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.

Perfect for my needs

I bought this knowing that it would only work for listening to the Bible straight through and not for being able to select specific books and stuff like that. So it has been perfect for my needs. This translation is SO clear and easy to listen to and follow. One of my favorites. Sometimes the music is a little distracting, but it didn't bother me at all. Super thankful for this recording! I've been looking for something like it for some time.

Easy Listening

I like this translation of the bible. The narrator makes this translation easy to listen to. The music in the background at times is surprisingly NOT annoying, but complimentary.

No Table of Content

I can’t go to different books of the Bible and read. I even look online and nothing…. hard to navigate the word of God.

As a first timer to audiobooks bible, I loved it

Nicely done; music in the background; Comes in as 7 part series. You can make a guess which chapter you want to go. But you can bookmark it. Narration was good.
