Joe Le PlumeI Say. . .Hear God Speak: A New Mythology For The Modern Era
Joseph Campbell lamented that the modern age suffers from the absence of a working mythology. "I Say... Hear God Speak" offers a new universal mythology that redefines the nature of man, the nature of God, and the nature of the eternal relationship which binds humanity to God. You will not be disappointed. Check it out at www.isayhearGodspeak.com
