Those familiar with any part of the Bible will recognize John 3:16, but find a mind-altering difference. The words are fresh, new, and sound like the 21st century. That's because it is from

The Message, a presentation of the Word of God crafted for a modern age. Unlike other audio Bibles,

The Message was fashioned by Eugene Peterson to be read aloud, not as a study Bible.

Resurrection includes

The Message audio from the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Also includes other relevant scriptures. Listen as the powerful Resurrection message comes alive!

A real blessing!

This blessed me so much! It is perfect for new believers and long time believers alike. A brief snapshot of the whole bible minus revelation. It's title is a little confusing. Resurrection is across the top but beneath it in bigger letters is: The MESSAGE

I highly recommend it, especially to new believers or someone simply curious as to what the bible is all about.

I wish I chose another

I am disappointed because there is no way to choose a particular book or verse in this audio-book. It is the Bible after all and chapter and verse are quite important. The background music is distracting and I've fallen asleep many times while listening, maybe over dramatization is the right format.

Good narration, distracting music

This would be one of my favorite Bible audiobooks if the music were less distracting. It's not so much that it's repetitive -- though it is, at times -- as that it's sometimes too loud.

Ronnie Meeks is a great storyteller, and the NCV is probably one of the best translations for audiobook listening; it's a translation, not a paraphrase, but it sticks to a simple vocabulary and uses straightforward syntax. It's similar in a lot of ways to the CEV or GNT versions but is (in my opinion) better than either of those.

I'm hoping that this will be made available in Audible's new enhanced format. There's a good possibility this will smooth out the clash between music and narration, as it did on Audible's version of The Bible Experience.

One note about the way music is used here. Each chapter has its own musical background. The music varies in quality (some is quite good, some mediocre); all selections are composed, or at least recorded, in a loop, so it can play through the whole chapter regardless of how long the chapter is. The music usually fits the mood of the beginning of the chapter, though sometimes, if there are abrupt transitions within a chapter, it doesn't always fit by the end. Still, I find that having the music helps in listening. If the volume-control issues get resolved, so much the better.

NCV OT AND NT

this is not what I thought it would be. There is not separation of the books and therefore you cannot choose one to listen to at random.

Good Translation/Narration - Bad Audio Quality

Good Translation/Narration - Bad Audio Quality & Music

Why the music?

Would you try another book from the author and/or Ronnie Meek?

I think he did a good job of reading, but the music was very distracting. I wish I had not purchased this book. In fact, if I can return it I will.

Of course the story is good. It's the Bible after all.

The format left it hard to find a particular book or passage. Guess I'm too old to try this.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Publisher's Summary:

Paul's messages to believers, to churches, and to his closest friends provides a roadmap for us today in our individual lives and in the ministry of the church.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful!

For some the Message doesn't seem to be the inspired Word of God, but I feel it is. Peterson taught both Hebrew and Greek at a theological seminary before pastoring in a congregation. His experience with much of the congregation and people he worked with knew virtually nothing about the bible or had become bored with it. He qoutes in The Message Bible "I live in a 2 language world, the world of the Bible and the world of today.So out of necessity I became a translator". He paraprased the bible from the original Hebrew and Greek to make the bible more understandable and relevant to people today.It is powerful and real. The narrator is exceptionally good. Maybe the best I have heard in all my years as an Audible.com listener. I closed my eyes and became immersed in hearing Paul's letters in a soothing voice that could easily be the voice of Paul.

Good only for the established believer.

I love Pauls letters. His lessons are key to living life in this turbulent world. He shows us how to live as Christians and gives us practical advice we can use everyday. There have been few people as uncompromising and clear as Paul. As to the issue of this being inspired word: Im reasonably sure that divine inspiration would remove the need for clich?, slang, and trite images. The Message needs to be renamed to something like The Barely Adequate Paraphrase. That said, and in the spirit of Paul, I think this is a good tool if it brings you closer to the Lord. Be fairly warned though: this should not be a substitute for the true Word. Some of the interpretations are dodgy and cut down. I would hate to think of a follower being misled or confused to what His will is by the authors over simplification and sweeping statements. In listening to this, there were sections that deviated so much for NKJV, NIV, or any other version that Ive read that I didnt even recognize them. In short, Id find this a good tool only for the established, well-read believer but not for those new in the faith.

wow!

what an awesome experience this reading has been,thourougly benefited my thought life and spirit.

Thanks.

I would recommend to anyone at any level of faith ,easy to recieve yet penetrating and expansive .

Title: The Psalms

Author: Naxos AudioBooks

Narrator: Alex Jennings

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-05

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 36 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

The 150 Psalms contain some of the most inspiring lines in the Old Testament: Psalm 23 "The Lord is My Shepherd" and Psalm 121 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills". Yet few know them as a set, and this recording, in Alex Jennings' clear performance, allows us to consider them as a whole. They are not all uplifting and comfortable. Many involve darker sentiments of revenge or punishment; many appear to be by David or about David; others are To the chief Musician upon Gittith. Their variety is part of their strength and their power, especially in the magisterial language of the King James Bible used here. They are presented with English choral music from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Editorial Reviews:

Alex Jennings's delivery is more like a skilled recitation than a narration. Jennings understands the structure of the Psalms as shaped in the well-known language of the King James Bible. Every word is delivered crisply, and his voice is dignified and always respectful. Transitions are bridged with brief excerpts of English choral music from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The combination is beautiful, meditative, and unified.

