Mason and his wife, Pamela, telling the stories quite simply and conversationally, with the little girl interrupting to ask questions or to offer similes. But content counts, and in content interpretation and theology is crucial. Not being expert in the field of records, I don't know how you can hear-before-you-buy and find out if these recordings say what you want said in your home or your church.
The foregoing caution would apply to a more ambitious series of biblical records by The Library of Sound Education (124 East 40th St., N. Y. 16). This series covers 12 O.T. stories with six records, with about 20 minutes per story. It also offers four N.T. stories on two records. Leif Erickson serves as narrator for both series.
My slight familiarity with this treatment of biblical materials makes me hope that someone is not looking upon the Scriptures as hills with gold in them, for this Great Treasure has a way of taking the measure of all who attempt to mine it for profit and gain rather than for spiritual enrichment and understanding.
