Norman Vincent Peale "Become What You Want to Be" (restored by Tom Laskey)

[@LivinginCentralNewJersey-ep4bq]

hello Tom, Thanks for reviving these tapes of Norman V. Peale as a child my Mom would turn on Peales sermons on Sunday evening just after dinner.... I always believed that my MOM did right by turning to this Mom because at the time 1977 Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer; she turned to a life of positive energy... and Thank GOD at 86 she is still with us....

Thank you Tom for posting these invaluable sermons. Thank you for your patience and perseverance to share these in top quality audio. You will never know how these sermons have lifted me when I was at the lowest point in my life. THANK YOU TOM!

Thanks very much for making these and also compiling the additional collection on the right, which are a fantastic resource.

Thank you for providing this invaluable service. I was a member of Marble Collegiate Church for 15 years whilst living in New York City. Although Dr. Peale had retired by that time, I did have the opportunity to hear him preach a couple of times. Even though he was at an advanced age, he remained a gifted and inspirational speaker. Dr. Arthur Caliandro succeeded Dr. Peale and he too had a great natural ability to communicate. And I, like you, collected the tapes of his sermons. I still have 40-50 cassettes of Dr. Caliandro's sermons and a handful of Dr. Peale's. I was wondering what equipment you use to digitize the tapes? I want to save these amazing sermons before the tapes degrade too much.

Taaffeite, I play them back on a JVC tape deck and record them onto a DAW using cakewalk. Sometimes I add a little compression to catch some of the loudest spots. I had a few that my wife recorded at home off the radio and I use a noise gate to kill the noise between phrases. A few of the tapes I had to splice when they broke. I have Calliandro tapes from the same period and we most Sundays when to both services- Calliadro in the first service and then a coffee break downstairs to socialize and then back in the pews for Peale and the second service. I was thinking about asking people if they were interested in converting the Calliadro tapes after I finish Peale's.

@@Rejuvenary I think it would be great if you could convert Dr. Caliandro's taped sermons to KZbin videos. The Caliandro tapes I have were from ~ 1993 to 2004; so yours would have preceded mine by about ten to twelve years.

Nobody like Dr. Peale

Donald. Peale has been referenced as one of the top 10 orators of the 20th century alongside people like Churchill. Peale did all his speeches without notes standing to the left of the lectern. The only time he would reference paper was if he was reading a paragraph from a letter someone wrote to him.
