At least one potential narrator said:
"I do not deliver religious or political voiceover in 1st person, as that is what we generally refer to as "implied endorsement". Would it be possible to re-write the text to eliminate the 1st person context?"
I don't think I want to re-write the 1st person.
It doesn't seem right to change anything. We learned by reading exactly what we read. Ray's papers aren't bringing people to know God - God is bringing people to read what He gave Ray.
Please forgive me if this is offensive, but it seems like this is advertising. It has a feel of the world to me. Honestly, I mean this from my heart - Ray wrote what God told him to write - and Ray wrote it as according to his nature. God chose Ray, not the other way around.
It may be that God wants Ray's papers out there, but to change anything seems as though we're trying to improve on what was given. If you choose someone to read Ray's papers, God's revelation to Ray, then God will help you find the right person.
If I'm wrong, if I don't understand, if my heart is in the wrong place, If I'm out of line, if I'm looking at this carnally, then please, in advance - forgive me.
