Best Audio ever

This is one of the best audio Bibles ever. The characters are well laid out for us to follow through and one gets ensync with the whole narration and the ministration to one's soul penetrates deep for a spiritual transformation to take place. It's the Power in the Word actually.🙌✌️

Simply Amazing!

I can't wait to experience the new testament! You can feel the way the actors were motivated.

NOT THE COMPLETE OLD TESTAMENT

This stops at Psalm 100. WHY? It says complete Old Testament but it is not. I really do love this but I am disappointed that I did not get the whole thing.

My Most Favorite Part

it Is My Most Memorable b/c Hearing the Song Of Solomon is just how I imagined Love to Be&Hearing Denzel Voice increases My desire to wait to fall in Love with A Man who feels those words to be true about Me-I Love The Whole Bible Experience but this Helps A Single Woman like Me Believe There Is A Man just for Me who Will Touch&Agree with Me that We Are the Only One for One another-Great Job!

OUTSTANDING

I listen to this over and over again. I've had it now for about 5 years and I I listen to this over and over again. I've had it now for about 5 years and I listen at least twice a year and I always pick up something different or something new are intriguing that didn't catch my attention before. God constantly reveals Himself through His word Every time I listen to it.
The actors are outstanding in the sound quality is amazing. Hearing the sounds of everyday life as it would have been back then in the background makes it even more real and I feel like I'm walking the same path that they are at the time. This is a must have for any serious Christian that wants to immerse themselves in the word of God.

So...Where's the rest of it?

It's Genesis through 2 Chronicles... really?
The Inspired By media group is outstanding and this is a faithful presentation of my favorite book.... but not all of it is here.
This should be called "Part 1" or something I downloaded this wanting ALL of what it says it is: The Old Testament.


So... Isaiah... Jeremiah.... Danie... Habakkuk .... Malachi.... where's the rest of it?

wonderful dramatic presentation

The drama was excellent, it truly was an exciting way to listen to the Word of God. what a great thing to get so many quality actors involved

Great casting for the voices.

Wish each audio file showed which the Bible chapter was being read. Hard to go back later.

love this such a blessing

My sister bought me the new testament for Christmas a few years back but I wanted to start from the beginning. So bought it on audiable. Absolutely love, reading my bible is more clearer to me. I suggest it to people a lot.
