Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament

NKJV Audio Bible

By: Thomas Nelson Publishing

Narrated by: Johnny Cash

"I wear the black for those who've never read or listened to the words that Jesus said."—Johnny Cash

Listen to the New Testament (NKJV) read in its entirety by music legend Johnny Cash. After 20 years of encouragement from his mother to record the Bible, he approached the recording of the New Testament with "fear, respect, awe, and reverence for the subject matter."

Cash added, "I also did it with a great deal of joy, because I love the Word." Enjoy listening to one of the most distinctive voices of our time in this wonderful audio edition of the Word of God.

What did you love best about Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament?

Johnny Cash's unique voice, together with his heartfelt, poignant, clear reading, not overly-dramatic, but expressive.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Give me another lifetime and an independent income, and yes.

Any additional comments?

I'm glad I was made to memorize the books of the NT in order, and that the letters of St. Paul appear in descending order of length, because I'm pretty good at guessing where to find the beginning of the books of the New Testament. This is a useful skill only because there is NO INDICATION where any particular book begins and ends. (PS: Part II, section 8 is Romans) and that is my only complaint. Otherwise this Audible book is an outreach from Heaven.

Enjoyed it very much!

I enjoyed this one! This is pretty much the only way I've been able to listen to the word for an extended time period.

Very Good

This is my favorite version of the New Testament that I've heard so far. I really like Johnny's voice. It comes across in such a warm and calm way, which results for a very enjoyable listen.

He reads it like he knows the author

Unpretentious and unaffected reading. Real, with understanding. Not with fake holiness, but real like a man who has been there.
