I am truly Inspired!!!

Listening to the "Inspired By...The Bible Experience: New Testament" really gives me a peace that cannot be explained.

Best Bible Experience Ever

What made the experience of listening to Inspired By...The Bible Experience the most enjoyable?

I like the idea of the story being retold in a dramatic reading. It brings the story alive and right where I am. I read any letter/book of the New Testament from start to finish in one sitting. The letters/books are read straight through without the pause of announcing the chapter. Having it done that way gives the true feel of the instructions given.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inspired By...The Bible Experience?

To truly understand the instructions given by Paul and other writers, we are encouraged to read a letter/book from start to end each day for 30 days. I like that I can do that in about an hour for some of the longer letters/books. Reading the Bible this way keeps me focused on the message. My mind doesn't wonder as much.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

All the narrators grab my attention. I enjoy the entire dramatization although I do identify with some letters/books more than others, e.g. Romans, Hebrews and James are my favorites.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I reaction to the dramatizations was one of delight and enlightenment. I'm glad so many accepted the challenge to bring the Bible to life.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this dramatization to every reader looking to read the Bible and truly study the messages given for a better life.

Best audio Bible heard in 30years ESPECIALLY O.T.!

Best OVERALL dramatised audio Bible I've heard in 30 years of hearing every one ever. ESPECIALLY THE OLD TESTAMENT. Nothing touches an old cassette Book of Revelation (or gospels & music of Word of Promise New Testament). But besides that, this is by far THE BEST overall investment you can make

Great Narration!

Best Version I've herd yet!

I have listened to this over a course of several days, and I love how the voices blend perfectly together, and it's so exciting to just pick up right where I left off. Completely satisfied with my purchase!

Great way to experience the bible

I loved listening to The Bible experience it greatly enhanced my bible study and time in the word. I also enjoyed trying to guess the various readers. The music added at times was a pleasant surprise

Outstanding!!!!!!!

Listening to the Bible with this particular audio version brings the Gospel not only to life but somehow you feel like you are there. I love it!!!!

the story speaks for itself

the beautiful array of voices as this awesome story was told was excellent. a book that yiu will enjoy over and over again.

AMAZING

THE BIBLE COMES TO LIFE AS IF YOU ARE A DISCIPLE FOLLOWING JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

its grate

this is a grate way to read books. i just wish the books words where available. to read along with the voices.

I'm Just Saying...

Awesome! I love it...everytime I had to press pause, I couldn't wait to get back to it; kepted me engaged. If you ever had a goal to read the entire Bible this a wonderful way to do it. This compilation is a great companion for long trips/rides. It also made great Christmas gifts....What better gift, than to share the Word of God!
