What a marvelous narrator! I wish I would have read the other reviews prior to purchase as I too was under the impression that this was the entire Bible, not just the NEW TESTAMENT. I would highly consider letting buyers know that even though it says Deluxe, it is referring to the lovely box it comes in. This is very deceptive. Now I have to spend another $41 to get the entire Bible. Please correct this if you value your feedback.

Great for companionship while driving or otherwise, Gives you the word and read by a master. My only issue was I wasn't aware it did not include the Old Testament and there was no indication of this prior to purchase.

Mr. Jones has just the right touch, and tone for this beautiful project. I have but one problem with this production. Where is the Old Testament? Otherwise I would have given this production 5 stars.

This is an excellent reading of the King James Version New Testament. Jones reads clearly with excellent pronunciation and makes it easier to listen to and understand. His voice is wonderful to listen to. There is no music played in the background, which is good.

The hymns by the Nashville Faith Choir are enjoyable. They sing several of them with a traditional shape-note tone quality. For some this is an acquired taste. But I love shape-note singing.

Very pleased with it. I didn't at first realize it was just the New Testament. Only a few errors as i discovered by following along in my Bible with it but nothing doctrinely terrible :-p. Highly recommend for all christians to own a copy of an audio Bible. It puts things in a new light for those who are learning it and applying to their life.

I didn't remember his voice was Darth Vader. Once you get past this it's fine. You have to pay attention as his accent is a little hard to understand as he reads. Again, once you get past this it is fine.

I've listened to the first CD (Matthew 1-13)and find it most helpful with my bible study. Since I've not listened to all CD's yet I can only comment on the first one. The sound is acceptable. It's not scratched; occasionally the volume rises and then falls, but it doesn't disturb my ability to understand James Earl Jones. The case in which the CD's are packaged came to me partially broken. I won't know until a future date if any of the CD's are scratched due to the damaged package.

I have to be honest - James Earl Jones has read more Bible to me than I ever read on my own. And you can listen to the Bible while you're multi-tasking. James Earl Jones has a fantastic voice and there are no extraneous choirs or music in the background. The only negative I can add has already been pointed out by other reviewers. This collection covers the New Testament only. I was kind of hoping to get the Old Testament too but, based on what's out there now, I can wait until James Earls Jones reads the Old Testament
