Excellent recording

I'm a long time Audible junkie and the reader makes or breaks the listening experience. Max McLean is a master recording artist. His voice and reading pace are perfect for listening. 5 stars

Excellent reading of God's word to humanity

Not overly dramatized like some similar attempts which distract from the actual message. Excellent balance of focus upon the message with some dramatization to emphasize key passages.

History's best seller!

This is THE BOOK. No other book has had nearly the impact on the world that this Book of books has had. You simply cannot be historically or culturally literate without intimate acquaintance with this book.

The narration is first rate. Only drawback is that it is very difficult to navigate. I suggest listening to it all the way through from Genesis to Revelation. From beginning to end, and making a bookmark every time you begin a new book of the Bible.

This is the only book that the Only God inspired. Do yourself a favor, ask the God of the Bible, the Father of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to give you eyes to see awesome things from His Holy Word!

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. This is it! Get ready for a guided tour of reality by the Creator and Sustainer of everything that has been created.

Simply Fantastic

I love SCRIPTURE and I find this way to be a great way to bee in the Word. My only negative is the Bible is divided by Books the chapters. This version only has chapters, starting at one with no division by Books, making it difficult to navigate to a particular passage I might want to hear. Otherwise it is great!! 💗❤️💖💕

This Is A Bible Translation I've Grown To Love!

Well read. In alignment with other translations. It is also easy to understand, even at 2X.

5 stars but please read**********

I love listening to this. However Audible apparently refuses to let them retitle the chapters, therefore making it hugely difficult to navigate easily to a certain book, chapter and verse. Come on Audible!!!get with it!!!!

I'm so grateful!

I love everything about this audible really. There's only one thing I pray that would change about most audiobooks is that they would title the chapters! That'd be a huge plus! If I was to consider the missing titles (ease of navigation) in my rating, it'd be a 3-star rate, but I'm choosing to rate the narrator and presentation only.
All the way from the spoken Word of God, to the narrator, down to the background music is just seamlessly awesome!
I play this audible nearly every night & morning. Hallelujah 🙌🏾 ‼️

clear reader. some background music unappreciated.

I'm a speed listener. some parts had background music which became awkward above 2x speed. otherwise, he was a vertu good reader.

Love this recording by Max Mclean

BEST AUDIO BIBLE READING I'VE EVER LISTENED TO!

Max McLean does an awesome job bringing the characters to life while providing interesting inflection and tonality to the reading. It is by far the best audio version of the bible that I've listened to.
