Book Description

Series: Inspired By | Publication Date: October 21, 2007

The most ambitious, critically-acclaimed presentation of the Bible ever produced, Inspired By ... The Bible Experience Old Testament features a star-studded cast of almost 200 performers. Highlighting the cast is 2007 Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker as the voice of Moses, along with Angela Bassett (Esther), Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jonah), Denzel and Pauletta Washington (Song of Songs), LL Cool J (Samson), Eartha Kitt (Serpent), Bishop T.D. Jakes (Abraham), and Bishop Eddie L. Long (Joel) among others. The Bible Experience uses Zondervan's most accessible and up-to-date translation, Today's New International Version (TNIV), and includes dramatic performances set to an original musical underscore by the Prague Symphony Orchestra and Hollywood-style sound design created at Technicolor Studios. The Bible Experience has become not just the bestselling audio Bible, but also one of the all-time fastest-selling new Bibles. In addition to record-breaking sales, Inspired By ... The Bible Experience has received unprecedented consumer satisfaction and national recognition including numerous five-star reviews on Amazon.com, an Audies Audiobook of the Year (the highest honor of the Audio Publisher's Association), an AudioFile Earphones Award, and a nomination for an NAACP Image Award. The Old Testament features 60 digitally mastered audio CDs and a convenient carrying case.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'...a full show of music, sound effects, and a dazzling array of celebrity voices. The producers...put together a cast of...actors who deliver a rich, diverse rendering of the contemporary Today's New International Version (TNIV) translation in gospel-meeting style. Listeners are treated to a sort of aural kaleidoscope with layers of voices, sound, and music....The lavish production pulls out all the stops....If a modern multimedia production experience is what you're after, enjoy the fine voices and often dynamic dramatized readings.' -- AudioFile

Review

Inspired By...The Bible Experience is exactly what its title indicates, an experience. I've listened to many audio Bibles over the years, but none have achieved what The Bible Experience has, which is to bring the Bible to life in a very real, compelling, accessible and experiential way. I would strongly recommend that you listen to it and share it with others. I guarantee it will change the way you and they engage with the word of God.' -- John C. Maxwell, Author, New York Times bestselling author

I think that this product is a blessing to those that are really trying to take in as much word as possible-- With the limited time we have today, it is about time that someone put the Bible into an ingestible format that is not BORING and TORTURESOME. The voices and sound effects really bring the word to life in a new and vibrant way! I recieved my box yesterday and immediately popped in the first CD! It was like a drink of water on a steaming hot day! I highly reccommend this product to those that cant sit down and read as much as they would like-- or for those who actually retain scripture better by hearing it... "faith comes by hearing....". Be blessed! The sound quality is exceptional.. and the actors are superb!

I love both box sets because, when I read the Bible or just listen to a plain cd I get sleepy or bored, but when I listen to The Bible experience, it's awesome, because actors betray the parts in the Bible and briong it to life!!!! I would suggest these to everyone who thirsts to hear the Bible, but has trouble reading it.

This review is from: Inspired By ... The Bible Experience: Old Testament (Audio CD)

To me the OT was always hard to read.. but hearing the words spoken with expression and voice changes has opened up my mind...
I wish I could get this for everyone I know!
