Execellent value, and the Best Price, Fast Shipping!
Needs Slightly more than 4GB to full load to your MP3 player.

I like the simplicity and the limited dramatization. The voice is good and easy to understand.

The NLT version is the best for audio presentation of the scriptures.
I can listen to 5,10 chapters, or even a whole book at one setting which helps me to see the bigger picture and tie things together from book to book.

I recently purchased a copy of The Holy Sanctuary Bible - New Living Translation and all I can say is I am delighted with it. The packaging is excellent, the reading is enjoyable and easy to listen to and the occasional strands of background music are pleasant and non-distracting. All in all I would say it is an excellent buy.

I like this product because the narrator's voice is more peppy and cheerful. He reads a lot faster than the narrator in Bible Alive. But, with less actors and special sound effects in this one. He narrates with emotion but it comes across as not genuine. Overall, it is a good product and I recommend it.

I'm from Korea. So I'm not an American.

So this audio bible is so helpful for me.

This audio is recorded dramatized.

Very good!!!

I really enjoy the NLT version of the Bible. This CD set has great sound effects and music. It's not just a man reading, it's actually being acted out with various people reading. I love it!

Like many of you, I found it challenging to find time to read my bible between children, work, activities, and running the house. I downloaded a few books of the Audio Bible on my iPod and I listen to it on my to and from work. It is the only time I have to sit quitely and spend time with God.

The CD's are in MP3 format, so they don't play in my car's CD player. You may have a new car that plays MP3's, but if not, you would need a MP3 player or iPod.

This product was definitely worth the money!

Pros
- Good clear audio - doesnt need volume boosted like some other audio bibles
- Unobtrusive dramatisation - often completely absent in the OT non-narrative books
- Voice easy to listen to, not trying too hard to sound 'holy' ie a couple of octaves lower than normal!
- only about 4.03GB
- Great price

Con
- the mp3 tags on several of the books are inconsistent with the others. There is a minor problem with 1 & 2 Chronicles (no book order number) and on 1 & 2 Corinthians the chapters arent listed on the tags, only on the file names (so the chapter numbers disappear on import to iTunes). This then needs tweaked manually.

All in all a very good product - I took one star off for the tags because it took a while to get things they way I wanted. Since it is marketed as an mp3 version, this should have been a priority to get right.

I bought this product so that I could have the Bible on my MP3 player. However, it does not rip to the computer because of licensing so I cannot put it on my player :o( Sound quality is good as a CD.

Love the narrator's voice. Not monotone but with sesitivity. I love the NLT version so much. NIV is OK but NLT much better!

The CDs didn't work in my car I believe I'm technology challenged and didn't realize an mp3 cd means it is not an audio CD
My bad I would have loved it If it worked in my car
I am returning it
