnoticed as your imagination soars with each track.

Heirloom Audio Productions understands the media-driven and addicted world that invades our lives daily, bringing along with it many times a mind-numbing experience of morally degrading stories, inaccurate facts, and poor influences.
