Love it!

I love this! James Earl Jones reads the bible so calmed. His voice is so soft. I listen to this all the time. Currently listening to the book of Revelation since I am reading the last book of the bible. This is great audible. This is relaxing to listen to. There is a lot of names in the bible I can't pronounce he is spot on. God bless Mr James Earl Jones!

learned what I could not read I heard thank you

Narrator was surprisingly pleasant, strong quiet gentle with the words he read, thank you for not sounding like Roman soldier or paid actor and Jesus did not sound like he was emaciated nor did God sound dangerous. it was plain, simple and real.

it's the New Testament read by James Earl Jones.

what else do I need to say ? he does sound a bit rushed, I think it was in the mixing,so slow it up to 90 % to get it about right.
