good and bad,

This review is from: Alexander Scourby Bible-KJV (Audio CD)
When i 1st got the set, and listened to a section as i laid down, i hoped for a peaceful easy listening to the Scriptures. The back-ground music, much like a cheezy MIDI selection (very cheezy MIDI computer music), was annoying. Very annoying. It's not professional background music. I felt immediately disappointed in my purchase, and would have preferred NO background "music" of this type.A week later i listened to another section, and i wasn't in a relaxing mode but was wanting to learn from Yahweh's Word, and i decided it wasn't too bad (meaning the annoying background MIDI music wasn't a killer) and though it was the best, it would be okay. HOWEVER, when Alexander Scourby stops narrating (reading) the Scripture and Yahweh Himself speaks ("and the LORD said '.....'"), the dramatizers decided to use what appears to be Alexander Scourby talking inside a box or behind a closed door. In short, it's MUFFLED. I had to go thru several tweakings on my cheap stereo, to get to where i could understand the passages where our Lord was actually speaking (ended up being a "Pop" music setting, and NO base, that worked). Finally, when i heard a passage with an alternate voice other than Alexander Scourby (or his muffled version of Yahweh talking), i thought "hey, that sounds kind of neat!" I decided that having that was kind of a nice treat (having a different voice for a different Biblical "character" interacting with Alexander Scourby's narration moments). I liked that. Also, the Apostolic Writings (Renewed-Covenant / New Testament) Scripture readings were nice with crowd background noices or more bearable MIDI music if present, and multiple voices were nice when Alexander Scourby wasn't narrating (meaning his voice, and other voices at times, was nice). I don't know if the other popular KJV version (i wanted NASB full Bible Dramatized, but nobody does that yet)done, has better sounding moments or not. I may buy it sometime in the future (not immediate) just to have an option, in case i can't take the passages where our God sounds like He's speaking behind a closed door or in a box, muffled and difficult to understand. So there you go.....the good and the bad.

The Word for today,

This review is from: Alexander Scourby Bible-KJV (Audio CD)
I have read the new reviews about this dramatized Bible, and I am glad that people still find it the Word for today. I also had my first encounter with the tape version, but that was when I was locked up in a prison. That was 1976; as of Jan. the 12th, I have been out for 30 years and never returned. If I could, I would make these available to other christians that are still locked away in a prison somewhere. This is the only one in English that I give away as gifts, and since they are on CDs now it makes it easier to listen to in the car, or at home. I too, listened to it as I sleep; when I had my tape set in prison, I woke myself up punching the player button trying to get more out of it! Thank- you Jesus! His Lightshine in my dark place. This is where God made HImself real to me. I can't read my Bible when I am driving my truck, but I can listen without distraction. So I say to all of you; plant some good seed in good ground!
