Amazing production word-for-word and get Enhanced!

Without a doubt, get over any bias you have with your favorite bible translation, and get this! Download the enhanced format (64kbps/22kHz) stereo production and use a good set of earphones/earbuds and hold on! This brings to life what it was like to be there when each book was written. No additional wording, no additional explanations, just word-for-word NKJV bible! I am through to 2nd Samuel and can't wait to turn it on again and continue reading. Use this in the off times when you can't read the Book, like in the car, around the house, at lunch time. You will enjoy this. Keep on reading!

Excellent rendition of Scripture text

I love having having the background sounds added to the narration. It adds another layer of depth to the already deep text of Scripture. I wouldn't use it to supplement my study, but it's wonderful to just sit and listen to. The only actor I really don't care for is Jim Caviezel as Jesus. I have certainly enjoyed Mr. Caviezel's performances in movies, however there are times when I think he makes Jesus sound weak, almost frail when he should sound authoritative, for example in the book of Revelation. In some other portions of Scripture Jesus' speech would naturally sound quiet and even comforting at times. But He is still the Alpha and the Omega, the Son of God Almighty, to whom all power is given in heaven and earth. At the times when He is demonstrating those attributes Mr. Caviezel falls short, in my opinion.

Overall, this performance of God's Word is excellent and I highly recommend it.

Minor suggestion

It would be very helpful to label the chapters. 17 parts with up to 90 odd chapters in each. None are labeled so finding a passage is virtually impossible. Similarly starting at a point, or trying to listen to a particular gospel is virtually impossible. It is possible for Nelson Inc. to label and would suggest that this be done.

A wonderful reading; dramatic yet respectful.

Awesome performance.

I was most moved by the faith of the Hollywood stars who read the Scriptures. in a time of chaos in the world, when darkness abounds, these fine actors brought me a greater depth of understanding in the Bible. Their own love for Our Lord poured through, uplifting me. Thank you all for the treasure you have given us. May God reward you ten fold.
