Product Description

The New Testament of the New King James Version is read in its entirety by music legend Johnny Cash.  After 20 years of encouragement from his mother to record the Bible, he approached the recording of the New Testament with fear, respect, awe, and reverence for the subject matter.  Cash said further, I also did it with a great deal of joy, because I love the Word. Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament, is 19 hours of hearing the Word of God from one of the most distinctive voices of our time.  The legend of country music shows his spiritual greatness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight!, March 18, 2004
By A Customer
I have been reading and studying different versions of the Bible for years. It is my favorite book to read. As a fan of audio books, it is quite natural that I should want to listen to the Bible. However, it proved to be difficult to find a set that is pleasant and satisfying to listen to. Most are read too quickly, are too monotonous or overly dramatic. Johnny reads slowly, so that the listener has time to enjoy the words, and his love for God's Word shines through. There is no musical embellishment, Johnny simply reads the text and allows it to speak for itself. Anyone should enjoy this, but I can't help thinking what an especially good gift it would be for the elderly and those who are unable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best., December 16, 2005
By Scott Salvato (New York, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The guy proclaims the Word of God beautifully and simply. If you're not much of a believer, it just is done well and straight forward.

The New King James Version is more modern English (without all the "unto's" and "ye's" and "thou's"). Easier on the ears. Also, no accompanying music. Just him reading slowly and with understanding.

The above comments are in comparison to James Earl Jones reading the New Testament. The guy has a voice like no one else, but the original King James version language- lame backround music - and a whispery, momontone reading (if you can imagine James Earl Jones doing that) - makes this far inferior to Johnny Cash's.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, wonderful !, September 17, 2006
By Luscher (Goyim City, Wisconsin, United States) - See all my reviews
this set was everything i could have hoped for. it was amusing that someone reviewing this product would describe Johnny Cash's reading voice as "wooden" ... have they never heard him speak or sing ? if you have heard his voice you know what to expect. personally i find his voice rich, comfortingly real, and ideally suited to a project such as this

there is no annoying music in the background, which is ideal for people who suffer from diminished hearing, like me, or people who find such unwelcome additions to be nothing more than a distraction

his reading is often described as slow, but i think it might be better described as casual - about the speed he spoke in public or on TV : he typically seemed unhurried when he spoke, but having a "script" allowed him to talk faster than i'd anticipated. his cadence is not too fast, just faster than i had been led to believe

the books are broken up into chapter-length files (important if you wish to rip to MP3 files as i've done) and sometimes span from one CD to another (important if you're considering getting this for an elderly person who might need to search for the next CD, as well as possibly complicating the operation of a CD player for a person with visual limitations)

this is a wonderful product and i would gladly purchase it again. the only "improvement" i can suggest is offering an MP3 version for people who may lack the technical ability to convert the CDs themselves (they are Legion)
