The National Center for Constitutional Studies (NCCS) has made their popular 5000 Year Leap book available for download — download The 5000 Year Leap audio book free now. Read by Earl Taylor, Jr., two formats are available for downloading: Windows Media (individual chapters also available in this format) and Apple iPod.

According to W. Cleon Skousen, author of  The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World, the Founding Fathers shared 28 essential beliefs that provide for the amazing creation and prosperity of our nation. These 28 beliefs made it possible for our nation to enjoy more progress in 200 years than the world had made in the previous 5,000 — which explains the title’s 5,000 year leap. Skousen devotes one chapter to each of these 28 principles.
