[edit: a new recording of Elpis Israel is underway, God willing. Please stay tuned!]
Some months ago, a brother gave me the complete reading of Bro. John Thomas’ book Elpis Israel. The reading is from the 13th edition, 1942. I do not know who did the reading. The recording was probably done some years ago as the files were converted from 90 minute cassette tapes. Unfortunately, there were a few sections that were missing. So I have endeavored to read them and splice them into the missing sections. Occasionally, you will hear them in a different voice in the recording. When you listen to the reading, if you notice a section that I have missed, please let me know so I can add any further missing parts.
