Opens up the Bible like never before

This is a semi-dramatised version featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. It brings the Scriptures to life and is unlike any other audiobook of the Bible you'll have heard to date. I enjoyed the energy in this and found that it carried you along with enthusiasm and actually got me 'feeling' the book rather than reading it (if that makes any sense). Highly recommended for those who are finding their path and attempting to read the Bible for the first time, young people, and anyone who want's a new breath of life from the book.

Inspiring

I have listened to various audio bibles throughout the night for over 20 years. Now in my late 50's I tend to wake up several times in the night to hear the scriptures being narrated, it is truly an amazing privilege not open to previous generations.

My only wish with this production is that it gave the chapter numbers so that I could easily look something up which particularly grabbed my attention whilst reading it, as I use the King James Version as my default translation and I don't have the search capability for this version.

The greatest experience ever heard

The bible has never been more clear to me. What a wonderful instrument to teach the word of God. A fantastic read by the best actors.

God has a way of working thru his people!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes!I have bought them as gift in the past

Who was your favorite character and why?

All had there own gift which brought it together

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

I felt I was there!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

You should have been there!

Any additional comments?

Thanks you for bring the story to life! I would like to see this version on T.V.

I used to have the CD set I love having on phone

I used to have the CD set long time ago I'm glad I have it on my phone now thank you audible

Engrossingly Perfect a wonderful experience!

This was better than a Bible Retreat! After years of starts and stops, skipping around and then forgetting where I left off, The Bible Experience took me through. I read along or just listened then read Strong's Concordance. Next month I'm going to listen again; it's that good.
This will hook adults who are new to Bible study and add new enjoyment for those who can recite from each book. The 'Word' feeds the heart and ALL of the cast excite the imagination, draw you into the drama, suspense and tragedy. The cast and the subtle sound effect and music refresh your desire to keep listening. The voices uplift and inspire and those very familiar ones are comforting.
Listen to the Old and New Testaments and discover, rediscover and refresh the excitement and serenity of the Word.

Its the Bible narrated with well known performers.

Its the Bible narrated with well known performers. The sound effects and choir song performances were a great addition.

Loved it!

What made the experience of listening to Inspired By...The Bible Experience the most enjoyable?

I loved the dramatization. The only part that I didn't care for was the intermittent gospel songs that seemed to pop up in the middle of the readings. I found that very distracting and out of place.

my comments

Some was very confusing and left me wondering what I had read. The first four books were very good.
