God is so revealed in His sovereigntry & intimacy

I have been listening to this audio Bible and it is so superb. I love the Amplified Bible but this is entirely different in that it is dramatized, and very professionally done. It is like listening to a motion picture audio. They have captured the essence of each book, of each chapter, with the voice and music bringing you into it and revealing what God is saying in a way that no other dramatized version has done. I have others. When he says, "In the beginning God created...," the enunciation of the text with the orchestra makes it seem as if we know the significance of the event. I got it for the Old Testament because it is harder to be attentive to some passages, while the Amplified Bible brings out meaning in devotional passages where it is easier to connect with God. As I listened through it, I gained a greater respect for God. I saw humanity and the world as not just under His control, but He created everything and has a purpose. The scene where Cain is telling God that because of the punishment on him, that anyone who comes upon him will kill him, God seems so manifested. God established that if they did their punishment would be 7 times greater. The way it was conveyed was so real, I began talking to God as to His mercy there, and He said, no, justice. When it comes to the flood and then the animal sacrifices after leaving Egypt, it is grievous because God is such a wonderful Father, and no one was getting it. They were carnal and in the flesh and totally unaware that God is what is desirable, not the forbidden fruit and the other distractions. I felt so intimate with God because of it. The Psalms are amazingly intimate. The narrator of the Psalms has a voice with a touch of rasp that sounds melodiously beautiful and intimate with God. It is a blessing. Wow is a good brief description for the overall impact. Everyone should hear it, as it will bless every part of your life as you see God's ability and love to give you life abundant.

Very Good.

I'm quite pleased with the quality and eloquence with which this audio Bible is put together. The NKJV, which is probably one of the most accurate and thorough translations, comes to life in this convincing - but not overdone - dramatization. The narrator does an excellent job, as well, with clear pronunciation and a good feel for the text. He may not be quite as strong as he should be, but better that than too dramatic. Over all a very good work, and I highly recommend it.

What a great experience!

I really enjoyed experiencing the bible this way! It brought me a better picture and perspective on many of the stories that can be harder to get though. I wish it was broken up a bit better but other than that one of the best purchases I have ever made! Thank you for providing this! Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, so this works for me in more way than just one!

Table of Contents

Upon opening this audiobook I was baffled by its structure. Then I found B. Stark's comment, which laid out parts, books and chapters. That was very helpful, but I found it challenging to use. Here is a brief guide and a table of contents:

GUIDE
The number of chapters in the audiobook corresponds to the number of chapters in the Bible. For example, say you want to listen to John 3:16. Begin by locating the book of John at chapter 998. Next, move from John:1 to John:3 by skipping ahead twice to chapter 1000. Finally, you can use the buttons that jump 30 seconds forward or backward to navigate verses.

Great tool for reference! A few errors though.

The voices are GREAT!
Discovered a problem today though. Mark's account of Jesus' Triumphal Entry only has one donkey, but Matthew's account has two.
Here, both have two. Boo! Now I feel like I need to pour over the rest of the gospels to see how much of this was a copy/paste job.
*edit* The same applies to Peter denying Jesus. in Matthew, he denies Jesus three times before the rooster crows, but in Mark it's before the rooster crows twice.
Argh, I don't feel like I'm getting an accurate reading at all!
