I am a portuguese and I do not use the English as a spoken language. I have already listened to the entire Bible and I found it very comprehensible and easy, because of the vivid style and a smart background sound that put the Bible in the correct ambient or place. The word of Yahweh God takes the first place. Contains 48 cassettes of 90 minutes each: 36 for the Old Testament and 12 for the New Testament. It is packet in an ordinary commercial package of hardpaper but the quality of the sound recorded is excellent. The way how the Bible is read is also very, very good, even to persons that have only a few years of English and do not use it everyday as a spoken language. It is very difficult to do better for such a price.

This must have been produced a long time ago...the quality of production and sound is less than acceptable. There are other dramatized versions. The one I like is the NIV Dramatized both on cassette and CD narrated by Stephen Johnston. It is produced by World Publishing. I recommend that. CDs really make the Bible accessable because you can go to chapter and verse easier. God Bless!

How can one improve on God's word? I found the diction very easy to follow, even to the OT names in the geneologies, ie, Kings, Chronicles, etc. As a student, I found reading the printed page and

I am getting a masters in theology and a lot of reading is required. Since I drive 2 hours to work and then 2 hours home, these tapes are a great help in getting required bible passages done. I particularly like the sound effects. It also affords me the luxury of playing the tapes more than once so that after listening I can quickly reference passages in the book. Great voice, clarity, pronunciation.

Everything is just the way that I expected of this audio book, the only thing that could be inproved upon is, that it should be available in compact disc form and that it would be more enjoyable if it were in a Dramatized Version. After all, since this is one of the most requested versions of The Bible in the NIV form, Amazon.com should carry it in a Dramatized Compact Disc form.

How can one improve on God's word? I found the diction very easy to follow, even to the OT names in the geneologies, ie, Kings, Chronicles, etc. As a student, by reading the printed page and listening to the tape together, I found I retained much more of what the writer was trying to tell. (especially in the OT Narritives) However, if the format was CD, and each book was separated, one could move to a given passage easier than attempting to find the passage on tape. Would recomend this to anyone, student, lay person, or even a newcomer to The Word.

I do a lot of driving (4 hours/day) and these tapes help me stay in the Word. It doesn't replace reading the Bible, but when you spend so much time in a car every day it is the next best thing to reading the Word. I like the dramatization in the Gospels and the background music. Also the narrator is very easy on the ears. I would highly recommend this audio Bible for anyone who can't seem to get enough time to read the Good Book.

I am fairly satisfied with my purchase but when checking it over I find that there is one tape missing. It is cassette tape number 7 of the New Testement. I don't know if you can do anything about the missing tape or not but I wanted you to know that the set is not complet with one tape missing.I would like to hear of your concern in this matter. I have only made a few purchase from Amazon and been please with the result so far. Thank you for listening to me.

I purchased this set of tapes because I desperately need to find God. I've been assured the search begins with his WORD. This production is an impediment to that search. The words are read without interpretation, sometimes so fast that it is obvious a task is being hurried through. The same characterless music is repeated ad nauseum. Compare this with Max McLean's performances and you will never want to listen to a "solely for profit" production like this one again.

I ordered these cassettes, and when they came part of the New testement was missing, when I contaced the seller she thought I was referring to "compact discs", and not cassettes, and said she indicated that it was missing cassetes in the product description, had that been true I would have never ordered it.(common sense).

Extremely dissappointed but thankful that I was refunded for the product, and gave it to a neighbor who is unable to work, so someone got blessed other than me.
