"ANGELS not zombies"
Great! Finally a recording that does not exude what I feel is mediocrity, that makes angels sound somewhat awe-inspiring rather than echoing zombies, and a recording with music other than elevator music. There are nice transitions here between narrators and some great juxtapositions between gospel music and the meaning of the verses it accompanies. The narrators provide excellent interest and emotion to the verses.
"Brought the Bible to Life"
This was well done! My husband and I listened to the new testament on our road trip this summer. We found that the time flew because we were so involved in the stories of the Bible. It made it real to me. The emotions conveyed by the voice actors were well done, rarely corny (although there were a few times). The only negative thing was that the background music and noises sometimes detracted from the story rather than adding to it. All in all, well done!
"Good Content but lacking quality."
After listening to the sample, I was excited to download The Bible Experience and start listening to it. I was disappointed that the audio quality did not sound as good as the sample. I really wish audible.com used a high quality encoding process instead of their current 32kbps 22khz setting. Most of the time the lower bitrate is fine for spoken word audio but since this book contains spoken word mixed along with music and sound effects, the lower quality bitrate sounds like listening to it on a AM Radio. May be best to purchase the physical MP3 CD version since it is encoded at a much higher quality.
"Best audio Bible ever"
I have purchased a few audio Bibles in the past, this blows everything else away. This is Hollywood movie quality. The background noises and the recognizable voices they use make the experience very enjoyable. I listen to the Bible every day when I get ready in the mornings now, best thing I've purchased through audible.
"not user friendly"
I like the narration on this audio Bible but I don't like the fact that they don't announce chapter/verses and you can't search it. It just chapter 1, 2, 3 instead of which book of Bible it is. It's a pain if you are interested in just listening to a particular part because you can't find it. I won't be buying the Old Testament as I had planned.
"Worth It!!!"
For those who would rather have the names of the books instead of the generic part 1,2,3... labels, here is the info you so you can relabel it in itunes.
Part 1: Matthew-Luke
Part 2: John-2 Corinthians
Part 3: Galations-Revelations
Also enter the numbers accordingly for each part in the disc number criteria so the books will be sorted in the proper order on your ipod/iphone.
"Absolutely top-notch production and reading"
The 'Inspired By' series is a top-notch production. The narration, audio quality, music, and sound effects are outstanding. Whether you are interested in the Bible as a Divinely inspired text, a historical document, or a great work of literature, I think you will find this audiobook well worth the value to purchase.
"Awesome"
I can't believe that you can purchase the entire New Testament for only 1 credit. This audio book is an astounding re-creation of the NT. I enjoyed the background affects, it makes you feel as if you were there observing. It stirred my soul and I could better understand what the different passages were trying to say because of the quality of the narrators acting.
"Very Satisfied"
This is the third Bible that I've downloaded from Audible.com and this is by far the best.
It is easy to understand and is interesting and captivating, particularly the Old testament.It has good sound-effects and different character speakers.The speakers speak at a normal pace so that the listener has time to understand what is being said, which is good for me because I don't like it when people talk too fast.
I am waiting to get a better listening device so I can listen to it in sound quality of 4. Right now my present device only will accept a sound quality of 3. But never the less, it is still good enough.
It is my favorite and is great when I have insomnia and want something to listen to or just during the day when I am relaxing.
I would rate it as 6 stars but since there are only 5 stars, thus I rate it a 5.
"best ever"
I'm a long time christian and read the new testament a lot. But, the multi voice format revealed trues that hit me hard.
