Publisher's summary

Verses you have read many times will impact you in a new way when you hear them read aloud

Read in a single voice with subtle background music, the NIV Listener’s Audio Bible features Max McLean’s skillful, engaging, but never over-dramatized style reading the entire text of the Bible. This audio Bible will bring God’s Word to life during your personal and family devotion times, group Bible study, or during your weekday commute. Listen to just 13 minutes a day and you’ll get through the entire Bible in a year!

Before you could tuck it under your arm, before you could bring it up on your phone–you did not read Scripture, you listened to it. For centuries, the only way to access God’s Word was to hear it read aloud in public gatherings. Today, we 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.

New: Now includes an interactive table of contents with books and chapters of the Bible for easy audio navigation!*

Features:

• Complete text of the accurate and clear New International Version (NIV).
• Narration by Max McLean, Founder and Artistic Director for the Fellowship of Performing Arts in New York City.

"These are the most engaging recordings of the Bible I have ever heard.”

- Hank Hanegraaff, The Bible Answer Man & President, Christian Research Institute

"He sounds as you might expect the writers of the text to sound if they were speaking instead of writing... McLean reads the Bible like it is the Word of God."

- Donald Whitney, Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

very well done!!

loved the narrator!!! this version made me feel like I was listening to them in person.

Saved through this audio book

I became a Christian largely as a result of this audio book. I thought I didn't have time to read the Bible due to being in the season of young children, but started listening to it during work commutes. It has completely changed my life and I recently joined a church and got baptized. Max McLean, I can't thank you enough for doing this. Also, the performance was fantastic and background music was not distracting.

Wonderful!

I have often quoted the Holy Bible but this time I started with Genesis and continued through till the end of Revelations. I am thrilled and enlightened. A moving experience.

The greatest gift I’ve ever read!!

This is the Bible that opened my eyes to what I would do with my life; to honor our God. Love others and pray for all. I recommend this book to anyone who feels alone, hurting, struggling and has questions about their lives.

Amen

First time ive read the bible in my 53 years on this awesome planet. Wont be the last. Thank you!

Finding the Right Book!

It does not have books of the bible where you can go directly. I have no idea what is in the download; other than the first which must be Genesis and the last which is Revelation. If I want to go to Colossians; which download should I go to? This can be improved with possibility to locate the book and chapter if possible.

Wonderful narration, brought the Bible to Life!

I loved this reading of the Bible! Enough emotion to captivate and keep me listening, but never over-dramatic.

Read everyday

Love to check into my day first thing in the morning with reading from scripture and this help me to stay on track and enjoy the scriptures. Nice easy flow keeps you engaged to the words and you can easily follow along in the translation of your choice.

Great listen!

I love the Bible and this voice actors rendition is great. My only complaint is, that while this is a 74 hour Audible, there is almost no pause between chapters. It goes from one chapter to the next with about a half second break in between. Other than this, I love this Audible. Max McLean does a great job in reading the Bible adding emphasis where it is needed. He brings the words to life.
