Critic reviews

Audie Award Winner, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2008

Audie Award Winner, Multi-voiced Performance, 2008

"The lavish production pulls out all the stops.... If a modern multimedia production experience is what you're after, enjoy the fine voices and often dynamic dramatized readings." (AudioFile)

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.

Incredible

This very well done version of the old testament kept me engaged throughout the reading.

It is very powerful.

Great way to hear the Bible!

I love listening to the Bible being read by so many great actors and actresses!

good but

If you could sum up Inspired By...The Bible Experience in three words, what would they be?

the bible read as if alive

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inspired By...The Bible Experience?

the voices are excellent

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

n/n

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

all

Any additional comments?

the problem comes with trying to find particular chapters of the bible indexing could be much better

Loooove

Love this version, my favorite version. Love the musics, reading, and everything. Completely love it

Excellent Narration of This Poweful Book

The Old Testament in this version is narrated with excellence. The music and sound effects add to the experience.

An Exciting Audio Bible

I have loved listening to the Bible Experience. It's great to listen to when you are in a place where you can not read (even better when you can follow along in your Bible). They did an excellent job. I would strongly recommend it to anyone (especially those that struggle to find time to read the Bible or have a hard time understanding it).

so far so good

This is a very exciting listen with a wonderful cast of actors. The only problem is there is a lot of background noise, ie; rushing water, birds, animals, etc... which makes it a little difficult to focus on the words.

Excellent A++ I will be recommending to everyone

This was my first time listening to the whole Old Testament and I couldn't get enough. It was crafted well and made excellently. I've listen to about 5 hours though out a whole day.
