The New King James Version of the Bible is my favorite version, and Stephen Johnston is the best narrator I have ever listened to. The NKJV is a modern English version of the Bible. Anyone should be able to understand it. I spent almost $200 on a set of 63 Bible CDs once. Those CDs pale in comparison to this DVD collection. This collection is on two DVDs! The Bible is not an easy read, and I am someone who falls asleep if a book does not hold my complete attention. This collection makes reading the Bible easier than ever. You don't just sit and listen to Stephen Johnston read the Bible. There are all kinds of characters in the Bible. Different actors provide their voices to portray those characters!

You will listen to one actor provide the voice of Moses, and another actor will provide the voice of Mary. The Bible really comes alive because of those actors. The verses are easy to comprehend because you can read from the on-screen Bible while the narrator quotes each verse. The on-screen Bible is a lot easier for me to read than a regular Bible. There are also photos of Biblical locations. Many of the photos were taken from Israel. I can't imagine how much time and effort went into creating this DVD collection. There are over 70 hours of audio that include sound effects and dramatic music to highlight each reading from a chapter. I have never found one mistake made by the narrator or any of the people involved in this DVD collection.

What is the Bible really about? Why do so many people read it? The Bible is about the God who formed the nation of Israel. It's about the creation of man, and the destruction of all life on earth that takes place at the end of time. The Jews became slaves in ancient Egypt. God told them to leave Egypt and settle in the land of Israel. Then, God presented Himself to the Jews as a Man known as Jesus Christ, or the Son of God. That is in the New Testament of the Bible. Many of the Jews did not accept Jesus Christ, and He was crucified by the Romans. Crucifixion wasn't something Jews did to their enemies. The Romans had control of Israel during that time, and they did crucify their enemies. In my opinion, Jesus was crucified by the Romans because His teachings weakened Roman authority. The Jews had a major problem with accepting Jesus Christ as God because He represented idol worship to them.

What the Jews don't seem to remember is that God presented Himself to Moses as a burning bush in the book of Exodus. One can easily come to the conclusion that God can present Himself to humans as any form He chooses. God finally chose the body of Jesus Christ as His true form, and anyone that worshiped Jesus Christ was worshiping God. The Jews of today still refuse to worship Jesus Christ because of what they believe. God wanted to be Jesus Christ on earth in order to preach the gospel to that generation of people, and God knew it was necessary to sacrifice Jesus Christ for the good of all people. Anyone that continued to follow Jesus Christ after His death and resurrection was known as a Christian. The Bible reveals every aspect of human nature. Read the Bible if you want to understand human nature. Read the Bible to nourish your soul. Read the Bible to understand God and His plan to save mankind from an eternal death.

This is a very nice thing. It aids comprehension, for me, to be able to read the text, while also hearing it. The narrator reads along at a good clip, so you can progress thru a chapter quickly. Using this Ive been thru some books Id been putting off reading for years. Nothing probably replaces diligent study of the verses using a study bible, but for a preview, or review, this is great. It is amazing how it all works so well. I might sugguest you get this one, rather than attempt to buy the NT and OT separately, as initially I ordered only the NewTest by itself, then found the OldTest not available, so I had to order this one to get the OT.

This goes over and beyond. I have two children whom are LD (Learning Disabled) and I got this DVD mainly for them to listen to, Now i can be assured that they are truly learning the word of GOD, becuase they have trouble reading any book, now they talk bible with me, so if anyone has LD children and you want them to learn the word this is a must in any christian library, I LOVE THIS and also with eight kids I can afford this

i loved that the bible is now in dvd.not only you hear the Word of God, but you see and understand it.great tool for bible study.i have four version on dvd and this one will be in my library also.to all my brothers and sisters in Christ,make sure this be in your library.

It is great to read the bible on my computer screen while someone else is also reading the text and pronouncing all those tongue twisting words. Just good stuff. These DVDs won't disappoint you.

I had finished reading the whole bible the NIV version and wanted more so this was a real treat. The voice reading the scriptures and the scriptures on the TV screen is wonderful. The reading goes by fast it seems all because he doesn't get messed up on any words like I do by myself. This makes reading the bible OHHHHHH so much more fun and enjoyable.
Praise God they have made this DVD

God Bless

This is a good way to be sure you get through the entire bible; easier than trying to read but, I must say it is a bit underwhelming after watching the DVDs of Watch Word new testament. I only wish the old testament was available by Watch Word; because it has background scenes that break the monotony of the 'just words with white background'; nonetheless still very worthwhile to listen/watch. Very good beginning to "read" the bible....

My husband has asked for the bible on dvd for sometime. There were a lot of choices. I decided to go to amazon.com and see what they had and check on the reviews that were given. I chose this one because of the reviews. My husband spends at least an hour a day listening to it. He says it is actually what he wanted. He can read along while he is listening. He loves it.

I never checked this out until quite some time after receiving it, and I am so disappointed. I don't understand the rave reviews I read. I wanted to listen to this, and watch, as I fell asleep at night. I expected this to have more photos and action, maybe some soft background music. The voices are not great. I doubt I will ever open it again. I'd rather get my Bible and read than listen to this thing.

I would NOT recommend this item even slightly.

I feel his voice is too bland, and he speaks too fast for me to absorb what he is saying. Also, there is no highlighting of the print to show the current words being spoken, and the print is small, so I must squint. Just not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to absorb what is being said, not feel like I would have to make great effort to see and follow. His voice is not a carrying voice at all, so I even struggle with absorbing the tone of it. I have not watched much, since it stressed me to try to absorb, but in the little I did watch, I saw no graphics. The only thing I liked was the rare moments when other speakers would speak to fill roles of Bible characters.
