“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being just like the Scripture says!” (John 7:37-38)

“Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.” (Psalm 5:3)

“I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase more and more until it overflows, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. And with this revelation you will come to know God fully as he imparts to you the deepest understanding of his ways.” (Philippians 1:9)

Great translation, poor labeling

I love this translation and Brian Simmons is a great narrator.

The problem is labeling the books of the Bible as though it was a novel rather than a series of inter-connected books. When you see 470 chapters instead of the 27 individual books it is not only daunting, but it prevents reading a specific book out of order, like Ephesians. (Do I really need to do all that math to find what I want to read?)

Putting the book name along with the current chapter number would be very helpful.

Passion Translation Bible ENHANCED!

I love the way this audio book sounds when I am driving, reading, or working on school work! Thank you taking such tender care of this version. May God bless all your future work! Keep going, Brother Brian!!!

A fresh new, passionate look at The Bible

This refreshing translation immerses us in God's fiery and passionate love for us. Jesus comes alive and the rich vocabulary deepens our understanding of God's Word.....well worth the listen!!!

I love this translation...

I thoroughly enjoy this translation, especially the gospels...it's as if I'm actually there. Such a blessing!

Great way to renew love for scripture

loved it
I might have enjoyed it more if the narrator had a deeper voice

perfect!! just needs chapter titles added

Brian, I just loved your reading and adored song of Solomon. The narration excellent. Wish you could add chapter titles.

Wonderful

Despite the constant hate received by Dr. Simmons from the more conservative church, I LOVE this translation. It allows you to experience the New Testament in ways that are often overlooked and neglected by the mainstream church. I consider the Passion Translation a welcome addition to the ever growing collaboration that is the Bible... not that any version is “less than” or “faulty”, but rather that they are all a partial glimpse into the majesty and glory that is God’s written words to us.
Dr. Simmons does an amazing job explaining his translation in the footnotes of the written works, and his desire to share the Heart of the Father shines through.

The Best Audiobook Ever

The passion translation is an amazing translation of the bible. the delivery was also amazing. I encourage anyone to get this book.

Absolutely love it!

This audio New Testament (Bible) is the best I've ever come across. Brian Simmons voice is easy to listen to. The translation is made from words I actually use everyday and I believed to be accurate. Mostly I listen as I drive down the road and sometimes at night while I'm asleep. I have woken up many mornings with the scripture still going I'm surprised to hear exactly what I needed for the day or wisdom on something I'm dealing with. The translation itself is one of the main three I study from - NKJV, PT and the newest version of the Amplified Bible. Sometimes I also use the NASB and Message translation. The commentary on the written Passion Translation is excellent. There are times as I drive listening that I have that aha moment that the Holy Spirit points something out, this seems to happen more with the Passion Translation than any other audio Bible that I have. There are definitely translations that I choose not to use or trust but for my needs this audio book is amazing. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches me all things but it does help to hear the word in what I speak and understand. Good job Brian Simmons you did a great job thanks! Blessings K

Speaks to my heart!!

I have listened to this Bible over and over. It has been so amazingly inspiring and educational!!
