Been listening to this version for years!! Love it!

The dramatic reading of the NLT helps bring the scriptures to life and gives a different perspective.

Very well done. l am listening for the third time.

It's great, very well or rated and enacted . Two complaints though. It's missing chapter 22. I also wish there was a cross reference to the books of the Bible so you could easily find a particular book.

So nostalgic to listen to

I remember listening to this on mp3 before. I liked it then and I like it now. There are a few moments in the audio where it sounds like it’s skipping but other than that this is pure nostalgia for me. Plus it’s the word of our Lord Jesus Christ

Excellent audioBible, Near Impossible to navigate!

The flow, narration, voice acting and even the background music and occasional sound effects make this an excellent work. The translation itself is excellent as it stays with the Spirit of passages, while easing up on the use of language and modernizing weights and measures making things understandable to the modern reader. Since it's currently organized by chapter, with no resetting of the chapters along with book of the bible it makes it nearly impossible to navigate. Please fix this so we can go to the book of the bible we wish to lissten to at the time! Thank you!

Easy to understand and well read

The only negative is that some of the background noise is SO loud that it’s distracting and occasionally you can’t even hear what’s being said.

Waste of money

Why are the books of the Bible not in the list of chapters? I wished I had known this before wasting my money with Audible!

NO TITLES ON THE CHAPTERS

This performance might be great but I’ll never know because the chapters in the audio book are not labeled. Such an easy step and a HUGE miss by the publisher. I bought this wanting to go straight to Romans 1 and have no way to get there except to guess amongst over 1,000 chapters simply labeled “Chapter 1” and beyond. PLEASE FIX THIS TYNDALE! You’re better than this!
