Good. Simple, straight recording.Enjoy a calm, clear, reading of the NIV 2011 bible translation. Read by an accomplished English actor, the voice is soothing, and at times, a resonant, timbre comes through on all players, both on good speakers or simply on more portable, modest equipment. Though it contains no dramatization or additional actors, THIS IS a very well produced treatment, treated with reverence.I think it is worthy of repeat purchase also for both family and friends.David Suchet, the actor who also portrays the French-Belgian detective Poirot on BBC, also happens to be a Christian.This recording is easy enough that you can listen to it continuously. You can load all these files on your iPod, Walkman, phone, tablet, car, workstation, or tabletop player. Listen to this in your car, while you run, wait in a queue, travel, kitchen, bus, or as you are about sleep. Listen to it anywhere. Hear the passages or books, your favourite ones, over again and again. Use this to add variety to your daily bible reading. Get the word by hearing, especailly when you don't have the time or space to read, you can still get the word by hearing. You can also follow along with another bible. Gift it to someone. Give it to someone where listening might be a better alternative or when reading is not the best option for them to receive the Word.The packaging is compact, simple, very easy to store. The 6 MP3 CDs store away easily. When the files are loaded on an MP3 player, or an iPhone, the tracks are organized logically and chapters of the books of the bible are very easy to find. When my portable player requires more space, I create a custom playlist with selected books or chapters for easy, continuous listening
I'm the wife of the name listed for the review. I'm a huge David Suchet fan and have been waiting for this to come to the U.S. market. As someone who already enjoyed listening to audio bible readings, this is simply the best one I've ever heard. This is not dramatized, but David does not read this dryly; he is full of passion and emotion, almost as though he is speaking to another person or presenting poetry. I'm so glad he's done this and I highly recommend to anyone who loves to listen to a good voice, or just wants a good reading of the bible.
Excellent recordings. We love Suchet's reading of the Bible, (My wife has visual difficulties; this has met an urgent need for her). We have given it as gifts with great feedback . A wonderful actor who shares the Word with meaning and sincerity. The best rendering by far.
I've been waiting for this to arrive on American markets for a long, long, long time! It's here, and I am so excited! David's rich voice, intonation, and enunciation makes sure you can follow along and sense the nuances of scriptural context.I listen to this quite often. And am happy to recommend it to anyone else looking for a good narration of the Bible.
Excellent. I'm surprised at how few quality spoken Bibles there are on the market. Most of the ones I've heard have annoying background sounds -mournful dog howl for something spiritual happening or pseudo street sounds or sappy music. This one is excellent. The speaker's voice is soothing and he infuses the words with meaning without being over-the-top dramatic. Best one I've seen or heard of.
I first bought the Audible version, only to find they didn't separate the chapters into tracks. Since faith does indeed come from hearing the Word of God (as well as reading it!), I tried again, and bought the Complete NIV Audio Bible on MP3 CD (ISBN-10: 1444786407) here on , and they DID divide each chapter into a separate track. Also, each chapter starts with the name of the book, then the chapter number, so if you want to randomize chapters, you'll know what book each one is from. Thank you, Mr. Suchet, for sharing your love of the Word! I love, love, love this recording.
The BEST read audio Bible, in my opinion. David Suchet uses small variations in tone and volume to capture the feeling of the text. He reads beautifully. For American speakers, his British accent might not appeal. I am also an American speaker, but find it wonderful. There is no music, no drama, just beautiful and meaningful reading.David Suchet became a believer in Jesus at age 40, and has said this project is his legacy to the glory of God. Well done, David. Well done! Even Hercule Poirot could not find fault with this presentation.
Got these for my 98 yr old dad & he really enjoys it. Had to make sure I had the correct kind of player to play them so that entailed another expense but this audio bible is GREAT. David Suchet is a fantastic reader. Clear and mellifluous voice. We had already gone through Alexander Scourby King James cassettes & are now enjoying this NIV version. Cassettes stay right where you stop them but not so when you unplug dvd players. Hunting where I left off is my only complaint but has nothing to do with the quality of this product. I also bought this player Sony ZSRS60BT CD Boombox with Bluetooth and NFC (Black) & these headphones Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium Portable Headphones with Volume Control for listening to this & enjoy them both.
