About Bessie's Prayer

Bessie's prayer was that her son, Walter, would make something worthwhile out of his life. This podcast presents excerpts from that amazing life, read by Walter himself. From his grandparents navigating America post-slavery to his retirement as a Circuit Chief Judge in Illinois, Bessie's Prayer follows a rich history full of adventure, challenges, surprise, and faith. Bessie's Prayer is available in paperback, ebook, or as an audiobook.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
