The funny thing is your AI results returned Josh McDowell, whose first book was first published in 1972.

Yes, but as the list said, "excerpts, but core from older works like Greenleaf's Testimony of the Evangelists, 1846)."

But conservative modern works can surpass those of the past due to having access to more material, incldg. archaeological research. One apologist who has engaged many atheista produced a helpful series on charges that the Biblical stories were "borrowed" from other sources and are therefore fictional. http://www.tektonics.org/copycathub.php

Sure, I can see where the newer has some superior aspects, however I will say, the devaluation of the classics, the devaluation of the proven, and the devaluation of the original sources is in/of itself a problem. These problems should not be ignored. They should be addressed.

The thing about the newer is that I can't make any of those into a free open source audio book or do anything else with them. I'm completely locked out. With the newer books, I simply have to wait for "someone else", and if "someone else" declines to have additional media, well,

It sucks to be me now doesn't it?

I'm not waiting for other people. I'm not waiting for "someone else". I'm going to fix this problem.

It is a problem. That is affirmative. "Someone else" has proven, at least to me, to be unreliable. So "someone else" should just move aside in my opinion.

All of us have been relying on unreliable "someone elses" for far too long.
