The MP3 format compacts the Bible onto only six discs. Each chapter has its own track making it very easy to access verses quickly especially on a computer with Windows Media Player or the like. The fast pace of the narration can be hard to follow for those learning Spanish. However, I can think of no better way to immerse into the Spanish language. This CD is a joy to listen to.

I did not give this Bible 5 stars for the mere fact that it is not dramatized. It is great to be able to have the Bible read to you but in my opinion it starts to get boring after a while.
I own the English version NIV Dramatized and I love it. The music is very subtle, not intrusive at all. The text is read in different voices with infliction and everything. In my opinion it makes it easier to remember.
Unfortunately, I don't think that there is a dramatized version in Spanish yet.
Still, I do recommend this audio Bible. I downloaded it into my iPod and I listen to it whe I am on the road. You have to make sure you have around 3G free in your iPod to fit it all in.

The lady who reads the introductions to the books does a wonderful job. The readers of the text itself read in an almost sing-song kind of way. There is no inflection in the voice that reflects the content of the text. Thus, it's difficult to listen to for any period of time. It's too bad someone put all that time into a product that is sub-standard for a publisher like Zondervan.

While learning Spanish one of the most difficult hurdles has been understanding the spoken voice of native speakers. With so many different accents and slang it's been hard to listen to a conversation and keep up. Some conversational Spanish CDs have only a few short tracks of conversation which helps a lot, but I needed more. Watching Univision and listening to Spanish radio was too hard.

This is just what I need right now in my journey to master the Spanish language. Hours and hours of conversational Spanish, and if I have a hard time understanding something I have a Spanish Bible as a reference.

This is a great way to follow through in the Bible. The words are very clear and Rafael Cruz does an excellent job of keeping your attention. This is also a great way to hear the proper pronunciation of the words in the Spanish language.

If you want to hear a sample of the guys voice who reads this - go to biblegateway and listen to the NVI audio. It's the same guy and recording. One thing I was faced with when searching for a Spanish audio Bible was that I wanted authentic Spanish to hear, not how I would say the words when I read it out loud to myself. I am happy with this!

Well, this bible is more like an interpretation rather than a translation. In some cases the meaning in the text has changed. Example the NVI states "desearas a tu marido y el te dominará (YOU WILL CRAVE FOR YOUR HUSBAND AND HE WILL DOMINATE YOU)". THE WORDING USED IN HEBREW AS USED IN THIS TEXT, AND IN OTHER BIBLE TEXTS, IMPLIES THAT: EVE WILL TRY TO IMPOSE HER DESIRES ON HER HUSBAND, NEVERTHELESS ADAM WILL GOVERN EVE'.

ANOTHER STATEMENT FOUND IN THIS BIBLE: "AND THE CHILDREN OF GOD MARRIED THE DAUGHTERS OF HUMANS" IN CONTRARY TO WHAT THE HEBREW STATES: "THE CHILDREN OF GOD MARRIED THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN" WHICH IMPLIES THAT MEN ARE CHILDREN OF GOD (ADAM CAME FROM GOD) AND WOMEN ARE DAUHTERS OF MEN (EVE WAS TAKEN FROM ADAM WHILE ADAM CAME FROM GOD).
