The Leonard Lopate Show

The Great Gospel Women, Vol. 2
The Great Gospel Women

Christmas Gospel

Monday, December 25, 2006

Leonard starts today's show off with his annual Christmas Gospel Show. Later on, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward P. Jones (author of The Known World) tells us about his new collection of short stories. And we take a behind the scenes look at Evangelical America.
