David R. Smith

Matthew did a fantastic job narrating this very enjoyable book. I am so happy I stumbled upon JKB a little while back. His books are so fun and clever.
Great reader for great read.
Meuse
Was a fun read, though recommended. Everything seems so true to life, and answered so many questions the Bible avoids. Should be canonized, In my keen opinion.
Very entertaining
Seven Archers
A whimsical, story full of dry wit, and tongue-in-cheek humor. The author has a great imagination. The reader did an excellent job.
laughed my rear off!

I want more!! Too short
ignorez da systemic oppression of BIPOCs
Bill Cosby
Biblical cannon needs to be reco textualized in terms of marginalized peoples overcoming systemic oppression by white males. Since this author does not discuss LatinX oppression it is Heretical and must be burned
