Peep the video of Denzel and Pauletta discussing why they decided to get involved with “the Bible Experience,” one of the fastest-selling audio Bibles in the country.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!
What an absolutely beautiful couple. Love the idea of the audio Bible. Love Denzel Washington.
