Jim Boyd reading Hurlbut's Story of the Bible
Jim Boyd sat out to accomplish a seemingly insurmountable task - putting to tape his reading of the classic Story of the Bible by Jessie Lyman Hurlbut. Hurlbut published his legendary work in 1904; Jim Boyd recorded these in the late 1980s/early 1990s. They have been digitized and uploaded here for all to enjoy! Listen and follow along in your copy as Jim Boyd - "PawPaw" to the grandkids and great-grandkids - reads the Story of the Bible!
