4.0 out of 5 stars Make good use of your time, January 5, 2001

By	Steve Egge (Puyallup, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I really have enjoyed the Audio Bible. It enables me to listen to The Word while driving in my car. I'm exploring areas of the bible that I haven't been able to get at with all the time commitments in my life, especially in the Old Testament. I enjoy this version (NIV) and the reader, Stephen Johnson has a voice that allows for good listening. The background music is nice and not overbearing. My only criticism is where the editors fixed what I assume are reading mistakes with voice-overs that don't quite match the volume and cadence and interrupts the music in the background. This calls attention to the change and draws attention from The Word. It would have been better if they opted for a re-read of the entire chapter (track) rather than fix things as they chose. Even with this minor glitch in the production, I am very pleased with my purchase. I welcome the availability of the CD version. The CD's come in a binder-like folder with the typical see through plastic holders for the CD's . This makes it easy to browse through the CD's as the Book/Chapter name that comprise the tracks are printed on the CD. For example, was easy for my son to find and borrow the CD that contained the book of Job to listen before a bible study class. I am sure this purchase will enhance your understanding of the bible. There is something about both listening to the spoken word and having it heard in the context of the verses before and after that enhance your knowledge of the scriptures. Enjoy and grow in faith ... Steve

I spend 2 hours driving to and from work each day. Listening to this dramatized Bible puts me in a remarkably serene mood. The Word comes alive and it's like listening to live theater. I'm so glad I have this Bible. Thank you Stephen Johnston.

This dramatized and well-narrated New Internation Version of the Bible is the most "user-friendly" way to absorb God's Word I've ever encountered. I highly recommend this (and the cassette version) to all of my students! --Bonnie Fraser, Teacher/Founder-Bible Alive!
