Reviews
Lovely Christian Story
jbrown
The narration is nicely done with a pleasant voice. Religion is not overt as the tale focuses on love of our fellow man. Does earthly wealth mean happiness. Highly recommend!
Wonderful
Ortonz
Good, solid story. Reader has a lovely voice. Overlook mispronunciations of unfamiliar terms...pious, beatitudes, petulant. Reading aloud isn't easy. I respect the Reader who took the time to volunteer, whole I am just the listener.
Nice story
Wendy Mathieu
This was a nice, Christian story. I especially liked the part where preacher and heathen discover the compassion of God together. Nicely read by LikeManyWaters
