BOOK AND CHAPTER HEADINGS NEEDED!!!

Would you try another book from King James Version and/or David Cochran Heath?

yes definitley

What other book might you compare The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version to and why?

Alexander Scourby's edition without music back ground is the PERFECT Bible audio file but it seems it is not being offered anywhere that I can find. This edition is very well done in every respect except that it lacks the book and or Chapter divisions making it nearly impossible to navigate.

Have you listened to any of David Cochran Heath’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no but he is an exceptional reader.

Could you see The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Any additional comments?

This is an incredible recording SOMEONE NEEDS to take the time to make the BOOK and CHAPTER devisions so that it can be navigated easily. It was already done with the Alexander Scourby edition many years ago, I'm pretty sure with todays technology it can easily be done again. I explored buying the books individually but they read as one large file with no chapter divisions, SO frustrating. Really hope someone will fix this problem. I would line up to buy it. Thanks

no way to navigate

What disappointed you about The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version?

This audiobook downloads as ten files with no way to visually distinguish what is covered in each file and all have the same graphic. I didn't expect there to be any intuitive way to navigate an audio book, but surely they could appropriately label each file? Whoever orginized this download clearly does not read the bible or they would know what incredible inconvenience this causes. Something as simple as making each graphic a little different (e.g. Gen-Lev, Num-Jud,) would be adequate. As it is, there's no way to tell which section of the book you're opening. I cannot believe I had to give a bad review, one star rating and return the bible of all things. Very poorly executed, audible, and an insult.

What other book might you compare The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version to and why?

There is no comparison

What didn’t you like about David Cochran Heath’s performance?

His performance is excellent

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger due to the format in which it is presented, zero navigation.

Any additional comments?

I'm speechless at this point, am returning the book

navigation difficult

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes! Very worthwhile as is every Bible.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What difference does this make?

Any additional comments?

Some of these questions are inane to the Bible.This particular audio book, being the "Bible", is difficult to navigate on the Audible site. A person needs to be able to swing back and forth from one chapter to another and verse to verse in almost every instance, instead of having to search the over one thousand chapters to make a reference. I have never had occasion to read the Bible when I didn't need to do just that to properly understand the Word.

The best of the audio Bibles

Where does The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

So far, this is the best of the audio Bibles I have listened to. Most bibles are either way too dramatic, or very dry and boring. This is in the middle. Not over the top, but not monotone either. It is very clear and understandable, and has a nice pace. Not to fast. The narrator does an incredible job.

This is the most popular and well known, the King James. I have enjoyed listening so far.

What did you like best about this story?

the gospels of course.

The listener should be able to navigate each book

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, book navigation is difficult. Listener should be able to move from one book of the bible to the other with ease.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The entire Bible.

What about David Cochran Heath’s performance did you like?

The narrator did well with his pacing and tone.

Do you think The Holy Bible in Audio - King James Version needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, the menu and navigation needs to be updated.

Any additional comments?


Overall, this was a good purchase but The Bible is not easy to navigate.
The listener should be able to navigate each book of the bible.
The audiobook is divided into sections, however, the sections do not start at the beginning of each book of the bible.
The chapter titles should correspond with the books in the bible instead of being numbered (for example: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, instead of 1,2,3 & 4).
The narrator did well with his pacing and tone.
