The star of GREAT WHITE HOPE, STAR WARS, and THE LION KING reads the complete King James Version of the New Testament in a steady, powerful style that only someone with Jones's vocal talents can muster. His performance is beautiful; he reads the entire work in a gentle tone that is so compelling that the listener will find it hard to switch off. Soft piano music with orchestral accompaniment plays in the background like church incense, filling the air with a subtle, tranquil musical aroma. This is a far cry from Jones's Darth Vader. A truly inspiring production. S.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
