Love listening to the OT

If you could sum up The Word of Promise Audio Bible Old Testament NKJV in three words, what would they be?

Enlightening, Confusing, Surprising

Who was your favorite character and why?

God of course

Did the narrator do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes all but Richard Dryfus who played Moses. I doubt he even read the text before he read it. He was very unbelievable and boring, unfortunatly Moses has a lot to say. I understand the producers wanted a big name to help get attention but Richard Dryfuss was not a good choice at all.

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

Don't think that is possible its too big and too many hours.

Any additional comments?

Thank you for making the OT come alive. Hearing things I have never heard or read before. I am very happy this was produced and available.

Bible brought to life

as a Christian I love the acting of this version of the Bible. The actors that were hired to bring the Bible to life did a great job.

Hard to know where you are at.

it would be good to have markers like Isaiah cpt 23 instead of a continuous listing of chat numbers. I have no idea what chat in the Bible is 634. if I want to listen to a certain chpt say one in Ps I have to figure out what where it falls in the continuous numbering.

Addictive!

I've completed the first two parts, and am enthralled. At first, the pace seemed plodding. I tried speeding it up, but it was a bit distorted. However, after an hour or so, I was happily engrossed in the production. I wasn't sure if I would like having music and background dramatization effects, but am loving it. I've been a Bible reader all my life. It's easy to forget that the histories of the OT involved real people living these events in real time. The dramatic effects in this production have reminded me of that fact.

The production quality is excellent. The background effects do not drown out the reading. Rather, they enhance it.
