The Word of Promise The Gift of Psalms (Reviewed 3/25/2009)The Gift of Psalms is simply described as dramatic readings of portions of the book of Psalm. Dramatic is the key word because that's how many of the different passages are read. On this Audio set you will find many actors such as Gary Sinse from CSI: NY who read through the various passages. I admit, ...
