True to it's title

This version of the Bible has been a joy to read and I intend to re read it many times! It has certainly made clear many difficult sentences I have previously struggled with in the Bible. It has made reading the Bible both more informative and vastly more enjoyable! Thank-you Jack Blanco!

Good as an introductionary piece

I believed this book helped me deepen my faith and understanding, it did. However, I've decided this audio book and it's translations to be inaccurate and altered from the original materials. This was written and funded by Seventh Day Adventists. Many SDA beliefs are found in this book and the narration is altered to fit their unique views of the Word. I would suggest someone listen to this only once before studying the Bible by reading it themselves. I think I have "outgrown" this book in my own pursuit of biblical knowledge. Although, my knowledge is limited on the contents of the Bible, I can say even I was able to pick out the strangeness of some narrations contrary to what I've read before. A majority of this seems to hold true to Bibles widely available, however it is not accurate enough for me to accept as the true word of God.

Clear word

I really like this version because it’s easy to understand. I recommend it for anyone who wants to listen the Bible in easy and understandable English. But it could be better if the chapters were written in the Bible books name instead of numbers.

Understanding Jesus's Love

I have thoroughly enjoyed the reading of this book... Lonnie Melashanko puts effort in reading The Clear Word.. Nice relaxing voice to listen to and yet not monotone voice.... I recommend listening to this book over and over again....

The clarity this gives to the Holy Bible.

Excellent overall. This would be better if the Books & Chapters were listed so we knew where to find specific references.

Clear Word Audiobook

Like the Clear Word Bible , but wish the audiobook chapters was not number but the names of the books was written out so you can go to the exact book you want to hear.
