Hmm. On further investigation, it looks like this is a couple years old. Not sure why Amazon suddenly decided I needed to know about it.

Oh my!

I can’t wait to hear him read the whole burning bush part and the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 20:20

Looks like they redone it or something. New photo and release date (April 15, 2008)

'And he said, O [Shatner big voice]MY[/Shatner big voice] LORD, send, I pray …Shatner extended breathe… thee, by the …Shatner extended breathe… hand of him whom thou …Shatner extended breathe… wilt send. ’
