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.

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.

This is all that my family and I had hoped it to be.
excellent cd's and an unexpected nice leather case to keep them in.
Thank You for such a great product at such a LOW price!!!!

The first set I ordered had 6 bad CDs in it. I returned it to amazon and they refunded my money minus shipping cost.

I just really wanted my CDs replaced for a complete set, so I ordered another set from amazon come. In the meantime someone sold my remaining set I had in my Truck, with the CD exposed. So whoever stole it knew it was CDs. I hope they benefit from it.

I purchased these CDs for my mother-in-law who is unable to see very well and has trouble getting to church like she use to. She is 87 and loves the Lord. She listens to these CDs everyday and sometimes all day. We live in different states so I haven't hear them personally. I am just glad that she is able to hear Gods word now that she can't read the word.

Well satisfied with The Holy Bible CD Set. Very fast delivery time. Thanks.
