Vicki

The narrator’s voice was smooth and easy. It made listening enjoyable. This was the first time I can truly say I’ve read the entire Bible. I’ve attempted many times, but with audible, I was able to accomplish my goal. Now I can do it again and again.

Finally had chapter titles!

The reading is done well, but it really has been tough finding where anything was. When there were parts it was a little easier, but when it became one unit finding anything was near impossible.

With this new update every Bible book and chapter is labeled, so you can find everything without going to a book description or written list to equivocate location.

The reading is done well, and the words are easy to understand (even sped up).

Best option on audible

I prefer the NLT for everyday reading but this was a good second choice for listening (no full NLT Bible available on audible at time of this review). Narrator has a nice voice and is broken up into chapters.

it's ok... I wish I hadn't bought it

Finding a specific chapter or knowing where you're at is confusing. The narration is awesome.

Enlightening, but very hard to search via chapters

Clear voice, easy to understand, no music

I was so pleased to find this, I have the exact same version on CD’s that I purchased 20+ years ago. I still love to pop those in my car, but wanted something I could listen to anytime. I now read the ESV, but didn’t find a version of that on Audible that I liked. There are lots of great audio Bibles out there, but I bought this one because it is voice only, with no music, and the narrator has no accent so it’s easy to understand, even when sped up. The version with the British narrator and music is also beautiful, but it’s hard to understand unless you are really concentrating. My only complaint is the chapter divisions, I wish it was sorted by books of the Bible to easily navigate. There is a reviewer who posted the chapter breakdown, so I will screenshot that and use if needed.

I live this audio Bible. Mr. Sarris has a voice that I enjoy listening too. Mine downloaded in 72 unlabeled sections in order. . If I pick a section, it tells me what Books and chapters are in it and the desired chapter can be chosen. It isn’t hard to find what I’m looking for.

The voice the narrator

Everything except the chapters are incorrect they flow into each other and harder to follow at first but great listen

only wish for chapters

What did you love best about NIV Audio Bible, Pure Voice?

No distracting music. Good, clear, even reading. Great pace.

I only wish that it had a better way to reference chapters.
