5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Production, Poor Copies, October 14, 2008

This review is from: The Holy Bible, King James Version (Audio CD)

I am enthralled with Alexander Scourby's reading of the King James Version of the Bible. While listening to him read, I have heard things that I missed while reading for myself. This set of CDs is a valuable tool for the believer who wants to "hide" the Word in the heart. The only problem I have with this product is that of the quality of the CDs themselves. I had to return the first set because it contained 3 bad CDs. My replacement has 5 bad CDs. Because I value the product, I decided to keep this set on the premise that the third set might be just as bad or worse. Even one bad CD is unfortunate. Five is extremely disappointing. But the Word is good nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, December 26, 2007

This review is from: The Holy Bible, King James Version (Audio CD)

In my study of the Bible, I have found the King James Version to be particularly poetic and powerful, if not always the most accurate word for word translation. I study in particular the Proverbs, the Psalms, the Gospels, and some of the Epistles, for the time being. It is very helpful to me to actually hear the words being spoken because I think the message gets across better than if I merely read it silently from a written copy. I would recommend this set of CDs to anyone who wants to have the Bible, the Word of God, which is a living thing, enter into their heart. The Word of God is "sharper than any two edged sword" and is able to transform your life. I do recommend this version of the King James Bible, but there were some minor problems---- not every chapter of the Bible was able to be put on my computer, just a few had problems. But all in all, I am very satisfied with this spoken version.

Alexander Scourby puts just the right amount of emphasis for drama and life into his narration to make the bible picturesque in your mind. It's wonderful to follow along in your bible while the CDs play and you hear the word of God. Reading silently along while listening is a somewhat slower way to read the bible, but it's more effective and interesting.

All the CDs that I've listened to (have listened to some repeatedly, others not yet), play well. Several CDs have their internal labels messed up though. The CD that contains the book of Ezra, for example, is labeled correctly on he outside of the CD, but may have the chapters for the book of Matthew listed when you put it in your CD player. Alexander Scourby still reads Ezra, but when you resume your reading, it's difficult to know where to start the CD again. Seems to me there must be poor quality control when making this CD Bible. Yet I wouldn't sell, trade, or loan my copy out to anyone.
