“Break Through the Language Barrier, Expand Your Understanding” The Amplified Bible is a Literal Equivalent translation that, by using synonyms and definitions, both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text. This unique system of translation allows the reader to more completely and clearly grasp the meaning as it was understood in the original Hebrew and Greek languages.For example, the Greek word pisteuo, which the vast majority of versions render as “believe.” That simple translation, however, hardly does justice to the many meanings contained in the Greek pisteuo: “to adhere to, cleave to; to trust to have faith in; to rely on, to depend on.”

Fr. Robert Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Fr. Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.

For centuries, the only way to access God’s word was to hear it read aloud in public gatherings. Today, many are blessed to own personal printed copies of the Bible, but there is a surprising benefit to hearing the Scriptures read aloud as it was for so many generations. Verses you have read many times will impact you in a new way when you hear them through the Listener’s Audio Bible (NIV). Read in a single voice with subtle background music, Max McLean’s skillful, engaging, but never over-dramatized style will bring the complete Bible to life.

How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number one question Catholics get asked - and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to people. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it's the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief - and brings us joy.

Better than ... no NASB at all?
Would you try another book from Foundation Publications and/or Dick Hill?
With all due respect, I have other audiobooks by Dick Hill in which I am very fond of his narration -- just not here. The beauty of NASB's crisp, clean translation, considered by many scholars as the most literate and accurate of all modern translations, becomes lost in this narrative's combination of chronic and irritating name/place mispronunciation, together with its plodding and lumbering style, leading to so much distraction.
Lockman Foundation: Twenty-three years ago the NASB became my Bible of choice, and continues each day to help me understand and experience God's precious Word as none other. What I cannot understand is why I, and many others, still await an audiobook version with narration that reflects its supreme literary style and accuracy, formatted into a logical book and chapter arrangement.

I enjoy this version of the Bible. I do not believe it sounds like a computer generated voice and enjoy the voice it has great listening quality. The only thing I wish is that there was an easy way to find a book, chapter and verse. Maybe another time!

Good to Have Bible on Audio
Having read the Bible launching it on audio is a great way to get to know its content in a different pleasant perspective largely thanks to the excellent narrator Mr. Dick Hill.
The advantage of the original paper Bible is its easy quick reference consulting, and it has the feel; of having in our hands a book. A Bible! Nothing will ever replace that!
The advantage of audio Bible is it is easy to listen any time you want and easy portability, just a simple MP3 player or mobile phone will do it!
For those who hate to read no more excuses for not knowing the bible.

Its the bible
What can I say, its the bible and the narration was good. I did some research before hand and the NASB seems well accepted as one of the better and more accurate English translations currently available.
This fits my purposes, which is to try and finally get through the whole thing. Since I'm just trying to have a proper run through hitting certain sections is not an issue. If you are thinking of using this as a general resource don't, its just kind of silly idea in the first place, that's what book style bibles are for.
However, if you are one of the many who have never managed to find the time to give the full thing a proper read/listen, and you'd like that commute time to mean something for once, then this is a good option.

I love my bible...
The NASB is a great bible translation. The narration is of good quality. Unfortunately audible divided the audio presentation is such a way it is nearly impossible to find a particular book or chapter in the presentation.
Unless you intend to use this as a listen from beginning to end don't get it. If you would like to be able to find books and chapters select a different presentation on audible.

Can't navigate at all....very inconvenient
Any additional comments?
This is a review of the navigation for this audio Bible, not the Bible itself which gets a enthusiastic 5 stars.
There is no was to navigate this Bible. The Bible is a very large book made up of 66 smaller books each with many chapters. It can be read from cover to cover, but many people prefer to study particular books. With this audio book there is basically 14 different parts to the Bible, each being 5-7ish hours long with no way of telling which one you are going to listen to until you start. I'm going to try to return this Bible and look for an audio bible where I can choose where in the Bible I want to start listening.

Wish I could search
Everyone should read through the Bible at least once so I chose this audio version to listen to on the way to work. The narrator does an excellent job.
I would like to be able to search for a specific book or chapter to listen to and can't find any way to do it. The Bible is uploaded as 14 sections, with no TOC.

Excellent narration; not an easy translation
Whatever its other merits - and I'm not a Biblical scholar, so I can't judge from that standpoint - the NASB is not the easiest translation to follow on audio. The vocabulary isn't archaic, but the syntax is sometimes a little gnarled, and some names (like "Lo-Ruhamah" in Hosea) are translated only in the notes, which of course don't make it into the audiobook. Having a hardcopy at hand to follow along helps, but only partly.
Dick Hill, on the other hand, is an excellent narrator. His voice is a very pleasing baritone, and he reads rhythmically and expressively. One point worthy of note here is that the producers decided to include the subheadings in the reading. These short tags, inserted by most Bible publishers to break up and clarify the text, actually do aid in comprehension when listening, and I wish more audiobook publishers made a practice of doing this in their editions of the Bible. Hill is particularly effective at keeping these separate from the text itself.
The sound quality is excellent in the new enhanced format. Not all parts of the title are available yet in enhanced format, but most of the Old Testament (at least up through Ezekiel) is available in enhanced format as of this writing.

No book, chapter or verse direct access.
I enjoy the audible bible, but it is frustrating that I have to guess which of the 14 Parts contains the book, chapter or verse I may want to listen to. An important upgrade of this audible would be to add the ability to go directly to book, chapter and verse. The bible is not a book that is read as a novel, from beginning to end, by almost anybody. It is a book that is studied by sections or individual books, by chapter and/or verse. That is really what I was looking for when I bought it. I enjoy listening, the reading is done well, but this lack of ability to navigate the bible would have me returning it for a refund if that were possible, and trying another approach.
