I was about to watch something else, but when I saw the name of "Hercule Poirot", I just had to drop everything and watch this!

David Suchet’s voice is so soothing - I could listen to him read anything

I hope he does more of these on the people of the Bible. He is a very thoughtful man . The drawings are nice as well.

Such an easy voice to listen to. David Suchet is s remarkable narrator.

Such a nice documentary presented by one of Britain's finest actors, famous for playing Hercule Poirot but also superbly playing Sigmund Freud in a BBC drama series of the mid 80s. And David is a committed Christian, making regular reading recordings of the New Testament. 🙂🌻💛🙏

This is such a pleasure. Sir David narrating the events of more than two thousand years ago. It is a blessing for those of us who can enjoy it.

Thank you for this. Really, truly - thank you.
The story-telling was executed beautifully, and by Hercule Poirot, no less !!
I’m sorry, I know Sir David Suchet played in many other movies, but he will forever be my Poirot.. 🥰🥰
Enough of that …
Again: thank you. Very well told story about one of my favorite Bible characters. Much appreciated.
