    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 9, 2012
    based on 27 ratings

Someone said that the idea of redemption in a world of sin and tragedy constitutes the noblest concept ever to enter the mind of God or the awareness of a human ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 31, 2022
     | 2,408 views
