5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Reading of the Bible, May 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Bible on CD: New Living Translation (Audio CD)

The New Living Translation is "half way" between The Message and the New International Version. It is a very good translation if you are looking for something "thought-for-thought" not "word-for word" (in other words, it is more like The Message than the New American Standard Bible). The voice on this reading is very pleasant and gentle--a very mature voice. The quality of the sound is good but a little soft. The only thing I don't like is that the pronunciations of the people's names and places are not "correct"--they are very "Americanised" and nowhere near the probable originals. This is not a great factor since no one really knows the exact, correct pronunciations anyway. The 61-CD set covers the OT (46 discs) and NT (15 discs) and are packaged in a fairly nice CD carrier. (If you follow the reading with your NLT paper Bible you may notice that some words are different but there are no significant differences.)

There is more reading than dramatisation, which is a good thing since the reader's voice is pleasant but the "actors' voices" are not as nice. The background music is fairly simple and fades in and out every few minutes and is fairly well done although the tunes are about 20 years' old now. What can be irritating is that they sometimes use the same tune over and over during the same book--the book of Romans is particularly irritating in this regard.

Overall it is an excellent buy and worth every cent. The good things far outweigh the bad things about it.

This is the Old & New Testament version, 61 CD's in all. The dramatic multi-voice recording helps make the stories of the Bible even more exciting. I would recommend this to anyone who spends a lot of time in a car (especially to and from work) or just doesn't find the time to sit down and read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! to hear the Word of God, January 11, 2005

This review is from: Complete Bible on CD: New Living Translation (Audio CD)

This is my first Bible on CD purchase. In about one month's time I have listened to all but four of the forty-six Old Testament CD's. I am so excited about owning this CD set. It is just wonderful. I really like the multi-voice recordings, and they are not overly dramatized. There are fifteen CD's in the New Testament portion, I am so looking forward to listening to them. I listen most weekdays during my commute (35-45min) to work and while at my desk at work. A Must Buy!
