 Indescribable... An awesome experience! March 4, 2010
Movie Fan (Texas)
Wow, where do I start? This is an awesome product! Let me say that I have purchased one for both of my mother's, one for my self and a half of one before the entire audio bible came out. I now own the whole audio bible. My children even love this. Both of my mothers meaning my mother and mother in law love this product. We go to sleep to this at night, we listen to this in the car in the mornings when we start our day. I even listen to this at work. This is so awesome. I even sometimes use my print bible to go back to study what I have heard. My My what an awesome product.... we skip around, we just enjoy our product. It is so awesome!
If you don't own your own copy, I will tell you that you are missing out. It is like you are in a movie, and the sound the quality is so awesome. This is worth every bit that you spend. I don't see what the complaint is about, as this is awesome, Daniel, and Moses were different people, who probably had different voices. This to me makes the bible come alive, through voice. Maybe The Word of Promise is what some who do not enjoy Inspired By The Bible Experience will enjoy. Both are great, but I like the product that I have purchased and so does my family and who every I have shared this with. It is awesome. My husband was every impressed with this product.
Well there are many audio bibles out there, and for the ones that I have own, this is the best one. The last one that I owned before this set, I only purchased half of it, and once this product came out I gave that half away and purchased this one. This has helped me in my devotional time and on the go and rush time. If you have a hard time reading the bible, try this, as you won't be disappointed.
Also our children range in ages from 1 to 9 and they love this bible, maybe we are just fans of audio books, because that is the way that I can get my reading completed while doing housework etc. This is also good for bible study.
The background to me is not a distraction, you hear nature and waves. I just am a fan of this product and believe that it is awesome. I have also gained a better understand and can remember more of the word when I hear this through the audio bible. Gen is so powerful!
In my experience with this product the voices were clear and you could understand them, through the background noise. The back ground noise enhances the product to me.
In closing, I have the entire set on cd. My household has been blessed by this product, we are grateful that this was produced. Grateful that the children even ask to listen to this, as they could chose to listen to so many other things. Their focus could be else where. All I know is that everyone that has encountered this product that I know from my own experience has been blessed. Enjoy your copy!
 UNinspired Bible reading February 25, 2010
Betty Laine (AUSTIN, TX, US)
I don't like the dramatization. It's not what I expected.
When I read the Bible, I read it as God's voice to me. I don't like the performed dialogue as though this were entertainment. For me, the Bible is a compilation of the writers' experience of God and this rendition detracts from the person to person feel I get when I read the words from the page.
I'm very disappointed. I wish I could get my money back and try again for a simple reading of a modern translation such as Today's English. That is really what I was looking for. The ad for this in Amazon said it was TNIV. I thought perhaps the NIV had been updated, but it sure sounds the same to me!
I feel like they misrepresented the product, but maybe I just didn't understand the "Inspired by ... The Bible Experience"
If you like drama in Bible reading, you might like this.
Wonderful Addition to Audio Collection - CD version February 21, 2010
Julie (NJ United States)
Someone had recommended this to me, saying it was probably the best audio version of the Bible. I have only listened to the James Earl Jones version. It was pretty good, but this one has the advantage of a larger cast. I'm actually only to Luke so far, but so far, the presentation is very nice. The TNIV version they use seems to replace the word men with people a lot, but I don't think they changed anything significant, those are contested in various versions of the Bible anyway. The message is still there.
For those of you afraid to read the Bible because it's just too big, try this out and start with the New Testament. The Bible is really 66 separate books written across many different genres. The accounts in the gospels are brought to life in a new way. Try it, you won't regret it.
 Error at the start of Mark February 11, 2010
review (CA)
I decided to listen to the Gospel of Mark first - in the very 1st chapter there was an error - instead of 'Jesus was moved with compassion' it says instead 'Jesus was indignant'
I don't see how this type of error can be excused; why would they not have had someonee review each recording and edit mistakes.
I tried a sampling of other books and I personally did not care for the constant background noise. I had thought that it was only occassionally when appropriate not as continuous background sounds - even for Psalms. Very distracting. Mainly it sounds of people talking, animal sounds, banging - which I just didn't care for since my goal was to hear and follow the reader rathr then be distracted from what was being said.
The readers voices make it still worth listening too, though difficult, the readings are very well done - but the error from the beginning and the constant, and to me unnecessary background noises, were not what I had wanted or expected.
I would certainly consider buying another version of this if they were to come out with just the voices or soft music background only.
Has any recording - cd or dvd - been done using nature sounds as background only - ocean, thunder, water? or relaxing music?
Best audio Bible Ever January 30, 2010
love4holiness (Midwest, USA)
Truly this is the best audio Bible I've ever listened to. So many seem to be dull or poorly edited. This one comes ALIVE! I'm not a huge fan of the NIV Bible and wish this came in NLT or even KJV, but it is simply amazing. I love listening to it and even my kids (ages 11 & 13) really enjoy it. It's easy to tell these are not just "readers" but "actors" as they really do seem to make it come alive. The background noise & music does not detract, but makes it more theatrical. Although this is "acting" - the text read aloud is the exact Bible in this version. No "ad libbing" (if you will). I spent my birthday money from my mother on this & am so glad I did. I highly & enthusiastically recommend it!
