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.

Awesome performance keeps one tuned in

I play at 1.5 speed so my mind does not drift. Great narration. ..good voice modulation to keep one's attention. I've learned sooo very much by listening straight through.

Great reading voice

Any additional comments?

Great listen, however, the chapter reference do not let you find a specific section as to Book of the Bible and Chapter. That makes searching a hit and miss effort

I Posted photos of Chapter # vs Books of the Bible

Love this but has to make my own list of which chapters start the various books of the Bible. I shared this on Amazon Reviews with photos. Hope it helps others.

Listener's Bible ESV Max McLean

This is an excellent reading of the Holy Scriptures. Mr. McLean's voice is clear and distinctive. McLean's voice is one of the few voices out there that can do justice to the beauty and majesty of God's Word.

God will guide us until death. psalm 48:14.

someone once said either sin will keep you from the Bible or the Bible will keep you from sin. there is nothing more constructive the person can do in a day them to read the Bible. it is your guide, your Pillar of Strength, and your power source. those who read it benefit. Those who neglect it suffer loss.