Members Reviews:

The absolute best version of Psalms!

Where does The Psalms rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This ranks #1 among my favorites!

What other book might you compare The Psalms to and why?

No other book really compares to this one. It is finely performed with calming and lovely selections of music. It is the KJB, which is most beautiful.

Which character as performed by Alex Jennings was your favorite?

Mr. Jennings does a superb job, I love his rendering.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. This is a book I like to listen to in bed at night as I drift off to sleep.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book with a wonderful narrator. It could not be better!

99.999% perfect

I have listened to 10 or more versions of the Psalms. This and Theodore Bikel are two of the very best. Their voices are exceptionally good, not overdone, not dramatized in silly ways, and just solidly easy to listen to.

The Ten Commandments

This book should be mandatory reading for anyone delving into Judeo/Christian studies. My one wish is that Audible had the unabridged version.

The research and clear explanation of the Ten Commandments is wonderful. This is not just a book on what the commandments are, but rather why they are, and how the imapct of each one reaches far and wide into everyones' lives whether they are a Christian or a Jew.

The content of this book is 5 stars...the reason I gave it a 4 star rating is because I found the Rabbi's voice to be distracting because of his lisp. Dr. Laura and the Rabbi trade off every other commandment and I found myself bracing inside when I realized Dr. Laura's segment was coming to an end.

Please do not let that change your mind about this book though. The quality of the information inside is too good to pass up.

What the World needs, especially, NOW!

So beautifully and simplistically explained and the Narrators so very articulate. I, intently, listened to every word which filled me with an inner joy - the Word of G-d!

It is sad and disturbing that most Christian churches do not hold to the Ten Commandments (the basis of the Torah) as the foundation to their faith.

"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path". Ps.119:105

Thank you, Laura Schlessinger and Rabbi Stewart Vogel, for your wisdom in understanding G-d's Word and making it available to all who would 'Hear' (Sh'ma)!

Title: The Story of God, the Story of Us

Subtitle: Getting Lost and Found in the Bible

Author: Sean Gladding

Narrator: Sean Gladding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-28-17

Publisher: Spoken Word Inc

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

Before the Bible was a book, it was flesh and blood. Sean Gladding takes us between the lines of Scripture to listen in on the conversations of people wrestling with the Story of God for the first time. Whether sitting around a campfire in Babylon, reclining at a table in Asia Minor or huddled together by candlelight in Rome, we meet people encountering the Story for the first and the hundred-and-first time. With them we hear a tale that is at once familiar and surprising. The Story of God, the Story of Us is an account of Scripture that introduces us to people who remind us of ourselves, because as much as the Bible is a story about God, it's also a story about usa story, perhaps, we have yet to hear. Read by the author and his wife, Rebecca.

Excellent Retelling of the Bible

This book is transformative- its basically a summarization of the bible, told in second-hand narrative (i.e. the Old Testament is told by an elder of the israelites during the Babylonian Captivity, in the format of telling stories around a fire at night). It makes a lot of the very repetitive aspects much more approachable, and introduces many concepts of the bible much more clearly and links them very well. Each chapter is designed to be about 30 minutes when read aloud (heard it straight from the author's mouth). However, when I read it alone, it takes about an hour but I keep pausing to digest or reread powerful passages- and I am a rather slow reader. Apparently the audiobook version on Audible is the author reading the book, and he is originally from Britain.

I am currently reading this book as part of a study at church, and it is excellent for group discussion and interaction, and would even work well to be read aloud to your family and children. Its approachable for many ages. I will be sharing my copy with my family and friends when I've finished, but it is definitely one I want back. I will be reading it again!

Recommended

Very insightful, easy to read book. This book was assigned to me for a Bible interpretation class I took and it was very helpful. It helped me to see things from a different perspective.

No Truer Story

This is a beautifully written, engaging, personal, precious, paradigm-shifting story. It truly is "The Story of God, the Story of Us;" it is my story. Are you a part of "the Story?"

Great book!

Excellent! Even though I'm familiar with the story from my Bible reading, this book brings out some details I was not as familiar with. It's also a quick way to get the story of God in a short book.

Enjoyed reading and learned alot

Very educational and very interesting. Enjoyed reading and learned alot

Disappointing

Disappointed that words are changed from the text of the Authorized Version. Voice is fine. Text is not. Regret the purchase.

Well done

I love the book of Hebrews. The reading by George W Sarris is very easy to listen to, relaxing and there is a nice resonance to his voice. This is a wonderful book in the Bible. Anyone who listens to it and obeys it with all of their heart can make it to heaven.

I love these Bible readings

The readers voice is so comforting. Hebrews is also one of my favorite chapters in the New testament. For those who found it had to read I recommend you giving this audio version a try. You will not be disappointed.

The Holy Bible - KJV: Hebrews

This is a great way to hear the Bible.

Downloading separate books allows you more control. And save times looking for a book or chapter of the Book you want to hear.

George W. Sarris brings the Book alive.
