The official editions of the King James contained the books of the Apocrypha until 1796. Most printers did not clear inventories and change to the 66-book version we know today until the mid 1800's. Ethymologically, the word "apocrypha" means "things that are hidden", but why they were hidden is not clear. Listen to find out more!

Glad for this Title but Editor Needed
Revisado: 01-15-20
I applaud Mr. Lumpkin for taking on this project and would not dissuade him from doing more. However I would suggest he have an editor get involved to double check his work as it seems as though he transposes a lot of words as he reads and I read the text along with him.
In many instances this actually changes the meaning of the text for someone who is only listening and not reading along.
For example in Sirach 47:4 Mr Lumpkin reads in reference to King David "In his youth he did not kill a giant" when the actual text reads "In his youth did he not kill a giant."
There are at least 40 or 50 of these misreads that I have found that actually change the meaning of the text. Just make sure you read along with the audio if you listen.

"In mid-July of 1879, John Muir sailed for the first time through the sheer-walled fjords of Alaska's Inside Passage. 'Never before this,' he wrote, 'had I been embosomed in scenery so hopelessly beyond description.' During the previous 15 years, Muir had vanished into the north woods of Canada, walked a thousand miles from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, and nested himself in the granite heart of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Wild nature burned with volcanic intensity in the core of John Muir's soul."
