This priceless little book is, sadly, sure to be overlooked by some in the bookstore. I can promise you that size is not an accurate measuring tool: what lies inside this book are the words of the most wonderful Being in Creation.

Other than the introduction by Jim Caviezel, there's no regular text in this book, just passages from the Gospel. Christ's powerful words to His disciples, the Pharisees, the multitudes, and the world in general are all included, the popular as well as the debated. Christ's last hours before the Crucifiction and the Crucifiction itself are both recorded, as well as His return and promise of returning permanently at the end of Ages.

The bonus CD in the back of this book is something else by itself: all the passages found in the book are featured on the soundtrack, and they are not read so much as performed by Jim Caviezel. In fact, different voices act out the different people in the Gospel; Caviezel speaks as Jesus, while separate actors speak as Simon, Nicodemus, and various narrators.

This book and the bonus CD are amazing treasures for every heart. Take a journey back to the Son of Man and listen to His voice and His promises like no other! I highly recommend this as a life-changing tool for both Christians and non-Christians.

Other classic books focusing specifically on Christ's character and sacrifice are "The Cross" by Max Lucado and "The Passion: Photographs from the Film" by Mel Gibson (includes Scripture).

This gives a sampling of what the Word of Promise New Testament audio bible is like. It is arranged in such a way to provide you with scripture for the day-to-day and to uplift the reader. Excellent product that keeps the reader/listeners attention. Highly recommended!

You'll love the Word of Promise from Jesus. It's by far one of the best audio devotionals that I own. It's encouraging and powerful. A great tool to use for scripture memorization, devotionals, working around the home, traveling, church meetings, or bible studies. I even use it as a sleep aid by slipping on my headphones at night. It brings great dreams! Try it and fall in love with Jesus........

There is no one who can portray Jesus like Jim Caviezel. He has such a gentle way about him. I feel as though Jesus is actually speaking to me when I listen to this. PRAISE GOD for his portrayal in so many of these audio CD's!

Word of Promise from Jesus: Dramatic Passages from the Gospels is one of the most outstanding books I've read and heard ever. It's a little over an hour long and contains some of the most well-known words and teachings of Jesus when he was here on earth. The book also comes with a CD of Jim Caviezel narrating the book. He does a truly wonderful job of not only narrating but also dramatizing the readings, some of which made me cry. I listen to it especially when I'm driving. It gives me such a sense of peace and takes me "to another place." Anyone who is the least bit interested in Jesus and the gospels should add this jewel to their library.
