Great production, but hard to identify tracks

It is great to hear the Bible read by several voices (although I can't help but think about Pulp Fiction every time Samuel Jackson speaks). By having several voices read it, I don't attach a particular voice to God, I just hear the words. The overall production is good, though a bit heavy on the synthesized muzak.

The main problem is the extremely long title (for example "Inspired By...The Bible Experience: Old Testament (Unabridged) Part 12"): The NT is broken down into 3 parts and the OT into 19 with "part n" at the very end and it is not possible to shorten or otherwise change titles in Audible Player. That makes it difficult to find the part you want on your mp3 player- first you need to know which part has which books of the Bible and then you need to count or wait for the entire title to scroll across the little screen before you know which part it is.

Truly enjoy this version!!

What made the experience of listening to Inspired By...The Bible Experience the most enjoyable?

Narrators and special effects truly puts me there. The music brings it alive!! However, I wish it was possible to locate chapter and verse from a content list.

The title of the AudioBook is missing.

Great listening. I cannot tell which Book of the Bible is being read. No guidelines.

Not acceptable to change words in the Bible

I read the Bible along audible. I was VERY UPSET that one narrator chose to change the single in pural in the book of Psams. She changed "me" to "them" "I to us" to name few. this is WRONG! She has no authority to change the WORD OF GOD!

Great way to enjoy to Bible

The voice acting gets me engage. However, there are rare moments where the sound effects and background noise are distracting.
