Extremely powerful. The bible changed my life!

The narrator & the live sounds in the background were amazing. I bought the full bible & I'm going to listen to it for the 2nd time.

Good presentation

Just wish in the chapters section it would reference the book and verse to make it easier to look up in other versions in written form.

Chapters markers are bad, but performance is great

The performance is great and I really enjoy listening. This brings so much depth to the word. But unlike most audio books, I don't want to listen to this beginning to end. I want to skip to the portion of the Bible I'm currently studying. There are about 250 chapters with NO chapter titles. That makes finding "Philemon" pretty hard. Even harder, by the time you come to the shorter epistles, chapter breaks do not align to books. So you find things like the end of Hebrews and the beginning of James merged into one "chapter". Whoever lined this up as an audio book doesn't have a good feel for the basic structure of the Bible.

Wish chapters were laid out better, still great!

If you could sum up The Word of Promise Audio Bible New Testament NKJV in three words, what would they be?

Epic must-buy

Any additional comments?

This is so fantastic and really brings the bible to life. It makes it so engaging and easy to follow. The actors, the sound effects, and the music are all phenomenal.

The only thing I wish is that instead of chapter 1, chapter 2, etc. the chapters reflected the bible book names at least. This would make it easier to reference things you hear in the audiobook in the written bible.

What I did in the meanwhile, in case it's helpful for others, is to type the first few words of the passage into google and the chapter and verse will always come up.

That's just the one opportunity for improvement, but overall this is epic and a must-buy for anyone interested in the bible.

absolutely amazing

I never thought I could get through the Bible on my own. I downloaded the Old Testament and the New and it was like listening to the story like a child being read to. Beautifully done. I want to go back and start again! I did use a Bible Study Guide to also help through it...

Incredible! A whole new way to hear Scripture!

Ever wanted to listen to the Bible in a way that was both faithful to the text, and with authentic voice overs for each of the different characters, major and minor. Jim Caviezel blows it out of the water as Jesus; Ernie Hudson, Louis Gossett, Jr., Luke Perry, and company nail it as the disciples.

Even if you don't have a Bible to read, with this you have one you can listen to, and it delivers! God bless everyone involved in making this possible!

I listen to it over and over

I love listening to the Bible narrated like this. I love the music, the sound effects. I listen to it all the time, I go to bed listening to it. It is so edifying to my soul and spirit. I wish it could be done in Spanish and other languages.

REPENT FOR HE IS COMING

Great voice actors, music and sound effects. Listen and repent before Jesus comes for us.
