Balanced guidance from multiple perspectives

I found the multiple perspectives helpful to seeing the teachings in a more complete way.

RICHARD POE

Mr. POE,

Can you please narrate all my audiobooks, please!! Lol. I can listen to this guy all day with his unique flare and eloquent style of mysterious tone of story- telling. The best comparison would be of course Alexander Scourby the “Voice” of the Holy Bible.

Keep up the excellent work Mr. Poe. Hopefully you could narrate the greatest book of all, the 1611 KJV Holy Bible. I can only hope 🙏🏼

Excellent audiobook! Nothing’s better then having a book stimulate your perceptions, and instantly SHIFT it.
