His word will always bear fruit

This is a great read. I have never read the whole bible because of the difficulty of reading. This read brought the words to life and meaning to my soul. I enjoyed the different actors that have the word deeped. I listen to both books twice a year but this is the first year I have read along with my bible. I would recommend this version to anyone.

Beyond worlds can say with Awesomeness

Theirs is the best audio of all books and of how any Bible will ever be recorded. It bangs life to the Word with better understanding. Making me feel as if I was there mentally. And watching it with my own vision through its music and sounds effects.

Visualize

This was very well done. I'm a auditory/visual learner. The actors helped me visualize what I was hearing which allowed me to better understand what was happening, which gave new meaning to some things I thought I knew in the Bible.

Now I'd like to see them do this onscreen, even though a lot of the actors are no longer with us.

Great project!

Magnificent audio!

My husband & I listened on our morning walk with 1 earbud each. The difference voices portraying the stories of the Bible made it very exciting to listen. The voices and emotions makes your mind wonder & takes you to that time. Really nice to hear the scriptures I’ve read some many times.
